Slade versus Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner),
a picture with better resolution.

This is basically wrestling and no powers?

I suppose that's a reasonably good way of putting it, save I'm not even the least bit interested in the skill level involved, just how Slade's physical strength stacks up to the competition here.

Initially, I was especially interested in how Slade stacks up to #7 through #10. Now, having perused through some of the feats in his respect thread, however, I'm thinking he may not even need gloves to compete with #s 11 through 14 -- Slade's a LOT stronger than I realized before today ...

Did Slade get a power-up recently or is he still around Cap's level?

Do you think Slade is stronger than Steve, blue?

Well just strength with no skill needed for either contestant.

Don't rightly know.

Suspect I haven't seen enough Captain America strength feats to make an accurate determination.

But I've seen Deathstoke kick a thick metal door off its hinges, something that seems the province of, say, 1938 Superman, and I've seen him win an impromptu tug-of-war with Donna Troy.

Donna Troy.

As in "sister of Wonder Woman".

Donna Troy, who was strong enough to do the following even in her earliest Teen Titans days:

... but Slade lightly accomplishes the following:

According to her thought bubbles. she lost her footing...sounds more like he surprised her by pulling on the lasso.

As for the door, I've seen Cap take down one of the type Slade faces only with the help of Wolverine in Secret Wars (when, after tremors and upheaval, Cap must work with him to free prisoners trapped in their cells).

Cap needs his shield or the aid of Wolverine's claws to do the work.

Slade only needs a sturdy pair of boots ...

Cap has feats of strength beyond that of ripping off steel doors.

Identity Crisis, they were after Dr Light whom they suspected of killing Sue Dibny, and Light had just hired Deathstroke as a bodyguard.

Do they top the following?

Yes.

That's just some thin scaffolding.

Steve has ripped off the arms of large robots.

He has uprooted multi-ton statues from the ground while being chained to them.

Stops at cap.

Gets to Bane.

hmm

This must be relatively recent, for everything I've seen of Cap to date, save for a double-team retcon effort where he and Spider-man managed to knock out the Hulk with shield strikes, etcetera,

has had Cap stronger than the average person, but far weaker than classic Kingpin or classic Luke Cage, both of the latter being merely 300+ pound guys of solid muscle.

Let's quantify this a bit better, then.

Does Cap have anything to match or top Kingpin's shoving match here ... ?
