Do superheroes get fat?

Well, do they? I mean, X Men have their trainings in the Danger Room & Avengers can do their trainings in the mansions. But for the other 'SOLO' heroes, are all those actions enough for their healthy bodies?  I mean, you never see Joker or Magneto exercises their muscles in a gym. Do you? Superman too, rarely exercise but you see him in good  health. Does his power prevent him from becoming fat or at least to loose some of his abs?! Same goes to Green Lantern, Martian Man-hunter, Galactus, etc... 
But from all the Superheroes, Flash was the first subject to FATNESS! (Except for the Blob, that is his power, right?)  
                    
Well, we rarely see them heroes to eat, but you know they do. But always keeping themselves in shape? All the Supeheroes? Possible, but improbable. I mean, Bodybuilders must constantly keep on exercising if they plan to keep their body in perfection, but Superman?! Or Wolverine? Does his healing power help him to maintain his physique?  
One of my theories is this. When they use their power, they waste energy, enough energy to let them not be fat, the not-empowered heroes are usually active. But still, they can't be in perfect shape like the body-builders. Can they?

If it was due to their power, then everyone would love to be a superhero, wouldn't they? But we have to agree that if thy made a comic with a group of fats, it would prove that great, would it?
