1. Guys still like to look at muscles.

Remember that one of the strongest storylines in comics is the 'average guy' who is somehow magically handed enormous power. When you're a teenager, the world controls you, you don't control it. And actually going to the gym and working out all the time is a lot more effort than most people are willing to put in, so you want to imagine yourself in the place of the superhero. Get bitten by a spider, find a magic ring, be given a 'super serum', and wham, you're the muscly guy who isn't the one being bullied by jerks. Most women I've known enjoy looking at a well-built guy, but not so much at the completely musclebound Mr Olympia types.
