(The lore of 40k has been retconned so that there is literal “tiers” of humanity with each tier being smarter, fitter, and taller than the last. And it’s unironically embraced.)
No way, in the past everyone was a baseline human?? What the fuck... When did the ubermenschen retcon happen it's been like this for at least 20 years now. Legit erasure of history lol
There used to be an Imperial Guardsman who fought, and died, right alongside the Emperor during the final battle with Horus, but the Great Man Theory deterministic douchebags of Games Workshop continually retconned that Guardsman into further and further irrelevance because surely the only way to be brave or make a difference is to be an epic destiny supersoldier from birth plus modifications later.
R u referring to the primaries marines?
Humans > Space Marines > Custodes > Primarchs > Emperor
Back in the day all these “tiers” were just humans, with no weird biological supremacy stuff going on.
Like, Primarchs were just basic (if famous) human generals back in the original lore.
