Spider-Woman's Big Ass is a Big Deal!

194. Because she's not She-Hulk

As a yet anotherspiderclone based character she is supposed to be small. Spiderman is by no means strong looking compared to the average superhero build, because that would detract from what he is supposed to be, if he was as huge as the hulk he couldn't be as flexible, agile and fast, because spiderman, while very strong, with some writers maxing him out as capable of lifting 20 tons and moving at 600MPH he doesn't need that level of ability. The point is that Spiderman doesn't get hit, like ever. And when he can't out power his opponents he's always able to outwit them. He was incredibly shocked with himself when he managed to stun The Thing(the stone man from Fantastic 4), one of the physically strongest characters in Marvel's roster with a punch to the face.

Much of the same follows for Spiderwoman, I've already posted her powers list, she's actually far more powerful then Spiderman, but the only thing that holds her back is that she is supposed to be ashamed of her past of having worked for the Nazi affiliated HYDRA against the Avengers who she ended up working for.

As for the last decade? You're kidding right? Sexualized main stream comic book characters go back to the 60's at least, I'm sure someone far more comic inclined then I can provide you with examples, as I've only just in the last year started reading comics again after not reading them much as a kid and having stopped completely by age 13. I only started again because a buddy of mine brought over the complete Marvel Civil War and a list of what order to read them all in saying I'd like the story, he was right and now I've also started reading the stories it leads into like the Dark series, X-Men Uopia, Fear Itself etc..
