High set (therefore short), very round, self supporting, full, projected oval shape. Oh yeah. Gigantic shoulders, so straps are almost never long enough despite boobs starting nearly level from armpits.
Marvel is extra ULTRA Super duper shallow, tall and wide- looks like a closer match for those who are full on top. For those who are looking to avoid a pointy look, this bra's got ya! It's totally devoid of even remote possibility any/all curves. For the cup width, this is the widest inthis size range I've seen yet- at least 6.5 across from wirearm to wire arm. The height relatively short at a mere 7" here, which should make this style a lovely deep bowl to settle into.

However none of that matters because you only get a square binder that shoves breasts into the armpit and chest wall. Real talk.

Ultimately Marvel is an oversized yet flattening cup that has very little room to speak of, this reminds me a bit of overbust corsets or hyper-cleavage inducing CK Showgirls & Masquerade halfcups. There is no 'there', there when you peer into the abyss of it's inner workings. The very opposite of an Ewa CHP.
Presumably it's design was meant to push everything on the outer half of breast inward toward the gore, forcing the breasts to become narrowed upward vertically. Realistically, Marvel crawls down your chest into the ribs or belly button unless you can hike up the straps to maximum capacity, crushing the tail of spence and all tissue ends up forced into the armscye, because Marvel pushes one's breasts backward into the chest where they want to escape out the sides of the cup,where it's already assumed as much about the boob escape plans and is just extra wide to prevent that- only the pattern is a little fuller in the upper half so you get an empty zone on the bottom outer and a big ole lump pushing up at the shoulder.
One isn't warned to order a few sizes up to avoid a disaster- we're just left to learn the hard way.
Those with soft tissue that is prone to puddling & sinking, will feel very contained and held up. Those of us with literal gristle for boobs can grit our teeth at this travesty and size up a few times or move on.

On my functionally FOB deep shape this bra is all but impossible to pull up into the IMF as-is. Will overlap gore, and see if that helps with the lack of room.


So! Post alterations: narrowed the gore about 2/3", picked out the underwire channel on the right side and carefully sewed it directly over the left underwire channel along gore. Much improved over the 1" width it was prior.
This gave Marvel a little bit more depth in the lower cup mainly at the center, so pressure eased off my inner breasts and how hard it was pushing downward.
However, the fit is still totally crazy, crushing my entire outer half of breasts by shoving my outer volume super high up, and creative a massive shallow bulge as seen in the side profile. The cups do not push up anything at the center or inner cup, really curious what breast features benefit by this strange design theory (marvel wastes half it's cup depth on a very flat bottom & outer with extra wide wires, but doesn't give a boob anywhere to be?)

According to this size, Marvels' depth and height measurements should have been perfect on me but it's proportions are still completely off. Marvel still feels like a flattening sports bra or a minimizer, definitely not a push up or enhancing my high set, very rounded shape in any way.
When I turn it upside down and hold over my bare breast, it's almost a shape that should sit well with mine. FML.
