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...

I always thought of Grace Jones as Storm in the flesh growing up, then years later Angela Bassett. Definitely when Paul Smith or Marc Silverstri were drawing Storm she looked completely model-esque.

I hope there's a new Black Widow figure in the works based off the Chris Samnee design
