View original postCaptain America is goofy in general with regard to his powers. Isn't his shtick that he's at peak physical potential for a human? Humans are great, don't get me wrong, but they aren't THAT great.

Yes, that's correct. Marvel says he can lift 1800 lbs above his head, which is a little more than 3 times the world record for the clean and jerk.

Spidey can do the same to 20 tons, and he is waaaay faster and more agile.

Iron Man can lift 100 tons, and is walking around in a tank.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

Presumably Superman moves downward when catching Lois to prevent fatal deceleration. - 18/05/2017 06:16:36 PM 150 Views
Even just bending the knees and letting the arms drop a little would make a huge difference *NM* - 18/05/2017 07:03:09 PM 125 Views
