But if I was being honest, the male physiques were always just as ridiculous ('scrawny' Parker who's looked like a weightlifter since the 70's...)

One of my favorite characters (Rachel Grey) sports a pretty much all covering jacket look as my favorite costume for the character (and the one that I hope gets a figure one day). Though the point of comics is to be fantastic and unreal, so with that come ridiculous proportions (like the triangle shape of many male characters in the 90s). Omega Red was like a walking Dorito with limbs and clothes.
