So if you can bench press and object for five days with barely any perspiration and no food to regain energy, I am sure you have enough strength to destroy that object.
How much do you weight? lets say 180 lbs, lets say that We look for someone who can bench press [b]you
for 5 days straight with out a rest. After he lifted you for 5 days straight, go in front of him, piss him off and I am sure he has enough strength to fuq you up.So, Do you think that someone who can bench press you for 5 straight days cannot destroy you?
I agree with you that bench pressing is not the same as striking.
If I can bench press an object only ONCE, Yes you are correct, I don't have the strength to do it, but if I Bench press the same object for 5 days straight and you think I don't have the strength to do it, you are completely and utterly wrong.
Also see above response
Superman easily split that moon on Jupiter and damaged the moon with the shock wave of his punch. Plus He has that example of almost knocking the moon out of it's orbit while poisoned by K, moving a celestial out of it's orbital trench >>>> destroying a celestial object, It requires more force, if you don't believe me ask the asteroid belt, in our solar system.
Destroying celestial objects in the manner Superman has done and denying it, it will be like you telling me that I can cut a piece of butter with a knife but the same knife cannot cut a larger piece of butter?
Now, think about this
You can bench press a planet for 5 days straight with no rest, you are just pushing that planet up and down for five days.
One day, you decide to punch that planet but you only break a mountain.
So the premises are
You can bench press earth for five days, not one time, not one minute, not one hour, not one day, but FIVE days with out difficult
You produce mountain leveling punchesWhat logical conclusion We can get out of it?
Conclusion 1
You are only capable of mountain leveling punches, but you can lift a planet for days straight with out effort, therefore you can only punch with mountain leveling punches, no matter how hard you hit and no matter how strong you are.
Conclusion 2
You can bench press a planet for five days, but you decide to hit just hard enough to level a mountain because you might destroy the planet you are trying to protect, therefore you can hit harder than that.
So that's it, pick the conclusion it makes sense to you, though I think anyone can see what is the most logical conclusion, because one of them does not makes sense. [/B]
Respectfully, you are getting WAY too caught up into the 5 days. NO HUMAN BEING could bench anything for 5 days straight, so that's where the real world comparisions end. Nothing else matters after that because there is no real world equivalent. Even if one could manage to move their arms up and down for 5 days nonstop, which they couldn't, they would have lifted nothing. If Superman was to lift the equivalent of nothing for three days, then the feat becomes completely unimpressive in terms of a strength showing. I find it amazing that anyone could begin to take an obvious comic book super powered feat that had no other purpose but to be a feat and try derive some sort of meaning from it. Even in a comic book sense, Superman simply does not perform to the level of the strength feat, so how significant is it in the end?
