Hi IronSkeleton. Your figures have a good sense of weight to them, they feel like they're actually standing on solid ground and they look convincingly three dimensional. I don't think you're doing anything wrong, you just need to build up a better understanding of anatomy and posing.
I would recommend starting with lots of studies from photos and observation in real life and to read up on gesture drawing if you don't already know how it works. Try and do some very quick studies (1 minute or even 30 seconds - 10+ drawings one after the other), some slightly longer ones (5 minutes) and longer again (10-15 minutes). When working from photos try to use a mix of subjects that match your final goal (maybe stills or promo images from super hero or martial arts films going by what you've already posted?) and figures at rest or in motion from other sources (sports, fashion, dancing etc).
Apply the same idea to your drawings from imagination. Again: 1 minute very quick drawings, some 5 minutes, some 10-15 minutes.
You can learn more from doing lots of quick studies than spending lots of time on one figure and once you've gone through a few sessions of drawing like this you can step back, take stock and see what's working for you and what you feel you need to concentrate on to improve.
Hope these suggestions help, keep at it!
