Take even your biggest bodybuilder woman and they dwarf a male one. Sure you have your exceptions like the ones you listed (I didnt know all female super heros had a exact height) Im just saying if youre sticking to a scale adding female characters to it that dont fit wont make it look odd simply cause you assume she should be smaller anyway.
Again, not nessisarily. Unless you happen to be a hulking giant of a man in real life (in which case you'd likely dwarf most men), if you look around you women come in all shapes and sizes, just like men. I've known quite a few who're 5'8"-6'3". Hell, at two of my jobs, I used to have women help *me* get things down off high shelves.
And worked with a couple that i we'd ever gotten into a fight, I'd be pretty sure I'd have gotten stomped. (And I'm average height, and don't get intemedated easily).
Musclemass isn't everything. Just because someone is muscular, does not make them big or tall. Wolverine looks pretty damned off when he's taller than She-Hulk. Just like Wonderwoman standing equal with Golden Age Atom is pretty strange.
So to say "cause she's a girl and girl figures should be much smaller than male ones" is folly, and borderline sexist. Or at least not terribly connected with reality.
There's always going to be exceptions to the rule. And in most cases, women stand equal to most men at least.
I prefer to use DCD's Star Sapphire Wonderwoman in my DCUC Green Lantern display because she's larger than most men as a character, and the DCD is appropriate larger than Mattel's figures.
I stress again, my issue isn't with you're feeling Ivy can be smaller. It's the blanket statement which holds no basis in reality or comics.
