Not bad. But since DC characters seem to be about, roughly, 1 billion times stronger than Marvel's (eg, 100 tons to 100 billion tons), saying a character is less than 1%--while technically accurate--still makes him/her seem stronger than they really are.
True enough but I didn't want to do the math beyond that.

Later, when I've got a few minuites free, I'm going to post a different scale. This last post where Marvel characters were generally less than 1% is based on the official listings of Marvel characters' strength. I think I'll give percentages of what their punching power or actual strength in the comics seems to be.

I see it as...
Marvel Earth < DC Earth
Marvel Cosmics > DC Cosmics
Roughly 🙂

I have to agree with this, just take the s away from Cosmics^^. I liked DC more when Byrne wrote Superman, it was much more entertaining, now it's another DBZ show with this whole SBP crap. Overpower everything to satisfy the kidz.... At least Marvel seemed inspired by DB too, when I look at WWH or the new Thor 😛.

Since Ben rolled out of bed this morning.😉
We've seen Colossus do push ups in his non armored form, so we can safely say he's at least twice stronger than Ben. 😮💨
Spoiler:
Jokes aside. They're probably quite even in this thread.
Btw, how much would Hercules, Namor & Thor rank in this test?

Hey now...
😠
😈
Heres the thing characters such as Hulk, Superman, and to a certain extent Black Adam, Captain Marvel, and Thor can grow exponentially stronger whether it be through sheer will, rage or via Sundip/enegy absorbtion. Because of this, they can reach strength levels over 1,000 x stronger than rest of these guys. So, the scale that i am giving is going to be relative to everyone's average showings (not pulling/holding tectonic plates together, or moving a planet), with Superman being 100.
If Superman is 100 then these guys should be around:
Colossus- 40
Ben Grimm- 38
Black Adam- 97
Wonder Woman- 90
World War Hulk- 98
Classic Green Hulk at normal/ calm) strength- 45
She-Hulk- 35
Captain Marvel- 97
Mary Marvel- IDK
Power Girl- 70
Supergirl- 70
Martian Manhunter- 85
Hercules- 50
Namor- 40
Thor- 93
this thread is a f**king joke, you honestly think wwh has only point five percent of supermans streanght! the strongest version of the hulk and you seriously think superman is 200 times stronger than him???
class 100 means the same in both companies! can lift up to 100 tonns or at least 100 tonns! class 100 in dc does not mean at least 100 million tonns! plenty charactars can lift that (from both sides) but it still starts at 100 tonns

Yet characters like Mongul or Solomon Grundy have (at times) been described by DC writers & editors as being stronger than Superman, and when have they picked up anything bigger than a large boulder?
Strength feats are obviously subjective between characters.
This is very true... there is much inconsistency due to characters having different writers overtime.

There's a huge difference between class 100+ and class 100.
Hulk, Thor, Superman, Hercules, Black Adam.
These are all 100+ guys meaning that they can go anywhere from 100 tons to 100 billion tons.

I say it's because Superman's greatest strength feats happen when he's flying, and he's using a different power to lift the object rather than strength - extending his TK field to the object, etc. Put him on the ground in a punch-up, and he seems matched quite often by other non-flying powerhouses.

You're saying when Superman flies he uses TK rather physical strength to lift objects?
Do you have proof of this being stated on panel?
