Lots of early Super-Heroes were “Pharma-Chemically” enhanced. It caused all kinds of problems when “Better Living Through Chemistry” turnede out to be NOT such a good idea.
That said, Chemical enhancement CAN be effective (Lance Armstrong, anyone?) but the costs later are too uncertain to allow for reasonable calculation. Individuals are just TOO different from each other. Someday, maybe, we’ll be able to tell ahead of time what will happen ‘later’ as a result of ‘Augmenting’ today. But not if current mores declare such research “Verboten!”
Underdog would like a word with you, after taking his Super Energy Pill. Also his canine pal Scooby-Doo after he whacks out on Scooby Snacks. But Captain America strung out on his “Super Soldier Serum” will outrace them. You’re only familiar with the re-booted Blue Beetle by DC Comics who acquired rights, the original Fox Comics’ had pharmacist for a pal and took “Vitamin 2X” to get his powers.
Testosterone-analog drugs like anabolic steroids or Captain Ameria’s serum alter the body. Definitely they are drugs. I’m not taking any drugs, by the way.

Sue, go as yourself. Maybe wear a nice, summer A-line dress that stops just above the knees. Go for classy, not trashy.

They used to be more prominent. She’s one of the original characters, and her role has changed subtly as others joined the cast.

The gag, of course, had nothing to do with drugs…

No, the word “drugs” does not include internally produced hormones and neurotransmitters.
