Question: Is it possible for identical twins to look different?

we are 14 years old and are identical twins not furturnal. when we were babies and toddlers we looked the same but as we grew up we grew differently. he grew really taller and i grew wider. right now he is 6'0 tall and weighs only 120 pounds. he has the body of a bean pole. he has not fat or muscle in his body he is just skin and bones and our doctor said he is underweight and should gain weight and i am 5'6 and around 280 to 300 pounds. my body shape is round i am fat and jiggly. my doctor says i am morbidly obese and should lose weight. fitness wise he has better cardio fitness he is in track and his 40 time is 5.6 sec and i am on the football team and my 40 was 10.8 sec. but i am way stronger than him and when we fight i always win i normally just sit on him. i can bench 180 pounds and he can bench only 80 pounds. his eating habits are eating healthy foods and eats small. i eat really fatty foods and alot of it, but when we arent doing after school sports i am active like playing football outside with friends and he normally just stays inside and plays video games?

Since you don't know the word "fraternal" (not furturnal), chances are you have no clue what type of twin you are.
The Olsen twins claim they are fraternal twins, but they look identical.
Unless he has muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy, you are NOT identical twins. If it matters that much, have a DNA test done. If you are, indeed, identical twins, your DNA will also be identical.

PS Stop spamming the boards asking the same questions over and over, newbie:

You're identical twins and you probably have the same color hair, the same facial features, and other little features you might notice.

If he loses weight, and you gain weight, of course you're going to look different.
You're not the same person.

If he has a birthmark somewhere that you don't, that's normal too.
If you have a slightly crooked nose and he doesn't, that's also normal.

Then you are not so identical, are you?
