AAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH this and the new 3ds I'm going to be broke by march! But i need it! 
Relevant to the female superheros in high heels, I have a question. I have at least two relatives who specifically change into high heels in order to dance, often quite energetically. I get the strong impression that this is not for aesthetics, that the high heels make it easier to dance. Is this plausible, and how does it relate to the difficulty of running in high heels mentioned above?
What kind of heels do they wear? For that matter, what kinds of dancing do they do?
I can't speak for them and don't have dancing experience, but I can't run in heels. It's much more difficult to balance, you can't flex your foot in the same way to push off from the ground, your calf muscles can't move as freely and are therefore less efficient, your ankle muscles are constantly readjusting to keep you upright.
Most of all though it's painful. Much more of your body weight is on the balls of your feet than usual, rather than being evenly distributed over the heel, ball and outer arch. As far as the balls of your feet are concerned, you're putting twice as much pressure on them as you do naturally. This is why women who wear heels when they go out often buy those gel pads for their shoes and still end up taking the shoes off before the end of the night and swapping to a pair of soft flats they keep in their bag, or even going barefoot.
There are treatments you can get nowadays where fillers are injected into the balls of your feet every few months to cushion them, like semi-permanent gel pads. No one would do that if heels didn't hurt.
Ever seen a track athlete competing in heels? Nope, me neither.
The Spite's would make more sense to me if they had clothes like Exemplar which looks like clothes that were tattered together from what was available. Only Grudge's clothes make sense to me.
It really depends on your heels and of course, training. Dancing or running in block heels, for instance, is no biggie, provided they are closed and not a silly sling/open toed deal. While running, you lean forward anyway, so the block actually helps you push off with the ball of your foot. As for dancing, I can't really tell you why, but heels change the way you balance your body, and ballroom, tap etc, actually becomes easier in heels than in flats (Tap dancing in flats is pretty much impossible, actually).
Pointy heels are a different matter, but it is entirely possible to run with them, and run fast at that. Where I live, there is a race at the Pride festival each year, where the contestants run in spikey heels (most of them are dudes), and I have never actually seen someone fall. The actual heel doesn't have contact to the ground when they run anyway, so with a pair of shoes you are comfortable in and some practice, you can run as fast in heels as in sneakers.
So yeah, if you want impossible, try running in flip-flops. Now that is a nightmare! 
A few more comments about body types. There is a big difference between "fat" and "thick". Just because people have a thicker build they are not necessarily fat. Again I would say go look at camille leblanc-bazinet. She won the 2014 crossfit games and I can assure you she is not fat, but she is not skinny either. Can you eat a lot of food and be heavy set and still athletic? Sure. Can you drink beer have a gut and still be athletic? Sure. Will you be able to do what needs to be done to save the world? Probably not. We are talking about superheroes after all. Not just people that are in the top 25% or even in the top 10%. These are the elite of the elite.
As for running in high heels, sorry those will not help you. If you are a heel strike runner the high heel will break off straight away. If you are a good form runner you won't be able to use your calf in your running motion. There is a reason we race in "flats". The current distance racing shoe has about a 5mm-9mm heel rise. The sprinting shoes are dead flat.
Why aren't Olympic athletes wearing them then?
I don't doubt that some people can run short distances in heel relatively well, but no-one runs "real" non-novelty races in heels, so the "just as fast" bit doesn't make any sense.
Wearing heels occasionally probably isn't a problem. But wearing them for a physical superhero "job" seems like a very silly idea to me.
Re. heels, my personal impression is that part of the reason why people wear them for some types of dancing is that they have a certain effect on one's posture that many find pleasing. Personally, that's the only reason why I ever wear them for anything. Of course, posture is situational: good posture for one purpose is bad posture for another. I've practised aikido for 13 years and I'd never wear heels for a fight (not that I'd be looking for one; the best defence is running away, which heels also hinder!).
I'm sure you're joking, but just for the sake of being clear, you don't speak for me either. 
Actually, the argument "these are superheroes" kind of throws the concept of athleticism out the window wholesale. Consider that muscle and tendons can only do so much, super-human strength has nothing to do with muscle mass. neither does superhuman speed, metabolism, agility, flight, energy creation, etc. etc. Why couldn't someone weighing 400lbs and looking like Gabriel Iglesias run 700 MPH and bench press a tank? (actually, that would be pretty awesome) If you say "they're not fit" I would point out that decatheletes can't leap over buildings and fire laser beams out of their ears, obviously something else is going on here.
I can see the argument for Wraith, Fixer, Expat, i.e. the more high tech or costumed crimefighter heroes. but for the characters whose powers surpass anything "human" (legacy, Captain Cosmic, AA, Tempest, SkyScraper, Spite.) why would they have to be fit.
EDIT: not to pick on Mr. Iglesias, just the first name that came to mind.
I've seen a woman in stilettos doing the treadmill at a gym. Does that count?
Wow, this thread's over a thousand posts now...I don't recall seeing any other thread here get that big :O.
Anyway, I agree on the "boobs are getting too big" thing. I'm not a fan of the whole "all women have tiny waists and huge tits and wear hardly any clothing even if they're heading off to storm a castle" thing, and I'm a bit disappointed that it looks as though the Sentinels art is heading in that direction too :(.
Also, I join MigrantP and Estelindis in not being referred to by Tegre - I'm not even interested in superheroes, really. I just play Sentinels because it's co-operative and highly replayable due to the randomness factor ;).
I believe the standard comic book reasoning is that these people are involved in saving the world, and every edge they can get counts. Even with a beer gut, Legacy would be super-strong and super-tough, but a trim and fit Legacy would be stronger and tougher (even if the effect isn't nearly as dramatic as it would be for a regular flatscan human).
So, take that as you will.
Nope.
How was that even allowed by the gym? I'd be worried she'd do damage to the running surface, let alone herself.
Add me to that list. I can express my opinion just fine by myself, and I'm absolutely not playing SotM because the characters remind me of existing superheroes. Like Ameena, I don't even like superheroes or comic books.

Hey, I was not claiming that spikey heels are reasonable footwear for running. I only said, it can be done with practice, and it can be done in a way that you are not actually any slower then you'd be normally. I know for a fact that I can hit my top speed in boots with a 3 inch block heel, because I have done that (LARPs make you do crazy stuff). The reason they are not worn in the Olympics are probably A: They would in all likelyhood not be legal footwear B: If you fell, you'd fall much worse and C: They will have negative effects on your body in the long run (which really flat shoes do too).
But let me assure you that my personal superhero costume does not involve heels, bathing suits, strapless tops or random areas of exposed skin.
I hope Adam never changes the way he draws his art for anyone other than himself. He's his own artist. There's been many forms of art throughout history that portray things in an unrealistic manner, yet Comic Book art seems to be one that everyone is okay getting up in arms about.
Would you go to a surrealist art gallery and complain to the owner that none of the pieces made sense?
Of course Adam has the right to his own artistic integrity. It's just that, apart from the few things I mentioned (cough straps cough), I thought that, from the start, his art stood out for not being the pandering kind, compared to other comic-style art that I've seen. Sure, the SotM heroes are in great shape, but they generally don't come across as objectified or intended to titillate, and I think that's good.
