I mean, Spider-Man for example, is Class 10/15 Tons strenghtg, but bullets can kill him.If you shoot him in the chest he'll be dead.
Blade, Class 1Ton strenght, with 9mm bullets would be dead unless you hit his head, and he can heal from that, but his resistance to those kind of injuries is superior.Or Captain America taking ionic energy blasts and surviving it but he can be killed by bullets.
Isn't that a little strange?

Yes, somewhat. It depends on the explanation of their powers. As a vampire, Blade has great regenerative powers, but vital organs can be susceptable. Spider-Man has denser and stronger ligaments and muscles, but they're not excessively superhuman. As for Cap, some faux science like, his bio-electric field is sufficiently amped up compared to that of a normal human so that he can withstand a great deal of energy.

Another good example is Luke Cage, his strength portrayal has wavered throughout the years, but one of his main characteristics is that his skin is steel hard, so that endows him with greater endurance than he would have if he was just a 10 ton lifter.
