I have had a love affair with comic book art since I was old enough to read and buy one of them (10¢ at the time, I recall). So I wanted to create a generic superhero, but wanted him physically fit but not on 'roids like Superman and other comic book heroes are drawn today. I thought Ryan Reynolds was superb as the Green Lantern because he was physically fit and a good specimen of humans, but not bulging at the seams.
Give kids someone they can dream of becoming like, without the over-the-top physique.
My Best,
Gary
