Amanda Waller, Granny Goodness, and Ma Hunkel come to mind. But that is exactly the point. Not every character with powers would necessarily have the figure of a fitness coach/model if it were real life.

There IS an undercurrent of patriarchy/objectification in comic books, but it's because the comic book industry is a microcosm of all of society, just like any media industry. Since society is currently a victim of the patriarchy and systemically objectifying of women, any portion of society will be so as well.
