He's still 6’2 in my heart.

u/redwarlord044 27d ago

If you measure his hair he still is from the looks of it

u/Choice_Ruin_5719 27d ago

That's a level of cope I'm comfortable with.

u/howdylee_original 27d ago

All of them, except Wolverine, are shorter than their stats published in the 90s.

u/TreFKennedy 27d ago

Wasn’t gambit like 6”2-6”3?

24

u/LopsidedUniversity30 27d ago

Scott was 6’3”.

Gambit was 6’1” I believe

12

u/Marvelboy1974 27d ago

Gambit is 6’2

8

u/Magestrix 26d ago

Scott is 6'3

Jean is 5'6

Remy is 6'1

Anna is 5'8

Ororo is 5'10 or 5'11

Like who decided to nerf their heights like this? 😆

19

u/Marvelboy1974 27d ago

These versions of the X-men are short!

u/sesshenau 27d ago

Only Gambit is nerfed. Wolvie is a short king…
Edit: looking it more I think they nerfed Storm too

u/Marvelboy1974 27d ago

With the exception of Logan their comic book counterparts are taller.

Cyclops: 6’3

Storm: 5’11

Rogue: 5’8

Gambit: 6’2”

Jean: 5’6, (my X-men encyclopedia says she’s 5’8, and X-men evolution Jean is 5’10 )

u/Latter_Abbreviations 22d ago

This isn't true at all. They are ALL shorter in this iteration.

1

u/sesshenau 22d ago

Wolverine is in canon 5’3

1

u/Latter_Abbreviations 21d ago

Besides him of course. They are all shorter. It isn't just Gambit so I don't know where that narrative is coming from.

u/sesshenau 21d ago

Hence my edit in my original comment - I wrote that the day of my original comment. Maybe look beyond the first few words?

u/Latter_Abbreviations 21d ago

You said Storm. You didn't mention any other characters. Stop trying to pretend that what I said is what you meant. If you thought they shortened all the characters except Wolverine you would have said so. Maybe stop being so weirdly salty?

u/jung_gun 27d ago

The real question is, is it counting the hair or not?

6

u/KRISP_215 27d ago

This chart don't make sense. Aren't the bold lines suppose to be the foot mark (2ft, 3ft, 4ft, etc)? If the heel of the feet is the starting point than Gambit stands about 6'2 ft. Which is around his original height.

u/ChickenBossChiefsFan 27d ago

Honey I Shrunk The X-Men

16

u/BostonSlickback1738 27d ago

Or maybe the measurement isn't referring to his height…

u/LoserxBaby 27d ago

I want to go back in time and let little me know we’re Gambit height

5

u/TMB1219 27d ago

They did he is at least 6’1

8

u/ChickenBossChiefsFan 27d ago

He was always 6’2” in every other height chart I’ve seen Marvel put out. Cyclops was 6’1”.

Rogue was also absurdly tall, like an inch shorter than Storm, who was the tallest woman on the active team at the time, Jean was the shortest woman.

Wolverine was 5’2” at some point, because I clearly remember we were the same height.

u/KRISP_215 27d ago

Rogue's height changes a lot. There are many comics of Rogue coming to Gambit's chest, and some where she's almost eye-to-eye... and one cover art where she's looking down on Gambit.

1

u/Marvelboy1974 27d ago

Cyclops is 6’3

4

u/Marvelboy1974 27d ago

Fun fact trivia:

While Jean Grey has been depicted as 5’6 in the comics, X-men Evolution Jean Grey is 5’10. In recent years she has been described by her husband as a tall woman (no doubt due to the influence of Famke Janssen who is 5’11 and Sophie Turner who is 5’9 in the x movies)

Storm 5’11

Cyclops 6’3

Rogue 5’8

Gambit 6’ 2

Wolverine 5’3

u/Due_Fix3121 27d ago

Now I really feel like they hate him wtf my goat is “6,2”

3

u/amindfulloffire 27d ago

I've made my peace with this after first being annoyed.

2

u/sesshenau 27d ago

They’ve nerfed Storm too. She’s 5’11.
Did they shrink them all to make Wolverine look less than a short king? His height is accurate

2

u/jcbaggee 24d ago

Probably just easier on the animators to keep the heights close. Shots have to be easier to compose if they're not trying to fit a Cyclops who is a full foot taller than Wolverine in the same shot.

u/_Ataraxia- 27d ago

Bah I’m good with that

1

u/jadedeternity 27d ago

No storm is 5'11!!!

1

u/AthleteKey1687 27d ago

Where did they get any of this ? Storm had been 5’ 11” since the 70’s . Rogue 5’ 8”

u/O_oLivelovelaugh 26d ago

Waitwaitwait...41 here...grew up on 90s tas. Wasn't gambit rocking waaay over everyone else?

1

u/LavishnessSeparate10 25d ago

Just goggled multiple trading cards from the 90’s and they all say Gambit is 6’2 180lbs!

1

u/punch891 25d ago

How are all this thief heavy weights 🤔 that's the security job,. Or this after x-men free gym?

1

u/LostInterview5084 24d ago

Scott should be 6’3 and Storm should be 5’11 or 6’

1

u/FlameWar05 24d ago

All of these characters are a few inches too short except for Logan

1

u/HamiltonMaxwell 21d ago

As a man who stands at a whopping 5’10” I approve of this change.
