Er.... how about all mainstream heroes?
All men appear to be built like a body builders, but most women are like playboy pinups, which begs the question how do they run around all day fighting crime without getting knackered!
The fat ones are always stupid, e.g the blob,shape,slab.
The smart ones are skinny or not so physical.
You can't die.
Brothers and sisters,mother and fathers can appear at any time although there has been no mention of them before.
The easy cop out for a super hero name is ... (power) = girl,boy,woman,man.
The uglier you are relates to the amount of power you have or how evil you are, lets face it apocalypse really isn't a looker & he's seriously evil.
The list could go on......
