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.

If you want to see what we need to do to reverse this problem, the answer is here:

The Legacy Of Pythagoras

None of those characters are actual main characters, but more like supporting characters. i don't believe there is any overweight,ugly, or old female superheroes... only old males i can think of are Currently steve rogers til he reverts young again in FCBD, THE REAL Nick Fury who last i saw was sitting on the moon and became the new watcher during Original Sin, Old man logan, Magneto.... that's about all i can think of.
