In the recently ended Charles Soule run, she does sort of get bigger when she’s about to fight, in a way reminiscent of a manga muscleman: flexing bulging muscles so hard they rip through clothes.
I am. 
She doesn’t have the rage-based strength that Hulk has, and there is indeed an upper limit to her physical strength, but she is (at least, potentially) stronger than a non raged-out Hulk. I was actually collecting She-Hulk during the story arc where it was revealed that She-Hulk can make herself stronger by exercising in her human form (IIRC, they actually said that She-Hulk is “exponentially stronger” than Jennifer Walters). So, the upper limit of her physical strength is y^x, where x = whatever Jennifer Walters is capable of working her max bench up to be.
I tend to get him mixed up in my head with Peter Davidson. It makes Doctor Who more interesting, I’ll tell you that.
She-Hulk’s not disfigured, but she does have her own issues. She suffers from a recurring mental problem where she sometimes believes that she is a comic book character.
In my defense, I blame the writing in this Wikipedia article: Barbara Gordon - Wikipedia
It doesn’t quite say it, but it heavily implies that Oracle came after Women in Refrigerators.
The irony being that two of the first “Women in Refrigerators” were Steve Trevor and Larry Lance.
It is? Looks pretty much the same to me.
This question of female superheros being sexually assaulted is an interesting one. In the real world, sexual assault IS something which women have to fear and deal with more often than men. I don’t think it’s prima facie ridiculous to think that the ratio of sexual-assaults-of-female-superheros to sexual-assaults-of-male-superheros should reflect that… although I think it depends on a lot of other contextual issues.
Certainly I think that in the “real world”, if a Wonder Woman equivalent did exist, threats of sexual violence would in fact be something she would face.
The problem is that superheroines are, well, super. Everyday humans should not be able to overpower them. Even if they don’t have superpowers, they are extremely well trained fighters that have taken down superpowered creeps.
Sure, maybe women have to fear sexual assault more than men, but do you think the Ronda Rousey is as scared as just a girl off the street? And, let’s not forget, the numbers aren’t that lopsided–men can be raped–I’ve seen estimates as high as 30% of all rapes having male victims.
It’s actually one of the things that made Wonder Woman suck, at least, in some point of her history. You could grab her wrists and she’d suddenly become powerless. I think this was even explicitly stated in some versions, and not just the trope.
Well, that’s certainly true. How often is that happening as opposed to being attacked by super villains? (And of course some superheros and superhero-related characters are not, in their own person, particularly skilled fighters, particularly if caught without their equipment/armor/whatever.)
I’ve never heard of Wonder Woman becoming powerless by just having her wrists grabbed. I do know that in the Golden Age, at one point, she would lose her powers if she let a man weld her bracelets together.
