All the evidence I've seen puts Juggernaut in the 100 ton strength class around the level of Thor or the Hulk. And that is merely going by the characters he is able to hang with physically. Juggernaut just doesn't have that many strength feats when compared to Superman who has several that can only be described as insane. Lacking such evidence on the part of Juggernaut I'd be wary to say that he is stronger than Superman much less that he has the potential to have infinite strength. 😬
In one of the xmen issues, juggie threw the gem into space and it stayed there... it takes escape velocity to achieve that (resisting gravity) which is 25,000 miles per hour, equivalent to 11,111 metres per second (do the math), lets say the arc along which juggie swings his arm when throwing it is 3m, we can use the formula below to calculate acceleration:
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2aS
vf=11 111m/s, vi=0m/s, S=3m
"a" will be calculated to be 20,576,131 m/s^2
then using the formula: F=ma (lets say the gem weighs 100g),
F is 2,057,613N, which is equivalent to 209 tons...
that explains that his strength is greater than 100 tons
going further, let me explain how he is able to exert much more force than that...
strength, in bodybuilding terms, is defined as one's capacity for physical resistance... the amount of physical stress one can tolerate...
thor swings his hammer (lets say it weighs 5kg) at light speed (300 000 000 m/s) for a distance of 2m (arc distance travelled by his arm when swinging), we can calculate force, F:
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2aS
vf = 300 000 000 m/s, vi = 0, S = 2m
a = 2.25x10^16 m/s^2
F=ma
m=5kg, a= 2.25x10^16 m/s^2
F= 1.127 x 10^17 N, equivalent to 1.14 x 10^13 tons!!
may i add that the juggernaut never moved when he was hit by this much force, indicating that he is able to exert a force of 114000000000000 tons!
let me also tell you that he is capable of pressing/lifting extremely heavier weight than superman can.
now aint that some stats for your ass...
