Ugh. Frenzy is supposed to be nowhere near a “glamazon.”  
She’s supposed to be a butch, buff woman like Grace Jones on roids. (although Jones was kind of glamazon wasn’t she?)  
Then at some point… she got turned into Rihanna.

Halle Berry has a face? 😉

c’mon admit it. If you lifted Dyanne Thorne from the Ilsa movies and used her as Kapitan Marvel no one could tell the difference. (I know Fascist doesn’t equal Nazi but I couldn’t think of another reference.)

Frenzy was drawn and portrayed very butch originally, true, but it’s comics. NO female stays that way for long. Hell, look at the improved [Amanda Waller](https://www.google.com/search?q=Amanda+Waller&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=PtFTVezEC8PRsAXN5oGoDw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=955#imgrc=Dw9-Nz1n556qwM%253A%3BIH6maX5G55MewM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fstatic.comicvine.com%252Fuploads%252Foriginal%252F6%252F66303%252F2576944-original.jpeg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.comicvine.com%252Fforums%252Fgen-discussion-1%252Fanyone-else-not-liking-skinny-amanda-waller-1512876%252F%3B1277%3B2066) compared to the [original](https://www.google.com/search?q=Amanda+Waller&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=PtFTVezEC8PRsAXN5oGoDw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=955#imgrc=piCOX2tEHlhcYM%253A%3B6sWg3d830lRGeM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fimg2.wikia.nocookie.net%252F__cb20120724222939%252Fbatman%252Fimages%252Fb%252Fb6%252FAmanda_Waller_YJ.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.reddit.com%252Fr%252Fcomicbooks%252Fcomments%252F2cpeil%252Ffat_amanda_waller_or_skinny_amanda_waller%252F%3B359%3B697).

I wasn’t sure how to vote at first, but finally settled on She-Hulk. Not for any nudity-related reasons, and not because I think she’d most easily fit into the storyline (she wouldn’t), but just because she’s a lot of fun.

Seriously. My favorite example is Red Sonja, who for most of her career has worn what looks like a bikini made out of silver dollars\*

She-Hulk, just because I’ve long thought it would be cool for them to have a team made up of “replacements” show up at some point. USAgent, War Machine, She-Hulk, Thunderstrike (or maybe Hercules if Thunderstrike is too high concept for casuals going to movies, Beta Ray Thor is obviously right out), etc. I know War Machine technically joins at the end of the 2nd movie
