Could someone as big as Juggernaut exist?

I don't mean mean with his powers, so no super strength, super durability, or super healing factor, no magic powers either.

I just mean a guy who's 9'5" (287 cm), and 1900 lbs (862 kg) with a bodybuilder like build, super thick bones, relatively long arms, ultra wide shoulders etc...even if it took genetic modification to be that big.

Basically could a biological mammalian organism exist that large?

Or would it be the unrealism like Godzilla where the flesh would literally fall off the bones, and the bones would simply fall apart?

Imagine the absolute Loaves that dude must shit out

If he was a mutant. Sure

Juggernaut isn't a mutant.

Their heart would explode by the age of 25.

>Or would it be the unrealism like Godzilla where the flesh would literally fall off the bones, and the bones would simply fall apart?
Goji doesn't have tough flesh and bones?

Gigantism might create something like that. You seen Robert Wadlow? Dude was pushing 3 meters straight up.

Maybe? The tallest man who ever lived was 8'11" and he was still growing when he died. He was generally pretty fit but apparently he started having some serious health problems in his final year and he only lived to 22. Though it should be mentioned he died because of an infection not because his heart gave out or anything.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wadlow

The tallest human ever was 8'11", and he had a smorgasbord of health issues because of it at the age of 22. I think he had to use a cane before he was 18.

I imagine being that big is impossible.

>Basically could a biological mammalian organism exist that large?
Sure!

When you're talking about transhumanism, all bets are off because it necessarily includes the possibility of altering the material conditions of the body that make certain forms untenable.

Elephants? Whales?

Only if the rest of the body can't support the growth

I mean, i know its science but they try to apply our same rules to somethung that doesn't exist, maybe it could exist and it existing would lead sciente to rethink our understanding of human anatomy

Heart would probably fail before he reached adulthood.

Robert Wadlow's the tallest human at 8 foot and change.

He lasted 22 years.

So if your theoretical 9'5" 1900lb man has freakish genetics built into him on top of god knows why what else yes he could exist.

He'd probably be in constant pain and couldn't enter most cars, homes or commercial structures either.

A bipedal mammal that large would likely have trouble walking upright without breaking its knees, but it would be possible nonetheless.

>unrealism like Godzilla

I feel like I've read this example you're trying to give but it isn't Godzilla. It's another monster or that example from the GITS manga where Batou explains why a normal human can't be stronger than their cybernetic implant.

There are certainly mammals that can reach that size, current and extant.

Elephants are good comparison but whales aren't. Living in the oceans allows them to grow to sizes that just wouldn't be possible on land.

>I just mean a guy who's 9'5" (287 cm), and 1900 lbs (862 kg) with a bodybuilder like build, super thick bones, relatively long arms, ultra wide shoulders etc...even if it took genetic modification to be that big.

Sure, why not. We've had bigger bipeds on the planet.

>Their heart would explode by the age of 25.

The OP specified that genetic modification is fine, which means we can give him a rhinoceros heart or something.

>Or would it be the unrealism like Godzilla where the flesh would literally fall off the bones, and the bones would simply fall apart?
No, 9'5" doesn't even approach the limits of biology. This is fine.

Tallest human that ever lived who didn't suffer from gigantism was this guy right here:

He was 7'9" and could allegedly lift anchors.

the smallest baby was just born

Giant ground sloth did okay. Granted, it didn't move at any speed (it was a sloth, after all) but it did move on two legs and with more weight.

We are bipedal apes, though. We can't really become giants like that without altering everything, including the way we walk.

>The OP specified that genetic modification is fine, which means we can give him a rhinoceros heart or something.
We can also do things like make his muscle tendons out of ultra-strong materials like spider-silk.

>When you're talking about transhumanism, all bets are off because it necessarily includes the possibility of altering the material conditions of the body that make certain forms untenable.
Exactly. We don't have to rely on the strength of normal human bones if we can figure out how the larger theropods (for example) managed to bear all that weight on their two limbs and then engineer our Space Marine from that knowledge.

And yeah, let's go ahead and shift the discussion to Space Marines, because that's what we're really talking about here. Juggernaut is magic, so any sci-fi logic is entirely moot.

This guy's gotta be Bigfoot. They're all extinct now, but early man ran into him once or twice and the myth stuck.

He could absolutely exist with that height weight and proportions.

This is entirely assuming his heart and central nervous system is engineered to match his size, same with tendons, joint cushioning cartilage and so on. As it it land animals have FAR exceeded that size, including bipeds.
His relatively short legs also make sense for the design as they are better for bearing weight .

He would not be very athletic however. The super broad shoulders would make him top heavy, and it would be as dangerous for him to fall as say, a large horse. He might be able to make short burst of speed, even elephants can, but he would in general move very slow.

One very obvious impracticality would be the sheer amount of FOOD it takes for him. With a human brain his caloric expenditure would be huge. He would need to eat all the time, and only the most calorie dense foods. He would be eating constantly as caloric need does not go up in a 1 to 1 ratio with body weight. It goes up exponentially more.

How strong would he be? Probably wouldn't exceed the strength of an elephant. Much of his strength would have to be used just to move himself around. He might struggle to press even his own bodyweight overhead.

give them a bunch of hearts strategically placed inside their big ass torso

why

He's applying current human physical limitations, and ignoring the fact many animals have far exceeded the size of the Juggernaut from DP2. Current human heart cannot support even a quarter of that weight...buuuut, genetically modified heart that functions more like Rhino's or whatever inside of his obviously massive rib cage would do just fine.

Space marines don't even need to be that big. There are already humans getting close to that size. The only genetic mods they would need are more efficient hearts and to gain that kind of muscle without steroids, and the general height of 7ft

I guess you would just say the Gem of Cyttorak gives him that body.

He would be named Angus.

There's no proof he didn't have gigantism

Colossus is actually about the right height and weight for a Space Marine.

He's 7'5" and 500 pounds. Which, always seemed off, given he's built like a 7'5" bodybuilder would be at 500 pounds... IF he was Flesh.

Being made of a metal more dense than Osmium would make him more like 2 or 3 metric tons.

Unless he actually has the same body weight a flesh human of his proportions would weigh, and instead his cells are just imitating only "some" of the properties of osmium.

Basically the bigger the body gets, the more pressure it takes to pump blood through all of it.
Kind of like when you connect 5 silly straws together and try to drink out of it.

That's true, and the human heart in it's current form cannot handle the pressure of much more than 400 pounds of lean body mass. With genetic modification a person could have a heart with the upper limits of what a land biped is able to have, and that potential vastly exceeds 1900 pounds. So it would be possible to genetically engineer a heart that handles well over that being so many animals have hearts that already do.

Sure but he would need a stronger heart

In fairness Wadlow died because doctors fucked up a blood transfusion, not because his own body fucked up

he's magic so yes

Reading comprehension. Not even once.

Negasonic was cute, even though she was a thespian

Eventually they'd have to move to the water, like mah nigga Baldanders was headed before Severian got in his ass.

i think dinosaurs were only able to get as large as they did because the air contained 50 percent more oxygen than now.

also, found this while looking up oxygen toxicity:
>Pulmonary toxicity occurs only with exposure to partial pressures of oxygen greater than 0.5 bar (50 kPa), corresponding to an oxygen fraction of 50% at normal atmospheric pressure.

this means that humans can theoretically utilize oxygen levels 150% higher than ours, which is 75% higher than what dinosaurs used to breathe. with greater oxygen supply, that could fix some of the pulmonary and joint issues.

...waitaminute, i'm being silly. the terror bird and short faced bear existed alongside humans and i don't think their oxygen levels were higher than they are now. also, moose are about as tall as juggernaut, although they tend to be fairly lanky.

It's not so much limb thickness, as Moose get just as heavy. Then there are elephants and they seem to do ok at 3-4x as heavy as 1900 lbs...

In awe of the size of this lad, absolute unit

That guy who plays The Mountain in Game of Thrones is probably the closest actual human I've seen.

At 9'5", you kind of are approaching biology limits for a biped. Pretty sure elephants only get a pass for being quadruped. Laden with what looks like nearly one ton of muscle on the frame to get a full Juggernaut physique... it's not hard to see someone crushing their spine and organs under their own weight.

Except T.Rex was 16ft at the him. Although they did hold their spine more horizontal. There was also the giant sloth, and an extinct kangaroo, both which grew well over a 2200 lbs

Juggernaut is a latent mutant in the comics, but not an actual mutant due to inactive x-gene. Movie Juggernaut is a mutant.

No.

They could exist, but their knees would be wrecked and miserable.

Right. That guy, Thor Bjornsson, is a monster. He's even MORE muscular now than he was that last time he was seen shirtless on GOT. 420 pounds with visible abs at 6'9".

That said he also has to do a lot of work just to stay alive at that weight. Checks his blood pressure daily and uses dialy cialis for the BP control. Gets full blood work every 60 days. Sleeps with a CPAP. 60 minutes of cardio daily. Extremely carefully laid out diet.

When he's retired he plans to purposely lose 100 pounds of muscle.

Attached: 000 16 Dec 2017 Black and White front relaxed.jpg (1080x1080, 123K)

That's like wrestlers and NFL players. Many linebackers actually lose a fuck ton of weight after they retire because they've been maintaining 30-60 above their normal weight

Or they get really fat and lose their muscle definition.

I don't think that'll happen to Thor. He actually doesn't enjoy eating as much as he has to. He actually drops weight between major contest when he doesn't need to force feed. Really I hope he gets out of the sport before he's 35 and lives. Even with all the precautions he takes he's really pushing the limits of human physiology.

Most linemen are bloated on purpose. It's the dudes who have to stay lean that balloon after retiring. Like wide receivers and backs or basketball players.

OH MY FUCK!
For some reason that GIF took me by surprise.

Human penises don't really scale with height/size because they don't have bones in them.

absolute mcUnit

It'd probably be easier to just straight-up engineer one, than to genetically engineer one.

In any case, a "man" of the Juggernaut's proportions would have to be significantly morphologically dissimilar to a regular person. Thicker bones, different foot and joint designs, different cardiovascular system, larger brain. Basically, the answer is yes, in the same way that an elephant or a giraffe can exist.

He had terrible circulation due to his size, which is what allowed a blister to spiral into a catastrophic infection in the first place.

Those are both quadrapedal. A humanoid at that size is bearing twice as much weight on its legs. An ape-like posture might work better, supplementing legwork with its arms and knuckles.
Mentions the terror bird, which was bipedal; but flightless birds are mostly torso and legs, they don't have complex, massive arms and they certainly don't have a human-like brain; hands and brain - especially the brain - require a lot of energy to support, and add significantly to the weight of a creature.

And Evolution Juggernaut is a mutant AND instead of his stepbrother, he’s charles’s half-brother.

no dude shes a thespian irl

Right, penis size has more to do with testosterone and blood flow. There's more and more anecdotal evidence that guys with hugs dicks basically had episodes of high flow priapism during a critical period. That's right, it's all up to how many times you get stupidly hard boners as a teenager.

Thtop thaying that, it'th judgemental

in my heart.

Theropod dinosaurs grew to elephant weight however. Yes they did have more oxygen in the air, buuuut we're not comparing oxygen efficiency in regards to quas vs. biped, rather leg and hip ability to support a 1900 pound body, which is possible. Especially considering the Juggernaut has legs slightly shorter and stockier than a normal human, with thicker bones and wider hips, and proportionately wider feet.

Depending on whose cubits you use, Goliath was that big. True most acromegalics are spindly, but as Andre the Giant showed us, not all of them. He had heavy fucking armor, so probably a big guy.
You can be big and you can be beefy, you just aren't going to live super long.

also giants might just be real. there's a bunch of tinfoil hat websites pointing out fucktons of giant skeletons that have been dug up and just ignored because they don't fit science. Obviously most of them are fake, but they can't ALL be.

Jesus you're that heavy?

They technically do scale loosely with height to the degree there's about a 15% higher chance a guy who is very tall 8s likely to have a very big penis. Taller men, especially those with long torsos tend to have higher levels of testosterone.

Longer torso also means bigger internal organs, including a larger smooth muscle organs like your heart. Obviously that means penis too.

Not every tall guy has a long torso and big internal organs either. Very often they simply gave longer legs. Or the legs received more of the growth than their torso.

That said, so while technically height does increase the likelyhood of a big penis, it doesn't scale in a 1:1 ratio with height, and a short guy has almost as good of a chance, like 85% as likely, to have a dick just as big as a tall guy, and the tall guys can even have small dicks often enough to make height a poor predictor of penis size.

Well, the Juggernaut body shape would be a guy with a long torso, huge organs, who also has rediculously high levels of testosterone... but it still wouldn't be anywhere near 24ft.

Even if it scaled directly, with say a guy my height, 5'7". Now I'm only 6.75" in length, decent... but let's say I was ultra high testosterone and 8 inches long. Irl an 8 in penis is huge. Even at a 1:1 ratio, more generous than reality effects growth by height, but roll with it; 8÷67 × 113 = 13.5 So, at best 13 inches long fully errect. Big, yes, but not even close to the size people would simply assume.

Andre the Giant was not nearly as big as Vince McMahon has led people to believe. There are a lot of people without glandular disorders who were taller than him. This is Andre the Giant facing off against Chuck Wepner, a boxer who was 6'5". Andre wasn't even 7 feet tall.

Had, it's gotten a lot better. That was a few years ago

No, once you get over 7 feet the musculature starts to get fucked even for dudes who exercise and eat right. That big game of thrones guy is going to need mobility devices in his 40s, Shaq already needs them. Adding another two and a half feet to that and a bodybuilder physique? No he'd barely be able to move his body, the kinetic energy would make falls or collisions devastating. That's before getting into the stress on his organs

love ith love

I'm happy to be a 5'11' king of manlets now.
fuck /fit/

Those 15% and 85% are NOT exact statistics. This is what a human biology professor explained like 12 years ago to us. I only use those numbers to say height has a little bit of an impact on predicted penis size, but that it mostly is controlled by other factors like organ size and testosterone levels.

The absolute peak I've seen is some fat Russian dude who is built like a truck and lifts a disproportionate amount of kilograms, I don't know how many hundreds. It's the world record. I remember the video of this guy lifting this cartoonishly large weight surrounded by 8 huge guys ready to catch shit. The way the pole of the thing bends while lifted is fucking scary, I can't believe people can get so unbelievably strong.

Kirill Sarychev, 6'5" and 400 pounds, 738 bench press raw world record. He's a friend of Thor Bjornsson, the 6'9" 440 pounder from GOT. They actually competed at a powerlifting meet in Iceland late last year, Thor had a 2,400+ 3 lift total. Not the all time total record, but certainly world class given strongman is Thor's primary sport, not powerlifting. Strongmen tend to focus more over head press, powerlifters like Kirill more bench press. Strongmen do squat and deadlift a lot however, so a lot of overlap in that regard. Both guys have very simlar body shapes.

On a side note isn't it ironic that this beast of a man is named fucking Thor Son of the Bear
I wonder what his parents look like, are they vikings or something

His dad is 6'7" former arm wrestling champion, basically looks tall and thin but is deceptively strong, his grand father a 6'10" farmer. Thor's mom looks normal.

All his ancestors are literally vikings being he Icelanders. Really you can't get a more fitting name for the world's strongest man. Technically it's "Hafthor" which translates to "Thor of the sea" - close enough.

Everyone knows that wrestlers exaggerate their height.

Awesome. I hear he's a really nice guy too despite his character in GoT.

Oh I've looked it up and it was not bench press. It was squat and the guy is Finnish, not Russian.

Rhino isn't huge, he just has a mech suit. Have you even seen the movie?

Yep. Blood pressure is profoundly high for that feat. The thin skin of the nasal passage with blood vessels close to the surface and blood escapes there. That's what maximum effort looks like.

It is dangerous in the extreme. He is lucky to be alive. These guys virtually all need CPAP for apnea, they all better be controlling blood pressure and so forth. There are men who haven't survived lifting weights that weren't even as heavy as what these guys are doing. Many of them have nihlistic attitudes about life. They put everything into this and gamble with their life. If they don't live, no more problems. If they life, they're a champion.

It's common for them to abuse steroids and stumilants too. Not every steroid gives the ripped bodybuilder look either, so vusible muscle definition is not an accurate way to detect use. Drug testinging isn't really effective either as there are tons of masking chemicals and some even have very short detection time periods.

Tl:dr - the sport is brutal and dangerous but they love it and they get a thrill about the risk

>ultra wide shoulders
I met a professional water polo player once, he was 1.90m tall and I've never seen shoulders so wide on a person. He was like a cartoon with a small waist and his upper body like a huge V.
The only person that got close was a friend of mine who played hockey, almost 1.90m tall and he could do cool physical shit like handstands with one hand and walking on his hands, easy.

Seen the movie

>thinks movies are an authority more so on what counts vs. over decades of a comic character's history

Collar bone width definitely increases with height.

Juggernaut's collar bone width to height ratio greatly exceeds the upper limits for any human though. Same with his massive rib cage.

As it is, men with large frames tend to die of heart attacks at relatively early ages.

Him and three other guys are going to attempt another world record deadlift, upping the previous one by Thor by something like 60 pounds, making it a total of 1100 pounds. This is gonna be sick.

It's kind of like how insects can't get above a certain size--limits of their physiology.

The human body is designed to be relatively tall, slender, and erect and be able to run really well, completely different setup than many animals.

Dude, just compare their faces.

Also applies to gorillas. They do not stand erect because they'd be crushed under their own weight.

if he's otherwise just a normal human scaled up, no
if he's got a series of biological adaptations and mutations that allow him to be that size, sure.

Take it with a grain of salt, but a good amount of what he says is true, though I don't think a guant hominid would need to have piddly flaily arms an diminished intelligence to survive.

I think it's possible such a humanoid could potentially evolve but the current state of humanity wouldn't allow for such features. Think Gigantopiticus.

It's sounding more like a "human", after perhaps the most unethical eugenics experiment ever done, involving GMO as well, could potentially be that large, with a similar build to the Juggernaut. Given Giganto was even taller and mostly bipedal. Being 100% bipedal with a horizotal spine is unheard of besides humans, but I think the legs can handle it, as big as T.Rex... and if the mostly upright Ginganto spine could take it, then a 9.5ft 1900 pound homonid isn't impossible.

Not all babies are born at the same size.

Largest humans are outsized compared to the size the majority of humans are adapted to.

Basically if in general humans faced selective pressure to be over 7ft, then after enough generations we would have proper adaptations to being that height. Males with sturdier frames and stronger hearts would get a distinct reproductive adavantage and so forth.

Now when an animal suddenly, and without any compensating adaptations suddenly grows far beyond the norm for its species it tends to have functionality problems.

The early ancestors of modern elephants weren't any bigger than small wild pigs. Had we a specimen of that ancestor to experiment on, and we regularly injected it with its species specific growth hormone, simulating gigantism; the result would NOT in any way be as functional as a modern elephant.

having a random hormone imbalance that makes you a giant is not the same as being a proper giant through gradual evolution. Compare the builds of 6'8" Nilotics to 6'8" Icelandics. Different environments, completely different volumes are favored

No shit, Just look at the gait on the big foot footage.

cope

But the use of a bovid or herbivorous digestive system in general is because they eat nutrient poor foods that are tough to eat because of their cellulose. It would only be useful if the enhanced human is eating nutrient rich food that takes long to digest, and that's not practical if the man needs a vast supply of calories frequently. Besides, most herbivores are big and round *because* they have a digestive system that takes up a shit ton of room, so if you're really looking to have a more athletic figure, you're not going to want that type of physique

This. I don't think calories would be that big of a problem in todays environment however. With a Juggernaut body he'd probably have a stomach like a 5 gallon bucket. He'd just shovel down icecream and get the huge chunks of fat a butcher normally discards. Large quantities of simple carbs and fats are very easy to get in todays environment. He'd eat the kinds of foods "600 pound life" people were eating, in even bigger quantities. Simply shovel it in with a bigger spoon being he has a larger jaw and mouth too. He could probably down 4 pounds of beef fat and 2 french silk pies in under 10 minutes, then drink it down with a melted gallon of his favorite icecream in less than 5 minutes. Do that several times a day and he'd meet his energy needs.

>Giganto was even taller and mostly bipedal
Who said Giganto was bipedal?

That's an old theory that has been called into question and likely untrue.

Regardless of Gigantopithicus weren't or giant sloths were. We simply do not know of any fully upright bipeds that weren't homonids in any capacity anyway.

So it's an open question if humanoids could be 9'5" and 1900 pounds with Juggernaut proportions. - Or Just how big any fully upright spine biped can be at all. We just don't know.

If someone as he did exist he would probably be a huge submissive bottom

Polar bear
The largest polar bear on record, reportedly weighing 1,002 kg (2,209 lb), was a male shot at Kotzebue Sound in northwestern Alaska in 1960. This specimen, when mounted, stood 3.39 m (11 ft 1 in) tall on its hindlegs. The shoulder height of an adult polar bear is 122 to 160 cm (4 ft 0 in to 5 ft 3 in).
Species: U. maritimus

>despite his height, he was well-proportioned
O-oh...

>space marines
>flesh
Dude, their rib cage has fused into a solid mass with a latice structure of super concrete mixed in. Their skeletons probably weigh as much than the average man.

>>let’s dig up here for some bones
>>shit, a giant human, this could make me famous/get my own column on science journals/make me rich/advance out understanding of humanity/it’s interesting because it has never been seen before
>>nah bro, just ignore it, we’re looking for prehistoric ducks, let’s bury it again
Its more along the line of men in black suits representing some world power, not necessarily a state, put guns to their heads and say if they so much as try to break the narrative they're going to fall asleep on some railroad tracks.

I can't tell if this is ironic shitposting or not.

>No he'd barely be able to move his body, the kinetic energy would make falls or collisions devastating. That's before getting into the stress on his organs
I really love when teens get into technical talking on the fucking internet like they had a phd on whatever field they are talking about.

Dude, the canary islands have several like these and "oficially" they are the product of villagers piling rocks radomnly one on top of another during the 19th century. Archeology in spain is a joke, i don't expect it to be any better in the rest of the world.

I say it's possible, the challenge would be having him stand on two feet, more or less a biped elephant

Aren't his brothers even bigger?

Except at 1900 pounds he's still only 1/4th the weight of a Bull Elephant. Some bears exceed 1900 pounds

No, those were two other Icelanders in a photo, both 7'2" (one was slightly closer to the camera and look like 7'6") . Tall height isn't uncommon there. There's another guy who trains at Thor's gym who is 6'10". They're all tall as fuck with crazy thick bones. Broad shoulders. Hands that look like catchers mitts with bananas growing out of them.

Yes. It scarred me for life

Brachiosaurus wasn’t so big because of the oxygen mix, it’s body was filed with air sacs tha talleviated the weight of its body

there was actually less oxygen in the mesozoic, not enough for humans to breathe, actually.

Read a palaeontology book, you damned piece of shit.

God dammit I hate tripfags

he was taller than his dad at 8 years old

he's 2.06m according to official bio (that's under 6'10" for all you third worlders out there) and weighs in the region of 180kg (just under 400lbs)

shorter than Shaq (by 4"), shorter than Andre the Giant (who died of congestive heart failure because of his acromegaly causing his heart to expand and, because of the way the human heart and circulatory system work, making his heart less effective at pumping blood even though it was doing more work)

"the Mountain" is not a good comparator for the upper limits of the human form, partly because he's still so young (just 30) and partly because he's not as tall or massive (Andre the Giant was 18% heavier)

Robert Wadlow, who was 2.72m (short of 9 feet) at the time of his death, is the tallest human ever recorded - he had problems just walking around, having to use a cane and leg braces; he lost all feeling in his legs and was still growing at the time of his death (aged just 32)

Angus MacAskill, the tallest non-pathological giant ever recorded (just genetics), was well under 8 feet at 2.36m and weighed in just under 200kg, and died probably from meningitis (a not uncommon cause of death for general population) rather than complications from his size; he almost certainly represents the upper limit of what is feasible in human form

how do we know this? because only 17 people have ever been recorded as being taller than 8 feet and we have the accurate records of literally billions of people to draw on for comparison; if it were at all useful to be that big, we would get that big

leaving out concerns over energy consumption for large organisms (never stopped the dinosaurs, after all) there's simply no reason for us not to have diverged into a larger species (similar to G. Blacki, which wasn't really bipedal and probably not much bigger than MacAskill on average)

more to the point we should see other apes of massive size at least in the fossil record, but Kong was always a myth; apes just can't be that big

So, in other words, because we have not seen a homonid get as big as a Kodiak bear, it therefor isn't possible for one to ever grow so large.

That homonids to ever develop adaptations allowing them to become that large isn't possible, because if it was it would have already happened?

Well, you have Chang in KOF, Earthquake in Samurai Showdown, Hugo and ABI-GAIL in Street Fighter.

Does Braun Strowman fit in this category? The guy is 6'8'' and weights 375 pounds I think.

That bio is old, Thor now has less bodyfat and is over 440

Very big man, but nowhere near the upper limit for a human
