Comic Book Questions

Marvel doesn't differentiate strength class beyond 100 tons. If you're 100-ton strength class, it means you lift that much or more. More could mean 101 or 10 million.

So any version of Magus is 100+. How much so remains up for debate, and you wouldn't get a definitive answer from anyone.

Original versions (afro Magus) was shown to be more powerful than Thanos. Not necessarily in strength but in total power. More recent Magus was shown to be a rough equivalent of Adam Warlock, who is a versatile High Herald type, though he lacks the raw power of the best in that tier (Kal, Surfer, Thor, etc.)

Eg, could the Martian Manhunter take out Superman by phasing through him? In general, how susceptible is Superman to this kind of power?

Hmm. Here's my take:

Phasing generally doesn't harm anyone, unless there's tech involved since phasers occasionally have the ability to scramble technology. J'onn could solidify part of himself in Kal, causing them both great pain (but presumably more pain to Supes since he could phase a hand into Kal's heart or something). Supes epic durability and decent healing means that it likely wouldn't kill him. But it would undoubtedly cause a lot of trauma, and possibly KO him. Simply floating through him, however, wouldn't do anything.

When Cyborg Supes was in the source wall, what would happen if he reprograms the wall some how and frees everyone?

And would this be possible?

to my knowledge, the wall can't be 'reprogrammed', as it's not an actual machine. also, i don't think it would be possible to simultaneously release everyone merged to it - or at least there's nothing suggestive of a feat like that. imo, cyborg supes would have a better chance at physically releasing the source wall containees one by one, like superman did with darkseid, and like supergirl did with superman [we know that's possible, at least].

Try this

It's a question not a versus thread

If I say Aunt May can do it, and someobody wouldn't agree with it, wouldn't that make it a debate whether or not she could or not ? Thus, on the vs forum.

Try to put answerable questions.

But it is much more suited to the versus forum.

For example, "Who would win in a fight - the Silver Surfer or the Green Lantern" is also a 'comic book question,' but it's very much suited to the versus forum. 🙂.

Could someone tell me if red power ring (those powered by hate/rage) are powered by the users' rage like Hal's is by his willpower or are its constructs created by willpower too. I mean I doubt yellow power rings are stronger the more scared you are, or are they? I doubt you get more effective in battle the angryer you are, unless youre the hulk...

They have the BlackHand's symbol on them. His powers work by harnessing power ring energy or life-force. I give ya two guesses.

there ya have it. clapclap

I POSTED A THREAD ABOUT STRENGTH LEVELS AND IT WAS SHUTDOWN (HOW RUDE) BUT THE QUESTION STILL APPLIES, AND THERE WAS EVEN AN ATTEMPT AT AN ANSWER IN THIS THREAD. I THINK MARVEL HAS IT RIGHT, SET A STRENGTH SCALE. IT GIVE THE WRITERS GUIDELINES, IF NOT IN ONE BOOK SPIDEY CAN BARELY LIFT A VOLKSWAGON BUT IN ANOTHER HE CAN LIFT A SUBWAY CAR. ASKING DC TO DO THE SAME IS JUST FAIR. INSTEAD YOU HAVE PEOPLE SAYING, "WELL THE DC UNIVERSE IS MORE A UNIVERSE OF GODS. UNLIKE MARVEL'S EVERYMAN UNIVERSE." THAT IS BS. THE 100 TON CLASS IS VAGUE AT BEST IN MARVEL, IT DOESN'T SAY THIS IS ALL THEY CAN LIFT, BUT THIS IS AS HIGH AS WE ARE WILLING TO PUT A LIMIT ON THEM. A LOW LEVEL, NOT MAX STRENGTH. IF YOU LIFT WEIGHTS, AND AVERAGE AROUND 300 LBS YOU ARE IN THE 300 LBS CLASS. BUT ANYONE WHO LIFTS WEIGHTS CAN TELL YOU YOUR MAX MAYBE 450LBS. IN MY OPINION DC DOES THIS TO KEEP UPPING THE ANTE. "SUPERMAN IS STRONGER THAT THOR, THE HULK CAN'T BEAT SUPERMAN." IT'S RIDICULOUS, DON'T YOU THINK?

When or how did Doc Samson's strength go from being able to lift 70 tons, to 25 tons?

Whats Galactus's best absortion/eating feat (616 Galactus)?

His power levels used to be based on how long his hair was (like Samson) but now I believe they've been made set and dropped considerably for some reason. AFAIK it's simply a retcon.
