OOOOOOooooooooh! I get it now. aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 18/05/2017 10:00:21 PM

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. Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 06:16:36 PM 217 Views
Even just bending the knees and letting the arms drop a little would make a huge difference *NM* random thoughts - 18/05/2017 07:03:09 PM 173 Views
Not enough. Not nearly enough. *NM* LiterateDog - 18/05/2017 07:08:30 PM 133 Views
If you look at the math you might be surprised random thoughts - 19/05/2017 02:48:28 AM 209 Views
It's not just Superman, though. LiterateDog - 18/05/2017 07:08:01 PM 324 Views
Maybe the standard model is just missing the superpowers boson. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/05/2017 09:00:24 PM 112 Views
Suspension of disbelief? aerocontrols - 18/05/2017 07:31:51 PM 231 Views

I hate it when massive plot holes are excused because it is science fiction random thoughts - 19/05/2017 03:11:21 AM 213 Views
