now let's say an oil tanker is 10,000 tons
that means superman lifting an oil tanker was using only .000000000001 % of his strength
As I mentioned earlier it's impossible to state what his strength level is as there hasn't been an indication he has a limit
FYI the large oil tankers are roughly 650,000 tons

this is why I think comic book writers are idiots. Once they say things like moving a mountain or shifting the moon, I really can't take the character seriously anymore.

no, actually it's not the massive strength that I get pissed about, its the massive INCONSISTENCY in strength.
So if Superman (or Thor or any other similar guy) can lift mountains and stuff, don't in the same comic have them struggling against some guy who can barely lift 200 tons.
I just want consistency.
in his second or third appearnace under brynes revamp he lifted luthor's ocean liner with one hand and carried it to safety when luthor staged a terrorist attack to get superman to work for him..the smallest ocean liners weigh about 20,000-40,000 tons luthor's was a decent sized one...when him and an eclipso possessed captain marvel were going at it, they were tossing around an oil tanker those things have a DWT of 100,000 tons(dead weight tonnage)
he even tossed away a space ship the size of a small moon that was exlpoding
even tho this is total bullshit😄 cuz a white dwarf star of that size would weigh hundreds of millions of tons, not a hundred tons, but to do it effortlessly is still not bad

this isnt the ocean liner in question but luthor's own was actually bigger than this
