What in your opinion is the IDEAL height for a female super hero?
To add more info to that question. What the ideal height for one with super powers and the height for one that does not have any super powers?
5'8"-6'1" I know a girl who's 5'8" that has a muscular physique and great curves. I've called her Wonder Woman since 8th grade.
This reminds me of Big Barda in Superman/Batman Apocalypse
I don't think superpowers affects the height at all.
@hart7668: 7 feet even.
Where you get that number from? Is that the official number?
@gwhh: It's what ComicVine lists her as.
@sheenlantern: Official DC comics guide says big Brenda is 6 2
@gwhh: Not possible, she towers over the 6'3 Superman.

5 foot 5 - 5 foot 11.
5'9-5'10

Wah? She was that size and that shape since Grade Eight? (I know what you meant, lol -- I just couldn't resist).
*****************
Height should commensurate with a character's powerset -- it makes sense She-Hulk would be extremely tall just as it makes sense X-23 wouldn't be all that tall considering she is a clone of Wolverine (who should be shorter than most male characters).
Rogue was presented as tall as was Storm -- pretty powerful and Kitty shorter (same with Illyana) but that had more to do with the characters wanting to come across as the young teenagers they were when they were first presented. They just kept the same height (more or less) because why not?
What I did enjoy was seeing Sif portrayed as super tall as compared to normal human women which makes complete sense considering she is an Asgardian (along the same lines as Thor) and other Asgardian women.
Height is subjective but since this is a visual medium (half at least) then it's not so much what an ideal height is in terms of what's attractive but more in line with the character's powers.
