Superman should be fat.

[Chaosolous]

Think about it.

If he's super strong, how does he physically get ripped? He'd have to bench press a galaxy just to get in any kind of muscle fatigue.

He shouldn't have any muscles. He should be fat from eating and never burning calories because he's so strong that nothing can be exercise to him.

Why would you say such a thing like that?

I don't get it.

That's the entire point about the critique by feminists on attractive female characters.

Its not about what's realistic, its just about the halo effect, Superman is super handsome, and its hard to be that when fat.

You're forgetting a few things:

1. Not everyone gets fat. Some people can laze around all day and still won't put on any noticeable weight (diet and genetics can both play a role here).

2. (Irregardless of #1) If Superman physically (as opposed to by 'pure magic') has incredibly strong muscles then they still require energy to maintain & use. He's going to be burning calories every time he exerts himself in any form physically - be it big or small (this may include things such as shooting lasers from his eyes too). In fact, doing any of what he does as Superman should require an absolutely tremendous amount of energy. If he isn't just 'magicing-up' all of his energy, what you should really be wondering is 'Why isn't Superman severely emaciated from his body's energy needs?'. His 'calorie usage' should be utterly impractical unless he's chugging down some jet fuel or munching on plutonium rods for breakfast.

3. While (worth noting) its easier to maintain than to build, questions about how he maintains his muscle may be relatively fair though. But he would certainly still have some muscle just from the fact that he uses them (even if he doesn't break a sweat).

Superman is just an alien slug that pilots a man-shaped exoskeleton

OP got a point and you somewhat have the awnser. In the comic books he gets energy from the sun, there is even a comic where he went in to the core of the sun and gathered energy for 15k years up to the point were he could create jane a body and fill it with her original soul. The reason he is not fat bc of plot armor. He should either bursting out of his clothes or be serious malnurished. Flash on the otherhands is a 1000% better explained by the creators.

I join OP and say he should be a fatty.

What I'm saying is that, he can't burn calories because he can't exercise due to super strength. In order to get into shape, you have to have muscle tearing. How exactly does a super human tear their muscles? How would someone who can easily lift a planet, exert themselves into being able to make gains?

He should either be fat or super skinny, but buff? No.
