Just wondering… 😕
What's all this to do over the women on the south side of the city (Marvel).  As a collector I grew up reading both Marvel and DC.  I got tired of Marvel since they seem to do mostly all mutant books now.  Any-who, how about the DC women?

Personally, I'm an FF / Avengers man and a She-Hulk fan, myself – stopped with the multiple-multipling-mutating X-Books back in '92.   😎

But in answer, I think if you check over the preceding pages there's been a fair number of DC postings, including some that I've provided – as well as one from Image Comics featuring the Savage She-Dragon.

Of course, you're perfectly free to contribute some postings from DC to help balance out the femuscular load.   😉

well, Marvels 'mutants' are like DCs 'metahumans'. They're the generic explanation for superpowers. Spidey's not technically a mutant. Hell, that's even a topic of controversy in Spider-man House of M.

I'm still waiting for people to post scans of Grey-She Hulk during that limited cosmic squish event.

Not quite. Metahumans are regular humans who later acquired superpowers. For example, The Flash. In DC, humans born with superpowers are still called mutants; it's just not as big a deal as it is in Marvel.

That's EXACTLY what I thought it was but every DC site is like "NONO ANY SUPERPOWERED HUMAN IS A METAHUMAN"

So eventually I stopped clarifying "Spidey = metahuman, Wolverine = mutant" and just went along with it.

Now i'm confused again.

Well, I'm inferring the mutant thing from the TPB of the "Judas Contract" storyline from Teen Titans. Jericho, who was born with his powers, is referred to as a mutant.

I think in the Marvelverse, mutants are refered as the omçnes born with the superpower, however, I never saw a reference for a special name for the other superheros, the ones who gained their superpower in adulthood. I think that's the problem at Marvel, because the word mutant, refers to those people who have a diferent dna patern in their cels, no matter when the mutation satarted.

Wikipedia weighs in…

For my part, I always thought that mutants gained their powers by birth, whereas metahumans got theirs by accident or experiment.  😕

Female Muscle Growth Nut: that would be Ultra Girl.
Melon Man just posted a thread about her.

Shadow also tells I that ya'll missed out on an other muscular Marvel Charcter: Free Spirit from the Captain America comics.
I's know nothing about her but The Shadow insists that she is fair upon the eyes.
Maybe some here know of her and if there is truth in Shadow's words?
Peace

  😳 Now, I'm sorry to interrupt such an interesting discussion with things so trivial, but I searched and found the issue of Captain America in which appeared Free Spirit for the first time. Nothing spectacular, but I post some pages anyway:
