Not all comic book characters have perfect muscle tone, huge biceps, and washboard abs. Most are in shape, which helps when fighting crime and saving the world - activities that burn a lot of calories. But there are exceptions. Fat superheroes and supervillains exist on both sides of the good vs evil line. Heroes and villains are like everyone else, with physicality pushed to extremes. A fit hero is a specimen of perfection, while an overweight hero is often ridiculously obese. Their weight doesn't make them less compelling, though, and it gives artists a chance to depict non-idealized human forms. If you're looking for big-boned comic characters, this list has the best fat superheroes and supervillains.
