Let's talking about our favorite F.A.s & Plus Size heroes (comics, mangas, animes, litterature, mytho, whatever...)

She should have a much better hairdo in her big state. The bulimic-based transformation should go and be replaced by something technologically based.

I think Olivia Wilde would be a great fit for a live action Big Bertha film.

I, on the other hand, like Power Girl. She's strong, smart, agile beautiful, down to Earth and has huge boobs. Obviously that last quality makes her uber popular in many ways (cosplay, fanfiction, fanart, etc.) but she's still a no show in terms of film and TV appearances (seriously, WTF is a Galatea?!).

I imagine her with curves beyond her bosom and stories beyond print. Sure, she should keep a respectable level of muscle but big boobs need a nice natural soft support system of a cushy midriff and a rotund posterior. And Karen/Power Girl/Peej seems like the type to overindulge and not give a shit. I mean, really, would a few (dozen) extra pounds slow down the strongest and fastest woman alive?

DC has to do something drastically different so why not a rated R Power Girl film? I say Iliza Schlesinger would be a perfect fit after she packs on about 20-30 pounds. They'll need a great director- I really think this would be right up Quentin Tarantino's alley.

PG's weight being 180 makes sense when you consider that she's got frighteningly ripped arms and legs aside from the big rack/hips being about six feet tall. A lot of issues in her solo series had her over eating: in a Wonder Woman cross over its revealed she eats multiple foot long hot dogs for lunch every day, in a Harley Quinn crossover the two eat a meal from every restaraunt in a mall food court. In an event comic, action comics convergence, she was depowered for a year and depressed she had to exercise and eat right and was still gaining weight (15 pounds I think). Unfortunately the art had her still being skinny and ripped, although there was a nice panel of her freaking out at seeing the scale. It was a real missed opportunity for both a bigger gain (I'd say thirty or forty) , a chubby PG huffing and falling behind an aerobics class and her struggling into her costume when her powers came back. There was also a Justice league international where PG, then the writers idea of a feminist, was complaining constantly of having to drink diet soda to stay thin so she'd look good for men, entered into a weight loss contest despite having no excess fat bar her boobs. Given shed complained that her muscles had scared off guys, her gaining weight instead would be better.. We'll have to wait for anything else, currently she's not in any comics but I've got hopes for JLA rebirth. 

beyond comics and into books, the Malazan book of the fallen had a pretty nice selection of plump and obese female mages. My favorite was Rucket, a rail thin and super hot thief/Mage who uses sexuality to throw people off. When her city is occupied, she disguises herself with a spell that makes her look and feel like she weighs six hundred pounds that are lovingly described. Rucket really enjoys the attention being fat gets her and debates blowing up for real in her last scene.

She wasn't a kryptonian at the time due to editorial nonsense. As to human body image issues, who knows.

IF we're talking about Malazan, I am duty bound to bring up Rucket.

She's a lithe, skinny spy/mage who winds up using a magical disguise that makes her gigantically obese. We're talking wider than she is tall while being above six feet. Her stomach is described as an avalanche of rolls, her breasts grain sacks and her chins uncountable. And she gets enormously off on being so noticeably huge, musing that she wants to do it for real when the war is over.

That's a little more overt than I would have imagined.

In another book in the series, there's a girl who's been kidnapped by an apocalypse cult to be their messiah. She shows up several books later, having decided that the apocalypse will come from hedonism, over the dividing years having become an immobile blob who does nothing but eat, smoke pot and have sex.

In other news, it's simply a Witcher-styled WG/BBW Dark Fantasy erotica without the name, so it may pass as mainstream. 😂

You joke, but if love a mainstream fantasy where the sexy noble ladies and gorgeous sorceresses were period appropriate plump.

 

Speaking of the Witcher, while Yennefer is described as extremely thin in the first book, later Ciri describes her as impossibly voluptuous on seeing her bathe, Yen holds herself back from a party due to claims of watching her figure (with a rival offering her some fattening appetizers) and she even rips out a seam in her dress on bending over. I know I'm a pervert seeing things, but the implication is she'd put on weight. A couple sentences saying she'd put on weight since Geralt had seen her last and describing how good her plump hips and soft belly made her look would have been perfect but no one ever draws attention to it.

 

Sigh, one day I'll do a rewrite.

I keep forgetting to ask, but have you played Witcher 3? I’m playing it now and there’s a line where Geralt coyly warns Triss to watch her eating at a party.

Oh yes, I love that part where she's gushing about how many deserts there will be

Well, she's a socially-upward sorceress living in a medieval-like world set (with every trapping it may include, culturally speaking) who spent several decades enjoying a semi-hedonistic lifestyle and to gather a collection of rivals. 

Perhaps she has been hexed by an envious fellow kin, but in sort she wouldn't suspect her creeping weight as an issue that prevails from a supernatural origin (since it has been mentioned than turning people instantaneously fat is feasible for magic users) .

Perhaps the Law of Chance is progressively retributing something in consequence of an action she has done. Perhaps that many lifetimes of compulsive trauma-issued comfort eating (due to her background as the less loved child of a family of peasants and many kids) had finally built their way out.

Or perhaps she intentionally fattened up herself in case of an emergency that might require to spell an enchantment so strong it might require to siphon her life essence: so instead having body parts nay her whole appareance withering away or worse, the magical retribution would be simply redirected into her excess fat (if that is the case, then Yennefer is really clever) and she would simply lose a lot of weight and stamina in a flash instead being caught out off-guard or dying-- which is typical of Yennefer's line of thought.

Or one cause after another, taking her from skinny to curvy to plump to fat to obese to needing magical levitation to get around to outgrowing even that to going back to skinny after casting an epic spell and changing nothing about her diet.

I, too, am quite drunk 🥴 It gets me into a certain mood to write epicness. I’d draw too, but this room has no functioning lightbulbs

Wow man that sucks.

The lightbulb part. Not the mood or drunkness per se.

A certain short story has been wafting in my head for a few days. I’ll be writing it after the next Thin College chapter.

Oh fuck yes.

[Batman76]

Here's a pretty good joke cover:

 

She actually does eat a ton in comics. Just binging on junk food all the time. Part of the same author team that had Power Girl eat all the time and had PG gain weight when depowered....
