no it not. it hyper bole and a support beam only holds up a part of a biulding, there are many of them equal destributing the weight if one goes they all go, but that does not mean that ther eholding anythign closes to 100 tons up
the other support beams were obviously damaged or else the building wouldn't be "going down"
You guys have to remember... When a character is stated to be a CL10 or a CL50 or a CL100. That means that they can in a optimal situation "Military press" (lift over their head) CL10, CL50 and or CL100 as a minimum.
Spiderman bracing 100 tons wouldn't be necessarily be out of the realm of possibilities. Although he wouldn't be able to Military press it or even brace it up for very long (10-20 seconds), he still could do it for a short period of time before passing out.
Most people can brace or hold something up that is 2-5x what they could actually Military press. Try it.

very good point,
I was at my mates house the other day and he just got a new weight bench,
now I could sit and happily do a certain amount of reps which were pretty heavy, heavy enough to give me a good work out but to still feel in my comfort zone, Now I did lift double that over my head but I just wasn't able to do a full set, in fact I struggled to lift it a second time, but still could lift it.

I think that starscream make good points with those scans. Hard to argue with them. Battlehammer, give him his props this time. Both of those scans does show more weight well over a 100 tons.
Good job star.

Originally posted by Starscream MSo since I can lift up a part of a car that means I can lift up 2tons?

Yay I'm super human!
Battle hammer's right. Do you really think that a building just needs one support beam? That Spiderman was that one support beam?
What would be the point of making a building with more?

so in your car example, if you lifted part of the 4000 pound car, I would say you were lifting over 400 pounds of weight

655 Deadlift
635 squat
23 pull ups w bodyweight + 65lbs
Is a body builder... which means he's someone whom focuses on strength...
And according to people whom are bodybuilders the average untrained deadlift wieght is around 156-289...
So you're ability to estimate weight visually is slightly off...
the average

Empire State Building, NYC = 365,000 tons
Woolworth Building, NYC = 223,000 tons
John Hancock Tower, Chicago = 174,500 tons
now let's assume that the daily bugle is 100,000 tons
assume that it has 20 support beams (...and assuming the weight is distributed equally...that's 5000 tons per beam
so whatever the hell Spiderman was lifting, it was EASILY over 100 tons

Originally posted by Battlehammeryou enjoy making stuff up doncha? I was giving the benefit of the doubt by stating there was 20 support beams, I doubt there were even that many beams.
he was not lifting he was supporting.........and he was on an out side beam..........the inside ones always supprot far mroe weight then outer ones. Oh and there way more then 20
