This is a question I've been thinking about for some time. I knew she wouldn't be that tall anyway since she's a clone of Wolverine and everyone knows that he's not the tallest guy in the marvel universe (Not by a long shot). But what if X-23 was taller would she really be that much more intimdating? If she was even a couple of inches taller would people be more scared of her before she popped the claws out. Even if she were 5'6 maybe. If she was freakishly tall (So tall that she had to duck under door frames) would bad guys wet themselves and automatically run before even considering fighting her? I know X-23 herself would find advantages in being taller (Greater reach and so on). Or would being taller hamper her abilities? i don't really know, so what are your views on the matter.
X-23
Character » X-23 appears in 2383 issues.
X-23 is a product of the Weapon X program, born from a damaged sample of Wolverine's DNA. She has recently aged up, being saved from the Vault.
Would X-23 be more intimidating if she were taller?
Nah. I think her lack of height and her petite build only make her more intimidating because her looks and deadliness starkly contrast. I think it's the same with Wolverine; being short just makes him all the more badass.

- It's much worse to the supervillain ego when a kid who might be 100 pounds soaking wet beats you like a drum

Very well put.
I agree.If anything, her small stature is an advantage because it makes her opponents underestimate her.
Of course, if she was taller, stronger looking or (and not to sound sexist) a man than yea she would be. X-23 looks as intimidating as a Victoria secret model.
she doesnt need height,muscles, creepy costume to intimidate,her work does it for her. if the heroes/x-men find it hard to live or work with a made killer how do you think the enemies feel?
I don't really see why she'd be more intimidating if she were taller....
She can be pretty damn intimidating as is haha.
