You're right, I forgot that Bendis had the Super Adaptiod call Carol fat as well. This definitely has to be a Bendis thing, then.
I don't see Carol as being scrawny, but I don't see her as being overly muscular, in the Ms. Olympia bodybuilding way. I see her as being very healthy with a very shapely, womanly figure. So I think the "thickness" comment was about Carol's curves, not her muscles.
Women like Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian have been called "thick" in reference to their so-called thick (large) backsides. I think this is the meaning that the Wrecker was going for when he made that comment.
Or, in other words, Carol's got back!
