Even with the lore explanations, I think it just helps maintain suspension of disbelief when you visually see someone muscular doing impossible feats of strength rather than someone physically unfit. But to your point, I would like to see more super heroes with strongman barrel physics instead of the aesthetic prioritizing body builder physique.

I think Spiderman is a decent example of not being comically ripped but I always believe he's as strong as he's depicted due to his powers.

Spiderman is still super fit. He's lean muscle and not bulky body builder fit, but he still has muscle. Even in the comics his muscles are very well defined.

Yeah.

Nolan had right idea with Bane. Tom Hardy looked like he could fight wolves.
