It's not uncommon to include traps under the umbrella of shoulders as they are usually worked together with delts.

What in the world are you talking about?
The muscles of the SHOULDERS are the DELTS (deltoids).
If you're going to try and make a point about whether the suit has padding or not, you should use a real picture and not a photoshop of a photoshop.
Padding the suit allows them to allows them to film the actor looking built at every point. Those pictures of that model are pictures of the guy in a posed position. It's not going to show when he running around and what not.
As to being able to put on the MOS suit and look built. Well if your similar in size to Cavil sorta.
Maguire Spider-man figured this out. They used a muscle suit and and airbrushing. Routh's suit had padding but it wasn't really built around his muscles. nor did it enhance it. It's kinda odd seeing as the BTS played around with padding that really came through.
Yes. Heres my theory.
Purists consult the comics as ultimate authority. They note the bright blue and red in the costume (not to mention the fine smoothness of the fabric) and conclude that this must be the model for a live-action recreation. Yet when this is done, theres something distinctly unimpressive about the result - between media, something is lost in translation (just review the examples posted in the last couple of pages). What happened?
Well look again at a typical comic book image of Supes. Theres actually a fair amount of black augmenting the blue and red. Of course, we dont read this as the color black - we correctly interpret the dark ink as the shadows and shading that define muscle contours, fabric folds, etc. But I maintain that this black has a cumulative perceptual effect. It tends to subdue the blue and red (which would be overwhelmingly bright/gaudy otherwise) and it adds valuable texture and visual interest/realism to the image. So far, so good.
Except when a costume designer tries for a reasonable facsimile, there isnt (obviously) any black on the fabrics chosen; theyre pure blue and red - because thats what the comics seem to specify. And the unsatisfactory result is a bright, flat, washed-out effect - even when the actor has a Mr. Universe physique. (As you note, you can partially address this by lighting Supes in a harsh, shadowy film noir style. But Superman isnt Batman; he often appears in broad daylight.)
The solution, imo, is interpretation and not imitation. This would include darkening the colors (to compensate for the lack of black). It also makes sense, I think, to add fabric texture to (re)create the aforementioned visual interest (which is non-existent with a plain/smooth leotard).
And note that MOS has done these very things.
A always love it when you pull that one out of your back pocket.
You guys are never happy
Constant whining. The sun in his back obviously doesnt help the brightness of the suit.
That'll be enough of that common sense, mister! Stop it....just STOP IT!
...Cape attachment should be bigger.
People do realise that the front of the suit is heavy shadowed in the latest picture?
Suit's too dark. Cape attachment should be bigger.
I got a little bored today and figured I'd photoshop something, I came across this picture and thought I'd see what Cavill looked like in the classic suit.
Of course they dont.
