Thank you very much.
How accurate is this in real-life terms?
Most of it seems very accurate in real life. I think the strongest humans were able to lift something like 600lbs over their heads. So if someone could magically amp a human muscle naturally to the point right before it explodes or has failure then I believe that lifting 800lbs is very close to a reality. The fastest humans (with steroids) run about 24-28 mph for short spurts. So 35mph seems about right. The swimming might be a little out of range though. I would say peak human is 8knots max. This is almost double the speed as the fastest swimmer ever recorded. The stamina for a peak human should be around 20-30min max (probably less though).
I keep reading that Michael Johnson was clocked at around 25 miles per hour when he broke the 200 metre record in 1996. He never touched illegal substances.
Does anyone know how fast Bolt ran in miles per hour?
The record for the Men's Clean and Jerk is 580.3 pounds. This was set in Athens 2004.
As time goes on these records could very well get broken over and over again. I think Marvel have done rather well with peak human stat estimates concerning strength and running speed.
