Strength levels

I wish both marvel/Dc had the same strength Meter. It really posses a problem when debating on who is stronger. Dc glorifies there characters 2 much, marvel not so much, and people automatically think Dc's characters are stronger when, infact marvels characters are more than able to do the same. i personally think all these characters are pretty much in the same strength league.

Doomsday
Hulk
Juggernaut
Superman
Thor
Captain marvel
Gladiator
Hercules

no particular order. All these characters have never shown a limit to what they can lift.

With these:

Gladiator (at full confidence)
Doomsday
Superman
Hulk/Juggernaut
Captain Marvel
Thor
Hercules (For some blasted reason Marvel Hercules is weaker than DC Hercules)

<<Hercules (For some blasted reason Marvel Hercules is weaker than DC Hercules)>>

ha! i knew you wuld bring that up. if we only looked at what they could lift according to stats, all those marvel heroes would only be a fraction of what the dc guys are. clearly that is NOT the case. which is why i said we need a broader view - x-overs suck, but they remain our truest measuring sticks. well, that and common sense!

i agree with the above lists and would add wonder woman, though i would put doomsday in a higher class than any of them

This list gets the Founding Father Seal of Approval 👆

Well superman has apparently lifted 1 million tons.. But hercules has lifted the entire island of manhattan. Think of the billions of tons that island weighs? He has lifted much more then superman dont u think? if supes has lifted 1 million tons. Herc gets his ass handed 2 him by Hulk, juggernaut, sometimes thor, in the strength department, makes u wonder.

And i know superman has moved a planet, but he pushed it. Pushing is easier then lifting. Im sure we can all push a car, But how many of us can lift a car over our heads? If any of those other characters had flight, they would be able 2 do the same.

Like i said those characters i have listed are all in the same league. although, i see Hulk, doomsday, juggernaut ontop of that list. The fact is that those 3 characters are suppose 2 represent strength. Just look at how they are drawn. those 3 have out muscled most characters in both universes.

Doomsday has beaten superman, to death
Hulk is stronger than pretty much everyone
Juggernaut, has beaten alot of the marvel heavyweights, and him and hulk go to stand stills

Those 3 are ontop of my list in strength

Hulk
Doomsday
Juggernaut

Superman
Thor
Hercules

Gladiator
Captain marvel

It's a good analysis. Except for one problem: Wonder Woman lifted her entire island home (Themyscira) for more than a day. Themyscira is about the size of Japan. So by that logic Wonder Woman is stronger than Superman, no?

If tht was the case. i was just using it as an example. because in another thread, u said superman, can lift 1million tons. Hercules has lifted billions upon billions of tons, and herc gets his ass kicked by juggernaut, in strength. Juggernaut is stronger.

The point i was trying 2 say is that All of those characters would be in the same level. Each of those characters are able to do the same as the other would. Although the 3 massive guys, are drawn to represent, strength, and when have u ever seen, Doomsday, Hulk or Juggernaut out muscled by anyone? They have been beaten, yes but out muscled u rarely see them being matched in that department.

Superman can lift one million tons without much exertion. However that's just the creme of his power. He's lifted mountains, pushed planets, destroyed moons, and even contained black holes.

With the above Wonder Woman is clearly stronger than Hercules, right? So if WW is stronger than Hercules she MUST be stronger than Superman, no? She's not. She's second in strength to Superman. Which proves that Juggs, Hulk and Herc are beneath him in strength.

Hulk has been beaten by Namor. Doomsday lasted about five minutes against Superman just recently. He got his ass kicked. And Juggernaut has been outmuscled by Hulk.

Draco, im not saying, doomsday hulk, and juggernaut cant lose a fight. they can be outfought. alot of people have better fighting skills than them. However in fights in terms of using there strength, i have yet to see anyone, out muscle them. When superman is fighting doomsday doomsday is the stronger of the 2. when hulk is fighting thor he is the stronger of the 2, when juggernaut is fighting hercules he is stronger of the 2.

if superman was fighting hulk, hulk would be the stronger of the 2, same would apply to juggernaut.

They are drawn to be powerful, Guys like superman are like the underdog in a fight against a big guy, but he always comes out on top, doesnt mean he is stronger.

Isnt captian marvel suppose 2 be stronger than wonderwoman.
Gladiator all his strength is self boasted he says he can do all that, the only think i have seen him do is lift the baxter building

Hulk is initially weaker than Superman. Through anger he'll eventually (after a long time) be stronger than Superman. Juggernaut is weaker (by far) than Superman. Until I see him lift up a spaceship the size of Coast City I think not.

Captain Marvel is weaker than Wonder Woman. He has the Strength of Hercules. She has the "strength of Gaea greater than that of Hercules."

You're dodging the question. If Wonder Woman is stronger than Hercules. And you say Hercules is stronger than Superman. So by logic Wonder Woman is stronger than Superman. But we both know this simply isn't true. So how can you explain this?

Im not saying hercules is stronger then superman. in another thread u mentioned that superman can lift 1 million tons, i simply said hercules lifted billions of tons, and juggernaut beats him in strength.

Hercules is stronger than wonderwoman, well the old school herc not the new one, thor is also stronger then ww. superman is stronger than hercules, But i honestly think him and thor are equal strength. Hulk does start off weaker,but he will surpass superman in strength. Juggernaut is more than capable of lifting anything. to this date classic juggernaut has never had trouble lifting any thing. He has out muscled thor and hercules, and as i mentioned i think thor and superman are even in strength.

<<But hercules has lifted the entire island of manhattan>>

no he didn't savage. he pulled it across the water. happened in marvel team up - one of the early ones - #28, maybe? the last page of that book is awesome as he's chained to the island dragging it. dragging across water is a LOT different than lifting it. still not sure why you say juggs is stronger than supes - near as i can tell neither one really has many limits so they should at least be considered equals if nothing else. and draco's right - a starting hulk is much weaker than supes - hulk needs to be VERY angry to reach supes level.

Hulk's strenght hasn't got a limit it depends on his anger, but maybe eccessive stress caused from the increase of adrenaline to unbelievable levels maybe fatal to him who knows.

Juggernaut's strenght hasn't showed a limit, he was still brawling with War Hulk, but not able to contain him, so it must be certainly over 100'000 Tons.

Superman in Post Crisis version can lift around 1000'000 tons, and more after a sunbath that will give him addictional power.

Thor with Mjolnir at his side, it means in the belt or in his hands is certainly in Superman's league, certainly equal to him.
Without Mjolnir empowering him he's around 90% of Supes strenght.

Captain Marvel<---D.C. Version or Marvel Version?

Gladiator's strenght depend on his confidence

Hercules in half god form is equal to Thor without the hammer, full god, uh, he's the big daddy

Hercules lifted the island in another issue. im referring to dc's captain marvel

full powered hercules wouldnt he be more powerful then superman.
when juggernaut fought war hulk, he was already beginning 2 get weakened happened after onslaught.

all these characters i say are pretty much equal in strength, but i feel the 3 big massive guys have a slight advantage in strength

Hercules isn't stronger than WW. She has "the strength of Gaea greater than that of Hercules" (which is from the mouth of Zeus himself) WW also kicked her world's Hercules' ass. Not demi-god Hercules. Olympian God Hercules. The same Hercules who bore the weight of the entire world.

<<Hercules lifted the island in another issue.>.

ohhhhhh, i know the one!! you're talking about the one where he was speaking to . . . was it a kid? jarvis? i think is WAS jarvis. it was a thor issue. i can find it if you need me to, it wasn't that old. and as much as i love herc, he absolutely did NOT lift the island in that issue! HAHAH! that whole issue was a joke! hercules was telling one of his patented 'whoppers'. in that same issue, he literally CREAMED thor - the whole issue was hilarious! true herc. but he DID NOT lift the island. he was joking/exaggerating - just like he was exaggerating his battle against thor. the issue was actually funny as hell . . .

Hercules' jokes aside, we're dealing with such wildly varying levels of strength (around 100 tons all the way up to millions of tons for some of them) that it's hard to pinpoint all of them for sure.

Generally speaking I'd put Gladiator at the top of this list (he's a pre-crisis Supes clone). Next would be Superman, Doomsday, Hulk. The third group I'd have Thor, Cpt. Marvel, Herc, and Juggs. Juggernaut might be the most invulnerable of any of them, but some sources wouldn't even have him at 100 Tons.

But depending on the writer and/or story needs, any of that could change wildly.

i'll disagree with you on glads. he's lost too many fights -- i mean been knocked out -- too many times (by thor, hulk, he clearly didn't seem near as powerful as surfer when they took on tyrant) for me to put him at the top. juggs has given thor a harder time - in fact - thor's never beaten juggs and been beaten up pretty badly a couple times.

so call me a slappy, but i still say supes is number one with everyone else second. i'd have put doomsday #1 until you said he was beaten badly by supes recently. never saw that, but i'll take your word for it.
but you're right - all depends on who's writing.

But Gladiator is also the guy who has ripped stars in half, almost destroyed Ego the Living Planet, and can supposedly fly 100x the speed of light. Yeah, he's had some bad showings...but his best showings are arguably better than anyone elses on that list. Comic-to-comic things may change, but I'd stick by my "groupings" for the most part.

Juggernaut is well over 100 tons and everything gladiator has done, has been self boasted, he says he has done all those things. doesnt mean they are true. he did fight ego, but ripping stars in half lolol i have never read any comic where that happens
