I only bring up 'models' because in my experience with X-books they often alluded to Storm having the look and grace of a model (FYI that's not my ideal for her, but what was suggested in stories). However that wasn't my point, my point was that the 'official' heights of female heroes aren't as uniform as you implied...more quick stats:Sabra 5'11" - 240, Sersi 5'9" - 140lbs, Sif: 6'2 - 425lbs...

And yeah, I know you are fine with redos. I was messing with you considering that it was just a few weeks ago that you were advocating for them (X-wave?), while others were saying they didn't see the need...if that wasn't you, forgive my 'playful' ribbing. If it was you, I'm fun'in ya', man!

Either way, whichever Thor you like is fine...

Yeah, that was me

I admit I was giving a very generalized statement, but there's a number of times where the official height/weight have just been very "off" to me, especially with the female characters. For instance, Gert Yorkes is supposed to be 5'1" and 125 lbs, and that's supposed to be overweight - yet I've had a number of female friends in the same height/weight zone, and that's only "overweight" if you go by the BMI, which has been in serious need of revision. Or Marrow, who's only 130 lbs at 5'8"... despite having another third-to-half of a skeleton on her.

I know comics are fiction and a lot of measurements are idealized, but there's a few times where they could use a bit more research.
