How many of us can actually say they have a size 2 waist or a chiseled six-pack? Not many of your average Americans, but I do know of a select group that can. A group of men and women with a physique so prefect it's unrealistic- because they are unreal. They are the comic book superheroes that generation after generation has come to love.
Superheroes were made for many different reasons. Historically, superheroes were used to boost the moral during a time of war, and now they primarily serve as forms of entertainment. Regardless of their purpose, they have always had at least one thing in common throughout the years- their godly, unrealistic, absolutely perfect body.
According to Bulimia.com, a website dedicated to help those with eating disorders, about 2/3 of the United State’s population is overweight and to add to that 33.7% of men and 36.5% of women are obese; although, 100% of superheroes have perfect body shapes.
In this article, Bulimia.com photoshopped several well-known male and female comic book covers; however, instead of “touching them up” you could say they “touched them down” to give them the body type of your Average Joe.

I agree with Bulimia.com in which if a superhero had a more attainable body type, then more people have a reason to look up to their favorite superhero, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people believe they need to emulate this very unrealistic physique.
