I said his strength feats are easier to compare to a bonafide Superhuman like Spiderman, than a Peak Human (Batman for instance).
And this is absolutely true. Cap is the same guy who has held up a chunk of a skyscraper. Lol @ that not being a Spiderman comparable feat. Or ripping a multi-ton statue out of the ground. Or ripping an 8 to maybe 10 foot tall robot's arm off. Or throwing his shield with enough force to catch up to a launched ICBM.
That's not to say I think Cap is at Spiderman's level of strength however. Just that he's closer to Spiderman than Batman.
Giving that I do not know the material,
You know its made of rock. And even if it were made of something as implausible as coal (which is very light, and has a density of ~1.2 g/cc, meaning its barely any denser than our own bodies) the statue would STILL weigh 3 tons. Oh hey, turns out a large statue made of rock is going to way in the category of tons regardless. Which of course is obvious to anyone who isn't an idiot. After all, even something as hollow and light as a car can weigh a ton.
height, width, volume,
Sure you do. Unless you're admitting to being blind? Which would not surprise me in the least bit, on top of everything else you are.
You know the height, width, and depth, because Cap is there as a reference, and you know that he's significantly smaller in all regards there. The exact dimensions aren't even important here, because as I said, your estimations for the dimensions would have to be VASTLY different than mine in order to get the weight down to 1000 lbs or so.
Also, I know you aren't particularly bright, but listing off volume in order to sound smart, is just being redundant. After all, volume is just the totality of the three dimensions themselves. 🙂
or density(could be hollow) of the object,
Hah. Except we see the statue breaking apart and its not hollow. It's solid.
And even if I lowballed it to the the point of being completely ridiculous and I gave it a density equal to a HUMAN body. (which is just 1.01 g/cc), it would STILL weigh ~2.7 tons. 😂
You're phucked anyway you try to split this.
I don't attempt to draw a rough estimate based on nothing. I do however know that caps strength range is no where near within the 6-7 ton range. Therefore, I conclude that the object is not 6-7 tons. This is called logic.
Oh, but it certainly isn't based on nothing. It's based on a *gasp* on-panel FEAT.
You know nothing, and because you are ignorant of plausible calculation and comparison methods (this is why I gave you a picture of something to compare with that was 6 tons, to dumb things down), you conclude its not 6-7 tons. That is the very opposite of logic. That is, as I said, admitted ignorance. Regardless, the notion of it being over 7 tons isn't even IMPORTANT. The important issue here, is that the statue itself is inexorably multi-ton no matter how you slice it. No matter how you try to break it down, that statue is going to be multi-ton--so at least 2 tons. And that, is something you will not be able to bring up an argument against, just like anything else.
You also know shit about Cap's strength range. You will just keep repeating some tired handbook refrain of peak human and ignore the actual superhuman feats--let alone the fact that WRITERS have commented on this shit and denied the idea that Captain America is just a peak human. Oh no. That's not what he was ever meant to be. He was meant to be a...what's the word? Oh yeah, 'Super' Soldier. That's right.
Brubaker, has mentioned that very thing, and nixed the idea that Captain America is equivalent to 'Batman with a shield'. He's not. He's super human, not something that can be achieved with training, which is what a peak human is.
Beast lifts and throws cars. Beast is ranked higher in strength. Beast is stronger
Beast is irrelevant to my posts here. I never argued against the notion of Beast being stronger. Either way, throwing a ~1 ton car is superior to ripping a multi-ton statue out of the ground? I don't believe so--it depends on how far the car is thrown.
Not to mention, Cap has tossed Terrax before. Who weighs just about 2,800 lbs--which is on the same scale as a car. 🙂
