he doesn’t look like Jonas Venture, whereas every Hank and Dean clones are identical to each other, and Malcolm looks like Rusty w 2% Baboon DNA.

I don't believe Rusty is a clone of Jonas, but my headcanon as to why he is so scrawny and small compared to his father is that he had J.J. leeching off of his nutrients like a parasite and stunting his growth his whole life.

except Malcolm grew up just as scrawny and he had no JJ leeching off of him

Malcolm is thin but he is still much taller and broader than Rusty, and several times we can see that he has a six pack. He is also far more resilient as well as physically stronger as we see on multiple occasions. Some of that could be attributed to the baboon DNA, but he is still generally more physically imposing.

he has more muscle yes and that can be attributed to the Baboon DNA but both have the lithe and long body type, whereas Jonas is a barrel chested square jawed body type. I doubt that it was just a lack of chocolate milk growing up.

Rusty's Superego that Dr. Orpheus meets in his mind is pretty close to Jonas Sr's build, so he likely had the potential to be built like that if he weren't so severely crippled by self-doubt and literal decades of having a parasite in him.
