now if i can't find it that means it was either a recton he originally was 3 tons he's now 25 if it for some reason is not in this book then i must've read it in the english CE's somewhere but i doubt that so i'll read it carefully ok
thanks mate
cage has always been respectably strong but just slightly below spiderman. the highest in class4 is 25 tons but that doesnt mean that everyone is 25 tons...cage is still in the spiderman range, i put him at 10 tons the most.
cage is one of those guys with a solid origin story..he's not magic and he's not a mutant therefore there is no room for any unexplained upgrades. and to my knowledge he's never recived an upgrade, simply cuz he doesnt need one, this dude is bad ass thru and thru.
and as weird as it may sound when you already have super strentgh how much you can lift doesnt really correlate with how hard you can hit. case in point ultimate cap beating the shit outta giant man, and starting the battle by running thru a second floor window and jump kicking him in the chin, and making him go ummpph! and wildcat who is only above athlete himself, punching thru walls all the time. whether out of anger or one of his pucnhes missing his opponent.
so cage clobbering hyde and the wrecker is nothing out of the ordinary as far as im concerned. heck, even in the avengers circa '98 the wrecking crew ended up in another dimension and took it over and cap, and vision scored the most its off all of them, and knocked them around

Alright, once and for all, what god-damn class of strength is Cage in. Cuz from some people i hear he's Class 5, some people say Class 10, and then some say Class 25. I, personally, believe he's more like Class 50 or probly even higher. I mean, his punches actually hurt the Wrecker, who is above Thor in strength. Also, he knocked out Hyde in one shot! HYDE IS A CLASS 75 MONSTER! So once and for all, what Class of strength is Luke "Power Man" Cage CURRENTLY in?

as you said the thing that makes the difference is his durabilty, cuz not many, if any guys in class4 has bullet proof skin, thats why he can go all out like that, cuz his skin is not gonna break. well if he's class 25 that means he must be stronger than spiderman now then, and that i refuse to believe

Above Thor in strength ????????
Hyde a class 75 monster ?
Luke Cage = Level 5 / E.g. the average God / Rogue, Emma Frost in Diamond form
I.E. < Alot stronger than spiderman, but no where near as strong as the Thing/Colossus.
If you want to know more go to yahman 's Strength Level sytsem @ better than marvel .com
In the Marvel Knights 2005 Handbook, it listed Cage as being able to press 25 tons.
The Heroes for Hire series grossly misrepresented Cage, putting him in a higher strength level than he should be, in my opinion, and Cage often said things like "I have diamond hard skin", whereas every writer before or since has stated it as being steel hard, quite a difference.
Although, I'm not one to always go by the handbooks. The Marvel Knights 2005 Handbook on the number rating scale put Punisher and Nick Fury above Daredevil and Shang Chi in regards to fighting. It also put Moon Knight's fighting abilities at a 4, whereas I think it should be higher--but that's a different discussion for another day.
Cage has undergone the powerman process several times, the last being in issue #5 of the Cage series in 1992. From there his power has increased. As you may recall, he originally only weighed 300 pounds. Now he is 425. He has since then held his own with the likes of Wonderman, the Rhino, Orka, the Thing and Ironclad. Although the handbook now lists him as lifting approximately 25 tons, he has demonstrated capabilities more in the 40-50 ton range.
