You may want to expand your comic reading beyond the adolescent male fantasy driven "American Superhero" comic genre.
Because no matter how much of an athlete those characters are supposedly written to be, they will always be depicted as the kind of athlete that makes it into Playboy's Invitational Bunny Games. It's kind of how Barbie can be a lawyer and a fashion dreamboat at the same time. It's the thinly veiled lip service we expect our media to provide as a protective cover story (read PC) that allows us to pretend that our baser desires don't exist.
Personally I think I would find superhero comics a little more interesting if there were some normal looking folks among the supers. Aging and death would be a nice addition as well.
