I don't know about you, but if I lived in the Marvel Universe I would be scared shitless of anything unusual at all, since chances are about 50/50 it's something that will kill me horribly.

Like, when Superman lifts an ocean liner, scientifically speaking all his incredible strength would mean is that his hands puncture the hull. Even if you have enough strength to lift something huge, you also need a sufficient distribution of pressure over a surface area relative to the size of the object, or you'd just punch straight through it (unless it was made of a material hard enough to distribute the massive amount of force applied rather than buckling or being pierced by it). In general trying to explain superpowers through science is a bit of a mug's game.

e: not that that means it's not fun, especially when Squirrel Girl does it, because it totally is!

Something something tactile telekinesis.

I remember seeing an entirely :nms: Youtube video of two super buff guys arm-wrestling, and one of them ending up with a snapped arm simply from the forces involved.

I think I know of the video in question and it was in real life. I wasn't able to find it mostly because typing in "arm wrestling broken arm" gets you a lot of results.

Yep, this. And I can't find it either. I did find this though: :nms: linked x-ray picture of a broken arm :nms:

According to the Wikipedia page, broken arms occour quite often because the arm bone is not designed to take stress in the direction required by arm wrestling.

Calling it now: sometime next week Rocket walks into the motel room, dumps a bunch of trash on the floor and wakes up Peter and MJ saying "here's breakfast!" or something like that.

I remember the very first X-men movie. Wolverine gets an X-men uniform like the ones the others are wearing, leather jacket and stuff, and basically goes "This thing's dumb and stupid" and Cyclops fires back "What would you like instead? Yellow spandex?" or something like that.

I should rewatch the X-men movies to see if they still hold up as well today :allears:

With this feat I'm pretty sure Newspaper Spidey has established that he's far, far physically stronger than his comics incarnation, because drat.

Spider-Man has always been really loving strong. Proportional strength of a spider and all that. He's not one of the heavy hitters of the Marvel Universe (like Hulk and Thor, for example) but he's close.

There was a story some time ago where Doctor Octopus body-swapped with Spider-Man, and then went out to try and prove he could be a superhero too. On his first fight he was shocked to discover Peter Parker had always pulled his punches. How did Doc Ock find this out? He punched a dude in the face, nearly killing him as a result.

e. strength scales:

That one kind of bugs me because after he reveals that he's stuck his own pants to his butt the Avengers should have been all,"Welp, that's the real Spider-Man alright!" instead of insisting on a battery of tests to prove his identity.
