I've always thought Mr. Miracle was peak human.
Nothing? Ever?
That is surprising, since I think most of his appearances indicate near Spiderman level stats, especially in speed.
He's a character that vacillates considerably, and they did explain some time ago why Mr. Miracle doesn't have outwardly grand powers, as one might expect from his heritage (son of Highfather) and it has to do with him actively rejecting the God Powers that were rightfully his. He took them for a while, and was indefinably powerful (as in, very powerful but they never really had hi do much other than casually own DC's Thor). Ultimately he gave his powers to the then powerless Wizard Shazam (so any Shazam feats you've seen post are essentially Scott Free power feats, going by continuity).
But still, generally speaking even the outwardly 'human' new Gods like Serifan, or Scott Free, or Beautiful Dreamer are very obviously supposed to be much stronger and more durable than any human.
And for Mr. Miracle, among many other things, there is this, the major outlier, the spanner in the works (written by one of his ongoing writers, Steve Englehart)...
