In the sense that, his strength and stature are probably not genetically heritable as they aren’t encoded into his genes (although I don’t know my Marvel lore).

- turnsout 3y agoRight but in non-fictional humans, strength and stature are indeed encoded into genes.
- tomjakubowski 3y agomore like baseline and maximum possible (natural) strength are encoded in genes. and even that is still subject to environmental factors (diet growing up, etc)
- reaperman 3y agoI mean, a purposefully limited partial analysis can support this argument applied to Captain America actor Chris Evans as well. He has a good degree of natural sexiness, but also a large amount of his sex-appeal is from steroid use. So it's not heritable. However, a more detailed analysis might be used to argue that in a world where steroids are highly available, Chris Evan's genetics facilitate/complement the use of that available resource better than other genetics. But the steroid use could also be considered a "Supernormal stimulus"[0], which hijacks/cheats sexual selection criteria with specially tailored artificial stimuli. Relevant would be instagram filters, steroids, plastic surgery, makeup, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernormal_stimulus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernormal_stimulus
