@Opak: The "Zahard boost" as well as the Great Family (physical) advantages are both--given what we have learnt--based on Shinsoo and various contracts.

Of course, the Great Families and those boosted by Zahard blood have terrific genes, so they might have the potential* to grow up to be formidable warriors even in the Outside World. However, they would have to start their training and development essentially from scratch to achieve that, because everything about them was defined by Shinsoo (i.e., their strength / speed isn't related to their muscles). This is quite contrary to those whose strength--even in the Shinsoo environment of the Tower--comes from their physique like Rak or the guy who got bullied by Lero-ro on 2F.

/*The question that occurs is whether people born and bred in the Shinsoo environment could even survive without Shinsoo. And if this applies to everyone, or if it depends on their species and / or how much was their body moulded by the Shinsoo.
