^ I think David only two-pressed a total of 350lbs in the movie -- in one of the deleted scenes he two-pressed 500lbs. Neither of those figures are very impressive at all by comic standards, though. That said, David's strength can be scaled to the Beast(who physically flipped a police cruiser on its side, for starters), as David appeared to be stronger and more durable than him.
In terms of durability, we don't actually know what David's upper limits are(sans weakness exploitation, obvs.)
He has:
-Survived being ejected from a truck at high speed, completely unscathed.
-Survived a massive train derailment that killed everyone else on board, completely unscathed.
-And again, David's durability at least scales to the Beast(who only sustained superficial damage from close-range shotgun fire.)

He was literally unscathed, not a single scratch. But I suppose he did at least get knocked unconscious from the train derailment for a while? So someone who can bust a train should be able to knock him out, I guess.
David soaked the train derailment before he even knew that he had "powers" -- that was just his subconscious durability kicking in. And because David's stats increase in accordance with his mental state(ie. the more he believes in himself, the stronger he gets), that could have simply been the starting point for his overall durability. So by the time he fought the Beast, for example, it's possible that he wouldn't have even been KO'd by the derailment... But unfortunately we'll never know.
Either way, Unbreakable is a fantastic film, as is Split... Glass, not so much, but I still enjoyed it.

And the flash photography triggering a personality shift was pure ass pull, Split never had a hint of such an exploitable weakness.
How did the anti meta organization even know everything they knew? What, did they have a crystal ball?
I guess Glass himself got one up on them, but that hardly tips the scales against all they've done.

See the second, skip the third unless you enjoy seeing the characters from 1 and 2 easily countered by an omnipotent government organization designed to suppress metas.

^ The metal door scene towards the end of Glass(along with Elijah's dialogue) sort of showcases that, imo.
David starts off in total disbelief that he is anything special, and he initially causes no damage to the door at all... But the more he starts believing in himself/his abilities, the more damage he starts causing to the door, until he ultimately rams through it entirely.

Tbh David started doubting himself because of the staff (anti meta Corp). In normal circumstances, or at his peak, he will be at full confidence in a forum fight.
Yeah, the ending was everything getting leaked in spite of their efforts to suppress.
The thing is, that won't necessarily stop them from kidnapping and murdering metas.. The public knows about the NSA spying on everyone, they still spy on everyone.
Plus there's the "Don't Look Up" scenerio, where a gullible public can be convinced to keep their head in the sand, even against experts.best efforts to alert them to a meteor heading towards Earth. Same basic concept could apply to anything, just convince the public the meta leaks are a massive hoax from a hacker group.

I mean I've never seen no movies. These are movies? David Dunn sounds like a used car salesman. 🤠
