Options, I like. Honestly, the bodies of both males and females are ridiculously distorted. The female comic heroine body more so because the distortion emphasizes and praises an obviously unhealthy and impossible body type (whereas male body type is merely muscled and toned). And yet? I remember some late-90s X-Men comics where, though skinny, the women's bodies did reflect what their bodies would look like if they were in good shape and skinny. Psylocke, in particular, had HUGE shoulders and muscles with very bony hips and such. It was breathtakingly beautiful in how different it was. I really appreciated that. I also love Dan Dreiberg in The Watchmen having a paunch. Feel the variety!
