I can think of a few other syndromes common to both camps:

1. Outside underwear (DC worse than Marvel).
2. Monikers ending in "man", "woman", etc.
3. Opera gloves and thigh-high boots for the ladies.
4. Horizontal flying position (really, not a comfy position for the human neck).

One could argue, of course, that these are just conventions of the genre.

Hi Judge.

Anyhoo . . . both companies have characters in those themes. Sometimes in excess. It happens because thats what sells.

Better for aerodynamic purposes though.

Plus if you're flying around you're probably looking for stuff on the ground 90% of the time, so no neck strain there.

What would be a comfortable position then ?

That's what I used to think. But then I thought, like someone like Superman is really going to be bothered by that. Someone like Hawkman...for him it would probably make a difference.

I suppose you could also say that, by being more aerodynamic, they cause less atmospheric disturbance to the environment.

Yeah, I thought that also. Still, there is aerial combat.

In any event, if we take Superman again as an example, it's not likely he's going to get neck strain.

I'm just musing. When you think about it, it's just not a common position people assume, even when we're lying down.

Technically Martian Manhunter shouldn't be in the men or women section, or should be in both yes

Upright, like the Surfer ... cool

Though Powergirl's position looks pretty comfy.
