Despite the fact of growing larger and taller, including super strength and enhanced invulnerability, Polaris didn’t gain near as much femuscle as one naturally might expect* – of course this was the era of soda-straw arms, even for the She-Hulk or Thundra.  Something similar also happened to Madelyne Pryor in the mini-two parter X-Men / Alpha Flight – some of the rare panels with her Asgardian-Titanessized form were quite impressive, especially in comparsion to Cyclops or Professor X.

*Ironically, the artists doing the cover work would draw her with a slightly more impressive build – a cut of figure that never matched the inside pages.

There were several issues pencilled by Marc Silvestri where she was really depicted as a big girl.  I'll see if I can dig them up and scan a few samples.

BTW: There's a slight FMG scene much later in the series, but we'll get to Miss Doublefinger another time.

(Heh..and this is me wishing we could have a Shulkie pic of her dressed up like Miss Monday)

Miss Doublefinger is definitely more feminine looking in the manga.  Can't wait to see the episode of her.

There's a Japanese Mah-Jong game called Hot Gimmick Forever (??? ???? ??????) which features a girl from a bodybuilding club called Akiko Daimon (????). 

There's a good picture of her on this page and another on this one.
