According to The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, "strength" is "the ability to lift wieght above one's head with arms fully extended". The Handbook provides a listing with which the characters of the Marvel Universe would fall:
Below Normal: cannot lift one's one own body weight
Normal: able to roughly lift one's own body weight
Athlete: able to lift one to two times one's own body weight
Peak Human: able to lift from two times one's own body weight to 800 pounds
Enhanced Human: able to lift between 900 pounds and 2 tons
Superhuman Class 10: able to lift between 3 and 10 tons (weight of a car or a truck)
Superhuman Class 25: able to lift in the range of 15 to 25 tons
Superhuman Class 50: able to lift in the range of 30 to 50 tons (weight of a Panzer tank)
Superhuman Class 75: able to lift in the range of 60 to 75 tons
Superhuman Class 90: vast superhuman strength in a range greater than 80 tons, but not exceeding 100 tons (the weight of a small jet airliner)
