Tom,
You've got Ace and Gary (well, ambiguously). What more do you want?

Imagine, if you will, a male superhero hung as well as Power Girl was stacked.
I'm assuming "Power Boy" would also have the equivilent of a boob window to showcase that.

I'm not sure POWER BOY should have a window necessarily...
...maybe just a whale tail.

It's worth remembering that all this is part of an ongoing process. When, for example, Supergirl first showed up, as a pre-pubescent, her costume was appropriately demure. When she was arbitrarily aged, that same costume started to be sexy (for the time and place), and the influx of fans who'd "grown up" with mysterious stirrings in their loins meant redesigns that made the costume more overtly sexy. This is where what I call "The Madonna Sydrome" kicks in. If one builds one's image on being outrageous, one must be more and more outrageous. So female superhero costumes became smaller and smaller, with more and more exposed flesh. Eventually, as with Power Girl, there's no longer any attempt even to PRETEND to be subtle. Hanging on my studio wall is a WITCHING HOUR page by Neal Adams, dating from the early Seventies. Miss Cynthia, the sexy member of the witchly trio, is wearing a particularly deep plunging neckline. And her cleavage has been literally scratched out with a razor. To get it past the Comics Code. Times change.

A demonstration of the low esteme afforded to artwork in those days. Given the vintage, it's a minor miracle the page even survived. DC had only recently set aside its policy of shredding artwork.

Shredding...artwork...
I have a hard enough time throwing out my own crappy rough sketches.
I can't even fathom the mentality behind shredding the artwork of Neal Adams (or any other industry pro, for that matter).
Wow.
