Doc Samson Respect Thread
This thread is dedicated to Marvel’s most underrated gamma-powered, green-haired, super-strong, therapist. Doc Samson is usually seen as kind of a wuss with muscles, despite the fact that he usually holds his own against monsters like the Hulk. This shows that that is far from the truth.
All the work here was done by Average John and Jonathanos, who worked together to comprise this very impressive capability thread for the good doctor.
Vision outlines Samson’s abilities, then offers him admission into the Avengers:

Samson and the Punisher:
Gamma powered beings don't have superspeed or enhanced reflexes? Here is a Samson who has had about half of his power drained (to the point where he is no longer bulletproof) reacting to a machinegun toting Punisher. At first, the Doc thinks it's an imposter, but it turns out to be the real deal. Also a nice little jump by a weakened Leonard.

Doc Samson vs Patchwork
Doc fights Patchwork, a being who drains gamma radiation from gamma beings. At this point Patchwork has already drained She-Hulk dry and added her strength to his own. Samson holds his own until Patchwork lures him in. The villain eventually drains Samson to half power.

Later on, in the same series, Samson's durability is shown. Patchwork decides to kill himself with a lethal dose of gamma rays. Samson wades through the radiation unharmed to shut down the machine and save him.
