    The creator of Ms. Muscle is a contributor at Amaz0ns.

    Boy, the stuff I miss when I'm away from a computer.

    When I sent in my idea for Ms. Muscle, I specified that she had to be drawn with muscle, not thin like all the other female heroes with super strength were drawn at the time.

    Howard Bender not only drew that story but he also drew the Dial H for Hero entry in Who's Who. It was inked by a different inker, which is why the art looks different than the original story.

    How cool!

    Oh yeah, I remember that issue of Superboy with Ms. Muscle created by none other than Delmo.  There was a better drawing of her (more muscular) in a Who's Who in DC issue that contained the Dial H characters.  I don't remember the issue number though.

    Okay, I've finally found the issues in question and scanned them to my deviant art gallery.  First up, is the scan of Ms. Muscle in Who's Who #6 and a closeup of her from the background of the entry behind Vicki Grant.

    Lingster, I think you mean the coolest FMG in a mainstream comic book.  There's always the FMG from Karate Girl #1 from Eros Comix.

    I've found this issue and will scan it in the near future.  🙂

    The Legends issue with the muscular woman was issue #5 I believe.  Her name had some version of Muscle (I believe Magnificent was in the name of her or her men) in it but I cannot recall (as per usual).  I do know that she had some muscular henchmen that worked for her.  Her real name was Becky Sue or somesuch.  It's going to drive me nuts trying to remember the name.  I guess I'm going to have to start digging through the old archives.

    Her name is Ms. Magnificent and her male crew was known as the Pretty Boys.  Her real name is Emma Sue.  It's from Legends #4 and is the only known appearance of her.  She was drawn by John Byrne as was stated previously.  Here is the link to the two pages on my site.

    I've also scanned some other pics today including a gorgeous drawing of Polaris from Marvel Swimsuit Special #3 (1994) by Jan Duursema (one of my favorite artists).

    How cool!

    Indeed.  As most of you know, I'm not a comic fan, but it's interestiong to her of the pedigree of one of our own.
