Looking for twigs!

[Monty_Cristo]

i need a good listing of super-folk who have less than beefy bods; bordering on rakish. this is all that i could come up with...



Slapstick
Beak (pre-Wanda)
Cyclops (pre-steroids)
Legion
...

can you think of others?

Flatman. He's pretty thin...

[Alan2099]

Pre-Romita Spider-man
Silver Surfer about 50% of the time
Speedball

good one. i forgot about him. actually, Door Man is kind of scrawny under his costume too.

Silver Surfer about 50% of the time

the Surfer always struck me as bulky. guess it depends on the artist. Baldwin definately counts. the Penance costume made him instantly bigger.

Anole is also kinda of weak-looking...

yeah, but that could change. he hasn't reached his full height yet, plus he's got that big@$$ arm.

Yeah, that's true.

Were you looking for women as well, or just male superheroes? I know that most woman are draw with some muscles, but it's usually pretty different with males (i.e Strong Guy, Hulk, etc.)

Thin Man
Famine (Autumn Rolfson)
early Cannonball
Gateway...except for his belly.

maybe he's a marsupial. Famine definately counts. Thin Man counts when he's using his powers.

Yeah, that's true.

sure, you can mention women but only if they are abnormally thin (i.e. Famine) by comic book standards.

[Pwood]

The Power Pack kids might count, but then again, depends on what you're looking for....

Skin from Generation X. He's dead now, but when he was alive, not only was he really thin, but even his skin was baggy. :p

Actually, most of Generation X was originally drawn pretty thin and the girls rather under developed.

Mondo being the biggest exception.

Gotcha. I'll have to think on those for a while, but I think Leech would count...

yeah, Angelo counts. Synch was regular-sized (ectomorphic), from i remember. Jono has since bulked up. Mondo was tubby (i miss that guy).

Beautiful Dreamer was another thin lady...

And wasn't there a thin guy with the Circus of Crime? I can't find him listed anywhere..but I remember a picture. Maybe he was just in the background.
