One of the things that has caused a rift between breast-men and butt-men is that the two are often visually exclusive, but trust modern art to bridge the disparity. Intrepid comic book artists have taken the task of completely removing super-heroines' spines, allowing them to contort their bodies in such a way that both headlights and bumper are in full view, and thus was born the compromise of the ages. This is oddly common trope has been going on for years now. The progenitors are often thought to be artists like Tarot's Jim Balentz and Youngblood's Rob Liefeld, both of whom seem to have never taken a single course in anatomy. Example: Black Widow Being named after an animal that murders post-coitus, Black Widow is apt to be hyper-sexualized., but the contortion seem above is a bit much even for her, and she looks like a broken Barbie doll. I don't know if the artist has ever seen someone jump, but they normally don't attempt to twist their torso in mid-air, while leaving their legs perfectly sitll. The common reasoning for this is that "she's inhumanly acrobatic, therefore inhumanly flexible," which is why on this cover, Hawkeye's back and junk are simultaneously in full view as he's jumping. Except that they aren't.
