If he were as strong as Namor or wonderman there really could have been some interesting slugfests. How would he do against these two? or someone like herc or even red hulk? just wonderin
i think they are already much more formidable (proportionally) than SM to be honest , and will be even more so with SM level strength
SM cant really hit with 10 tons impact , i think i remember an all out pissed SM, i think running on adrenalin hitting IM with 8 tons or something along those lines but still a regular SM in a fight without duress and not holding back can hit no harder than 3-5 tons as he doesn't have the skill or training to allow him to consistently hit as hard as he can lift
however CAP with his vastly superior fighting skills can match some striking feats of a class 10 (2- 10 ton range) charecter without the said upgrade , real world boxers can punch at about 1000 lbs... there are 1500 lbs kick wihthout super powers ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfnGkV6qmTw ) ... they just use physics that well
the guys that hit with this impact don't look as if they can barely military press lift say a quarter (250 lbs /113kg) , although they can hit several times harder than they can lift
a master combatant like CAP& DD will be able to do so aswell
so as a result if the upgrade CAP/DD would be able to hit with class 50+ (25 - 50 tons +) punches and kick even harder , tehy woudl be euqlly durable to blunt force impacts but they would do alot more damage than SM ever could
cap with his peak human strength can hit with at leat 1 ton punch impact and DD 1000 lbs like the expert 'human' boxer
cap would be beter than DD with the strength as he has more skills and is already stronger than DD and has had experience knowing what its like to be 10x stronger than the average joe
(oh yh cap already had superuman strength for a short period - 3 tons strength )
...but good for spidey they'll never have the class 10 strength or superior physiology he has accompanied withhis strength
