Steels hammer is actually a highly advanced piece of technology. The farther he throws it, the harder it hits. It's been compared to a hit from Superman in some cases. If I remember correctly it can connect directly to the Earth's magnetosphere and can't be picked up by anyone who doesn't posses John or Natasha's DNA. He pounded a Lex who was amped to near Superman levels and it did not crack or shatter at all.
Strength and durability is pretty decent as well. He's fought class 100's before in straight brawls and done just fine. His original armor took an accelerated fall from space and he got up and kept on fighting.
This is just John steel. Natasha's armor was powered by a fragment of imperiex and thus was way more powerful. She would stomp thing.
