i dont think you can fault reilly brown for that. he said he was using the marvel encyclepedia as the source, if anything blame marvel.

More from Reilly Brown

now that looks like sasquatch.

Mac and Sas both look too tall, as does Marrina. Mac is a scientist, not a basketball player!

Good looking pic, tho.

Sassy is 10 ft tall (so no, he is not too tall here), Marrina is supposed to be 6 ft tall and thus, not too tall here either...Heather is 5'5" so she should be rather short...Mac is 6' 2".

Height of characters according tho the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe:

Northstar 5'11" 185 lbs
Aurura 5'11" 125 lbs
Mac 6'2" 190 lbs
Heather 5'5" 120 lbs
Shaman 5'8"
Puck 3'6" 225 lbs (??)
Snowbird 5'10" 108 lbs
Marrina 6' 200 lbs
Sasquatch 10' 2000 lbs

I think the sketch is fairly accurate.

I agree...Those very same height measures are here at the Alphanex wiki too (and in the original Handbooks too).

Rplass - as with others, I don't like Manbot, but that doesn't stop that being a really cool pic.

I haven't been since Bill P posted the heights. But, if you compare the official heights to Byrne's actual imagery...
Wait, I'm gonna dig that up again. Give me a few minutes...



This is what I'm talking about.
I can't think of anything Alpha related where I don't consider Byrne the definitive, final word.

(I'd like to put the Reilly Brown pic next to these two, but I don't know if that'll get us in trouble? If not, tell me, and I'll edit it in.)

Also, great Sasquatch pic from Reilly Brown - really shows personality.

So, according to Byrne's pic, MArrina is slightly shorter than the twins, and Heather is the same size as the twins. And i still feel that Sas looks too tall in Reilly's pic...altho that may be that i am used to other artist's drawing him smaller than he should be drawn...

I stand corrected on Mac being a tall bugger - he is. Would've liked to see Walter's comparative height in that Byrne pic, tho.

Thanks Mik.

Marrina certainly doesn't look 6 ft there, but with Heather and the twins in the second pic...Keep in mind they are behind her, perhaps by a foot. They may still be taller than her, if they were standing right beside her. Heather does look pretty tall there, if Wolvie is 5'3" and Heather is standing behind him...She looks taller than 5'5" there (more like 5'9" or something?).

LOL...Sasquatch is slouching in the second picture.

Maybe Mac used to play basketball (it was invented by a Canadian, after all)?....LOL!

That's Mac on the right, with his back to us. The hand and the leg are JP.

Thanx. Judging from that pic, although it is hard to tell, I'd put Walter at 6'3" or 6'4"? If Mac is actually 6'2", that is. (I'd also guess JP to be right-handed? lol)

Sigh...I really, really, really miss Byrne's AF artwork. (Insert nasty curse words aimed at JB's hatred of AF here)

A quickly taken photo of the Sas Reilly did for me at NYCC:

And he's just put a Marinna up on his DA;

[Le Messor]

Nice. I like how well he did the Sas under convention conditions - I'm assuming he didn't have a model to draw from?

The handbooks say Walt is 6'4" in his natural human form...So right on, FP.
