I know, the unrealistic female bodies would seem to hamper our heroines'
abilities to get around. It's so funny, I can accept alot of fantasy and
fiction in my literature or comic books... but certain basic mechanical
incongruities (like those breasts really would get in the way in they
type of combat the X-men take on) interrupt my flight into fantasy!
