If I use standard "heroic" proportions for Guardian @ 9 heads high as a measure, how many heads are Sasquatch and Box drawn at, respectively? Thanks in advance for your reply.

I Guardian 9 heads? I didn't really think about it. Mac is about 6'2", while
Sasquatch I think was 9' and Box would be about 8'.

Do (did) you use "heads" for proportion, JB?

9 heads is the "heroic" proportions?
I thought that the usual proportion por human bodies was 7,5 or 7 heads. Am I wrong? Or is it that for super heroes they use a different proportion?

Thanks, but we don't have any readymade feet and inches in our heads
and it would take some time to get used to. We divide by 1, ,10 100
(dm, m,cm) and 1000 (mm) and if we can't divide by 10, we sort of give
up, at least I do.

I know how metric works, Lars. But, even without a "translation", surely you
can get a sense of what 6'2" means, if it is stated to be the height of a
superhero. Not likely to figure that means he's 103cm, right?

Yes, JB, but I you illustrated it perfectly there, I can not sense more
than tall and "a little shorter" right now, which would be 6" and 5".
Let's say that you're going to adjust the volume on an incoming signal
and all the measurement on the equipment is alble to say is "now I hear
it", "now I don't hear it.". What is fun, on all the moon missions, you
only used the metre system.

I'd say we do get a bit of a gist at any rate, JB.
That said, for Lars and any other non-inch/foot measuring people, there's always this site to help us all out:

In Kinesiology lab, we convert quite often to metric measurements. To get a sense of height, multiply total inches times .0254 to get meters. So, 6'2" is 74 inches, times .0254 gets 1.88 meters.
