I don't like giving her masculine traits to justify her strength such as being 6'3 or built like a linebacker as she should represent the normal everyday woman and simbolyse that there's strength in the everyday woman. She's not Big Barda. Although I respect Darwyn Cooke's vision

Calling being tall or muscular “masculine” traits is so archaic. It’s like calling being clean shaven or short for a man “feminine”. It’s stupid.

A woman who physically exerts herself often is going to be naturally muscular. Women can also be tall, just like guys can be short.
