* ComicBook/SheHulk has gotten this a lot of through the years especially during her fourth wall breaking days in the 80s. However it can be inappropriate at times e.g ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' where an [[http://i.imgur.com/TkggryU.jpg entire panel is focused on She Hulk’s fine buttocks]]. This normally wouldn’t be a big issue, but the scene in question is a serious discussion about superhero ethics, ''not a peep show'', therefore the {{fanservice}} is unnecessary as well as artistically off-tone.
* ComicBook/BlackWidow gets this all the time, her solo comics in particular tend to have [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Zth1Zz5eNq_6OstIzPZFnLp-uAiPeFUi2H3wc12aXYpDzy7UMWHcliPP-8Lvrzw1OEEHmfTnErhp=s0 increasingly]] [[https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/980083.jpg racey]] covers. Only relatively recent comics have toned this down with Natasha.
* If ComicBook/CarolDanvers is in a book wearing her "Comicbook/MsMarvel" leotard, [[https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/74dec0e9-91eb-4199-9106-e436657ee1f1/d11gzdp-354479bf-5fb7-4026-a5f3-4f85d75f5208.jpg chances are the artist will find some way to get a rear shot]], regardless of what she may be doing at the time. Artists have been known to draw her with a [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQofuIdiaf5b_MlvYPvOpSujrdBps2BFxeVRg&usqp=CAU rather]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/b/b6/Ms._Marvel_Vol_2_3_Textless.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20061023132958 sizable]] [[https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.PwuUVN_7YqxFkWv5Tiqc3AHaHW&w=THUMB_WIDTH&h=THUMB_HEIGHT&rs=1&pcl=dddddd&o=5&pid=1.1 backside]]. Later comics have toned this down immensely with Carol when she's Captain Marvel... [[https://www.comicpow.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Captain-Marvel-1-Butt-Shot-1.png well most of the time]].
* ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson while not in the 60s (the comics code would not allow it) was definitely subject to this in the decades that followed [[https://i.redd.it/5jfvv8x5k1w21.jpg most]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSqc89RONLR79bAmvwEb_l4NCHgGeiKwCR-0w&usqp=CAU notably]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQ4HLdkl-Yu4ZUW9hcFlfyEIV8TvPBwG8s_tA&usqp=CAU under]] Creator/ToddMcFarlane's pen. It's also lampshaded multiple of times in-universe like one time MJ [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2f/75/02/2f75022657832d1b58d923f7f15a6c67.jpg explained]] to [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter]] "Every woman knows there are ways to be make sure nobody pays attention to your face" and in another comic Peter went to talk to MJ while she was in the middle of a Bedroom Farce and got [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted]] by his [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/24aYUeow6UQZptu8Bvwt_HEoCG4CdfCYMQkwCf3wvAu3V5BGwIRv0UlySOpyoKUcqADqhjL_2BJb=s1600 wife's lingerie]].
** ComicBook/BlackCat and to a lesser extent [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/0/3133/119397-2378-gwen-stacy.jpg Gwen Stacy]] get the Male Gaze as well. ComicBook/SpiderGwen [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/89/5f/74/895f741179ff9023e97ae2012154807e.jpg occasionally]] get this as well.
* Pre-Crisis adult Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} got this a lot, depending on the artist. In ''Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'', drawn by José Luis García-López, many panels prominently featured her cleavage or her long legs. One time even ComicBook/{{Superboy}} got [[https://theragingfanboy.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/theadventuresofsuperman502-superboymeetssupergirl001.jpg distracted by her bosom]].
** Supergirl's updated origin from ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' is pretty (in)famous for this as not only does Supergirl emerge from her rocket in her birthday suit with only a [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/0U58rPWM6lWnveSc3iB1xX7A7dDuE8R33Tcpi7yRtGToKFdCRdDViEK-Bug-8nNZsSoyih0-hfUnGb5Qd8OcfU7s4-GodGoqsQ4AKUFeg4OsScRoBhbL5P9Y0ii-D0V5h3XnSgXkWg=s1600 coat]] and later [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/rkq9W8WiPw15Lsm2BHocpVLR1j0rtnZYFj9AFGannGdVijiDM4YO0Ang7R5bdlQ_f3UjVLc-8k6Uwr0-JHcWF_wT8wlsiaocX4tSwBShaqgXhAkVhizHj_9MnEChyHsHKhQ4GdIyKg=s1600 Superman's cape]] to cover her naughty bits and later trains with [[LadyLand Amazons]] in [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/WRjUnburJr0iigovBf8yCn_Y_CFs14Fb2ism7Irg3Bns7Zdf1QZ7__LCZX8edLVaJerPPcUmi_sn7l7LsixsM-Hr_KKk9ey0OaTax8n9gjNbjhRHaI4kv_DbrwIs2XNHYZY57f7_ZA=s1600 full detail]]. After enough complaints from people about sexualising a teenager girl DC eventually toned down the MaleGaze with Kara.
* ComicBook/{{Elektra}}'s body is prominently featured during fight scenes. When she dodges, artists usually draw her from behind to emphasize her ass. Flying kicks are drawn from the front, effectively becoming full-page crotch shots.
* ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} gets this a LOT. It is a rare issue that she does not show her butt to the reader. She's regarded as the TropeCodifier for BoobsAndButtPose.
* ComicBook/{{Rogue}} thanks to her SensualSpandex [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fwFr8OnAL5w/VxSnSugm8pI/AAAAAAAAGQU/yI5hGxuOgx8WBcA7R0r9eM-2t5pc63BpQCCo/s1600-Ic42/RCO029.jpg gets]] [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dv6XTPjfnyY/VxSnYF0WgMI/AAAAAAAAGQU/FN07CTpqMVIyzm68A9hgc8WoFwECn3XHwCCo/s1600-Ic42/RCO049.jpg this]] as much as Psylocke, especially when Creator/JimLee drew her. In one Jim Lee drawn issue while Rogue was fighting Mojo and a good percentage of the panel is [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/B0wSGHD0svPy59oE8te7Ar9mUjo4SdlWqKEXfgjNrPFKk1XRhLuywsNbUvL6DssCS0KpjYm08QD5=s1600 her shapely rear]].
* ComicBook/{{Storm}} has a long of history of [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRiGJHxQ7yOuF3dWSu2tcNoQHiGjTeYYtoA5Q&usqp=CAU being the subject]] of Male Gaze even in [[https://continuityerrorblog.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/storm114-2.jpg?w=583&h=858 her earliest comics]]. She’d even go around naked and only covered by GodivaHair, thanks to [[NationalGeographicNudity her culture being less fussy about clothes]], also Creator/ChrisClaremont [[AuthorAppeal had a massive crush on her]]. Lampshaded InUniverse as Gambit's students in one issue kept trying to peek on Storm whilst she sunbathed topless.
* ComicBook/JeanGrey also got her fair share amount of the MaleGaze from [[https://terrigen-cdn-dev.marvel.com/content/prod/1x/emma_jean_1.jpg the 80s]] [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1ZxjFoDpnj8/WL8u-jvFa2I/AAAAAAAAe9c/P3R4SDgTXk48w9cmlqv7OGTVOYHVgJsSACEw/s1600/Wolverine%2B%252363%2B-%2BProf%2B%2526%2Bjean.png to the 90s]] and [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s2xarMxC8nY/W71kRqQHpjI/AAAAAAAAjHg/3IDAHKgmQ_EiwuABnMA_DfZl2pR26VQFgCEwYBhgL/s1600/X-Men%2B%2528vol.%2B2%2529%2B%252335%2B-%2B90s%2BButt%2BShot.jpg beyond]]. Whether it be her green Marvel Girl dress, her Phoenix outfits or her yellow SensualSpandex Jean's curvaceous body rarely doesn't get special focus.
* ComicBook/EmmaFrost, she has "the best body money can buy" and [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/6/68/Emma_Frost_%28Earth-616%29_Namor_McKenzie_%28Earth-616%29_Uncanny_X-Men_Vol_1_540.png/revision/latest?cb=20110710084346 proudly]] shows it off. Many panel are dedicated to her breasts and buttocks.
* ComicBook/{{X 23}} while not initially, would eventually be subjected to MaleGaze [[https://i1.wp.com/5b0988e595225.cdn.sohucs.com/images/20180819/3c8ae93ffe584eeb8bd34cd5f06d853f.jpeg?w quite]] [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/8/80000/2013747-x_23_09_19_no_pockets.jpg frequently]] [[https://iwt.sfo2.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/cbr-covers/427200b3e80fd281b6ad7f9ec7d3e142_xl.jpg in her comics]]. Although she does get it less than aforementioned female ''ComicBook/XMen''.
* ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'' features an issue in which Vicki Vale spends a scene standing around posing in lacy pink underwear for absolutely no reason. The script for the scene ([[https://66.media.tumblr.com/e1f70de74c9ff213eb3325e7022cd0ea/tumblr_oee1couR261qzj6elo1_1280.jpg included in the trade paperback]]) contains a blatant admission from Frank Miller as to what he was doing: "Okay, I'm shameless, let's go with an ass shot."
* ''ComicBook/BlackCanary'': Frequently. As strongly written as she was in ''Birds of Prey'', she also spent the entirety of the run pretty much constantly with a wedgie so that her ass popped out of her leotard better.
* In ''ComicBook/TheLoners'' the team debate whether the villainess's getup is a costume or a tattoo.

Hulk FINALLY came out, there's [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/bPPBopkR2w9Au_Mv2J9TzvzB2S9SgiUV0BxqPwgSNhTDGxJLfB82eDpUpAtHf7y7htj1exdoiuGei8uZ2FTDvQbN9IRtJP8VU38EuoqOquupu5z-dBpqcmTZyE0eVWXE5IQHw_3P5aA=s1600 a scene]] with Betty Ross injecting herself with a drug in her buttocks, which are front-and-center in the panel. The whole comic is rife with this, [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Sj4AcjVmI8sSfewHaa5UVwMd_p1u8ZivF-pDQvHPkmwE0xKEprNffN41SlfUv5880yJ1ZiEh1Rb9Ti0VgNclyUtsw3H-wQTd1lzSqwF02MQKXaLcOWnDIQXQ8r-fE61Bhu0NfQectA=s1600 see the Hulk's harem]].
* In [[ComicBook/TheHulk Hulk]]'s 2011 series the character Amanda Von Doom (no relation to [[ComicBook/DoctorDoom Victor]]) gets a [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/yhhyNOOIToohAgxqUU0FTImE2uGWalZ-LtQ86qN0rknlqZNAwiHACSeFwkUQ4d2EbztHXy-CPCNi=s1600 good]] [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/a7dB_wq_8xLwoIMNbXO4jABis5L0O3-oZtDmxzCHPBM_7Q9U9KnAFze87LM7AurBhwaFgcIcqN3-=s1600 amount]] of this. The same series also has ComicBook/BettyRoss walking around in [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/1OwqLOpvGLkBjwvfxc-j-TLYYkeAJx8JSjBTD_2W2FMfIBSFEPGi3VadXT92LyK-NqkdfTWrpoLf=s1600 skimpy bikini]] and only [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/YERqinjdP6C9PI4dEAde04FteYClm3GLCtLcGEY9V38m4RJ5qurN8E0RHihIl5-vveiVjACxD4lJ=s1600 improving the situation]] by turning into Red She-Hulk.
* ''Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' drawn by the aforementioned Ed Benes has plenty of this. Particularly in ''Justice League of America vol.2'' issue #14 where Lex Luther reveals he’s got most of the league captured to Superman and most of the splash page [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQuzIR1flBySFb-ok9DsJOplu3AGnDCRyzNZQ&usqp=CAU is largely focused on Wonder Wonder, Black Canary and Vixen being bound up with their curves prominent]]. Fans even dubbed it “Lex Luthor's Cheesecake Pillar”.
* One of the first things we see of Comicbook/{{Starfire}} in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' is her buttocks. And ''only'' her buttocks, since the panel cuts off her body from the waist up. To say nothing of the fact that the swimsuit scene in the first issue was supposed to have her in a ''[[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/48/d7/8d/48d78d4f11339b74cb4f340ec14b95e9.jpg semi transparent bikini]]'', though the editorial shot that one down.
* Also in the ComicBook/New52, the first issue of the ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}'' solo title was criticised for opening with an action scene that spent two full pages on close-up images of different parts of Selina's anatomy before bothering to show her face.
* Averted in one issue of ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' where ComicBook/WonderWoman is interrogating a prisoner about who tried to kill Ray Palmer's wife. The prisoner is said to be smart because he's focusing on Wonder Woman's lasso, not her cleavage. Diana in general [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQZMllYYGgvqxoEjrkrLMQdSlmN19RChYHGNA&usqp=CAU has]] [[https://i.imgur.com/EuqsLaM.png gotten]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSvNTIZf7ZDkTaSEqN5vVNBoMiNJPQms1tlBg&usqp=CAU tons]] [[https://i.imgur.com/L2fdTmg.jpg of]] [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/0/40/4485561-4.jpg this]] over the years, every artist does their best to make her as voluptuous. Hell it goes back to Wonder Woman's earliest appearances where she'd often be BoundAndGagged in questionable positions, her creator William Moulton Marston was a known bondage fetishist.
** Later comics in ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' have toned this down somewhat with Diana due to adopting her more [[AdaptationalModesty modest outfit]] from the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse''. Although even then artists still have put Wondy positions where she’s [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSUUPPNILB6ch86SHk_Q2tCX-D3a7vsMt3eWg&usqp=CAU angled upwards]] to the reader giving them a view right up her [[ShesGotLegs thighs and skirt]].



* Franchise/GreenLantern: Red Lantern Bleez. It's often been pointed out that she's frequently drawn in ways that emphasize her curvaceous rear end (though it's worth noting that this was most prominent when Ed Benes was drawing her).
* ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, especially in the ComicBook/New52 solo series. Special mention to Issue 13 where she use [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/un7mG5BZ0o7NouAxPITbruvDF5LMr4Xoo22QuSWeFYZ1VOfSxExUDgzYwkQdZfwxgOPkv16xM7NJ=s0 this]] to distract a mugger and a scene in Issue 26 that has Harley and a leering guy with a metal detector who makes an unwelcome comment about her butt as she walks by.
* Smasher, a minor heroine from ''ComicBook/JonathanHickmansAvengers'' got massive display of this in [[https://retconpunchdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/obviously-the-only-solution-to-this-is-a-threesome.jpg one panel]] where her buttocks are ludicrously enlarged.
* ''ComicBook/SatansHollow'': Sandra is rather easy on the eyes, with panels often surreptitiously focusing on her figure.
* ''ComicBook/UltimateWolverine'': When she first shows up, we can see [[spoiler:Magda]]'s back up close.
* Marvel took a lot of criticism for a 2014 cover image of ComicBook/SpiderWoman drawn by Italian erotica artist Milo Manara which showed her with somewhat oversized buttocks in an odd squatting position. Marvel later apologized for it.
* DC took even worse criticism for the leaked, unfinalized cover of Tom King’s ''ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis'' #7 by artist Clay Mann which depicting a dying ComicBook/PoisonIvy in a [[https://i0.wp.com/thefanboyseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/IMG_20181218_021047.jpg?fit=593%2C437 sexual manner]]. As fans on Twitter noted, it's bad enough killing off a beloved character (or threatening to at least) but the fact that ''in even death'' Ivy isn’t free from the MaleGaze is undignified and insulting. DC acknowledged this and the cover wasn't used nor has Ivy been killed off.
** ''Heroes in Crisis'' in general is rife with this as the artwork is more focused on curvaceous physiques of the female characters, regardless of how jarring it is with the tone of the scene. For example, during [[ComicBook/Batgirl2011 Batgirl]]’s confession she shows off the bullet wound ComicBook/TheJoker gave when [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke he shot her through the abdomen]]. It’s supposed a disturbing scene but the art seems more interested in Babs’s [[https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/shot.jpg#main breasts, crotch and butt]] than her traumatic injury.

** Creator/JimLee as an iconic artist as he is, still employs this trope regularly in regards to the voluptuous poses of Marvel, DC and Image female characters.



** Mike Dedato while undeniably a fantastic artist and penciler, is still [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRWOkFOuiyUJxMi9fm4nrrILJyb52pxSSwuqg&usqp=CAU guilty of this trope]] when it comes to drawing Marvel’s super women. It’s easily quite noticeable in ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers, ComicBook/SecretAvengers'' and ''ComicBook/FearItself'' where even ''ComicBook/SquirrelGirl'' is ridiculously curvaceous.



* ComicBook/SheHulk got this a lot of through the years especially during her fourth wall breaking days in the 80s. However it can be inappropriate at times e.g ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' where an [[http://i.imgur.com/TkggryU.jpg entire panel is focused on She Hulk’s fine buttocks]]. This normally wouldn’t be a big issue, but the scene in question is a serious discussion about superhero ethics, ''not a peep show'', therefore the {{fanservice}} is unnecessary as well as artistically off-tone.

* For generations, even after the Comics Code, there have been a lot of fanservice-y drawings of the teenage Betty and Veronica, their friends, Katy Keene, and other women in ''Franchise/ArchieComics''. There have been a lot of jokes using the gaze whenever Archie is gazing at pretty girls and commenting on their figures while another friend is waxing lyrically about nature or math. [[http://i.imgur.com/LcN4iOB.jpg Cheryl Blossom's]] second appearance. Of course, Jughead couldn't care less.
