Gets forgotten most of the time, anyway. A detail. No real feats backing it up.Mutants are supposed to have higher stats, too... even without factoring in their powers... meh.

I know Karnak for sure has always been described by Marvel as being superior to normal humans...
Anyways, I've seen nothing on the Karnak side that leads me to believe he can take a majority from Shiva on the regs.. I'm still sticking with Shiva.

I actually looked up several entries on Cyclops, a mutant who's power is seperate from physical abilities.
From his first Marvel Universe Handbook entry on up. All are variations of "possesses the strength etc. of a man his age who engages in intensive physical exercise".
Now, is the average mutant character in better shape/stronger than the average guy on the street? Probably. Same way police, firemen, soldiers, sports athletes are.
I can buy there's an obscure reference that mutants are physically superior on average just for being mutants, but I agree the comics in general definitely don't reflect that. So if it does exist, the writers certainly are either ignorant of it, or flat-out ignore it.
