Majority of superheroes both male and female ARE clothed in spandex, especially in the earlier days. Captain America was originally clothed in spandex, it wasn't till much recently that he changed.
Still, majority of all comic characters have tight fitting spandex costumes that showcase every single bulge in their anatomy. And while I agree that there are more male characters with sensible attire (Thor, Ghost Rider, Ironman, etc.), I'd like to point out that the most scantily clad comic characters are ALSO men (Namor, Hercules, Conan, etc.).
Eyeball him punching Hitler.
That is chainmail.
So no, female characters don't have a monopoly on being scantily clad. Fact is, comics glorify the human form. They exaggeratedly draw comic characters to showcase them in the most attractive light possible, and this is true for both men and women. Female characters are drawn with body proportions that would be just as impossible to achieve naturally as the men's ridiculously muscled physiques. Why do you think actors like Hemsworth and Cavill still need to wear muscle suits just to keep up with their character's appearances?
I have the Thor book for the first movie & it points out they took his measurements for the costume, but he kept working out. They had to split the arms open.
In fact, one could make a case that being encased in heavy armor and still having your muscles outlined and bulging from under it is a more ridiculous form of physical objectification.
Is Vallejo for guys or gals?
As for manga, some of the most sexually suggestive clothing and exaggerated anatomy I've ever seen on a comic was from manga.
It is deliberate
I have far too much anime & manga to even think about.
Nothing you said here addresses the fact that Namor, Conan and Hercules are still more scantily clad than majority of female characters.
Captain America had chain mail on his pecs and shoulders, everything else was so tight that his musculature was clearly defined. That's like saying Red Sonja's costume is protective because she has a scale mail bikini.
I also don't understand why you linked pics and vids of Hemsworth. What's that supposed to prove? Just because he's muscular doesn't mean he's comic accurate. He's still a far cry from the muscularity of Thor as drawn in comics. I mean, female actors who play these roles are also fit and shapely, they still can't compare with the proportions of the way these female characters are drawn.
Because as muscular as Hemsworth is:
He is still nowhere near as jacked and ripped as this guy:
Saying that Hemsworth is as muscular as comic Thor is about as realistic as me saying Angeline Jolie:
Is just as sexy as game Lara Croft:
I also have no idea what bot bands and Vallejo are, but I seriously hope you're not suggesting that women aren't attracted to well-muscled dudes.
