  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)

  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

No idea.
But... i think Betty and Veronica are the same height. Jughead and Reggie maybe a little taller than Archie, though Jug slouches. Just my thoughts. Moose is maybe umm... 6 feet 3?

Jughead is the only one with a known height and weight as per wikipedia, 6 ft, 140 lbs.

Guess we will have to do some math for the others.

This was the only pic I could find of the gang standing up :P



Now if every one stands straight, I think the difference will be in inches. Betty's high ponytail makes her look taller than the rest. So to be fair to the boys, a scalp to heel ( without the high heels ) measurement should be in the range of 5'6 to 5'9. The comics don't show noticeable differences so the range would be 5'6 to 6'.

Dilton would be 5', Moose and Ethel would be as tall as Jug.

Betty looks as tall as Jughead (up to the scalp) in that pic. Her high heels don't even look that high. Betty could be nearly 6 feet tall.

But trying to determine everyone else's height based on one person's known height doesn't always work. I once tried to determine the N Team's height on Captain N by examining a picture of them standing with Bo Jackson (yeah, he appeared in one episode) and using Bo's actual height as a base. Everyone ended up being around 4 feet and change.

For what it's worth, I recall reading a story in a fairly recent digest where Cheryl dwarfed Archie (likely an art error), which would mean she's over 6 feet tall.

Moose clearly tops 6 feet.

6' 6", perhaps?

I'd put Archie between 5' 6" to 5' 10", based on that.

He's not fully grown, as you'll recall.

In the 17-18 range. I've been the same height (5'7") since I got my driver's license at 17.

That would prove that Starfire is Cheryl with a cheap spray tan and contact lenses, if Starfire didn't come first (1980).

Her Pembrooke friend Cedric has got to be the least consistent character in Archie history. In the 80s and 90s appearances, he's slightly taller than Jason (and I assume the other "average" height guys). In his more recent appearances, he's as short as Dilton and his hair is darker (B&VDD #166 has him with black hair).


The old version of the Archie website had the main characters' heights and weights, if I remember right.

Didn't the Archie website used to list their heights? I'm pretty sure I recall all the males being totally average in height (around 5'10" or so), with Juggie maybe a bit taller, Dilton shorter, and Moose taller. In most animation and comics, the characters are near exactly the same height, to make proportion easier and save time (same reason most faces are alike).

I figure the main guys are all 5'10". I could see Jughead being taller in real life, but in the comics he appears about Archie's height, just skinnier. Moose is probably 6'3" or 6'4". Dilton is probably 5'4" (quite short for a man, but not as shrimpy as he was under Al Hartley or others). The girls are likely all 5'6"-5'7" or so. They do appear taller than Dilton, but around the males' height.

Growth stops sometime around 25, people engaging in stretching activities like Basketball may grow a little more.

And if you have PTH disorder, well you can set a few world records. :P

Whatever.

Still in all, Moose is our clue.
He towers over the other characters, including the teachers.

Yet, on one or two occasions, he has met guys bigger than himself. (These people were viewed as outrageously outsized.)

If we assume that non-World's-record sizes top out at 7 feet, Moose will be around 6 feet 6 inches.

Moose is head & shoulders larger than Archie. At least 8 inches taller.
