According to the calculated BMi index levels of over 3,752 characters
from the Marvel Comics universe ....

| Marvel Universe Heroes |
...... not one is medically fit .... apart from Iron Man who is wearing an armoured suit
The male
characters, such as Thor and Captain America are all classed as obese.
This is because they have such exaggerated bodily features, such as wide
shoulders and muscles.

However the female characters would all be classed as too thin, largely because they are invariably wasp waisted and large breasted.

But this
shouldn't come as much as a surprise ..... The BMI is calculated by your
weight in kilo grams divided by the square of your height in metres, and is
a way of measuring body size. A BMI of less than 20 and you are
underweight. Between 20 and 25 is normal; 25 to 30 is overweight. Break
the magic 30 figure and you are officially obese, along with 20 per cent
of women and 17 per cent of men in Britain.
Then again, the BMI is actually vey poor, when it comes to measuring people with a lot
of muscle, because muscle weighs more than fat.

| Linford Christie - Bad BMI? |
Linford Christie, along with Jonah Lomu and Mike Tyson, would all be classed as obese using BMI when at their physical peak. They would be joined by large numbers of other athletes.
.... and that's my excuse as well.
