Weight lifting competition

Again....Reed said they were too low and to brace for a crash. Colossus caught the ship that was falling from the sky. Granted the stabilizers were activated but Colossus stopped it from crashing because as Reed said THEY WERE TOO LOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zop I have an experiment for you, jump in your car and get up to about 65 or so and drive straight into a concrete wall and slam on the brakes at the last minute and come back and tell us how that works out for ya.

So again.......FAIL!

The ship was still going to crash though; that meant it was falling towards the ground. Did the thrusters slow it down? Sure, but Colossus still caught it.

It's not like I'm making this up. It's all right there on panel.

Thing and Samson LIFTED their objects which is the whole point of this thread. So far Juggerman hasn't produce ONE scan. The only scans and examples on the "pro Colossus" side were by me. And in the most impressive strength feat in Colossus' name it had major stips.

For a few seconds. That's the whole point. He held it only briefly AND he had help because the thrusters were engaged.

So you dispute that he caught it and supported its weight, even briefly? Or you don't?

How come Zop didn't try out Juggerguy's experiment?

He buffered their landing. That's what was stated on panel. He held it for a few seconds and he help from the ships thrusters. I don't get what's so complicated about this.

Why does it seem like you're trying to take the feat away from him, then?

He caught the ship, and stopped it from crashing, even if he only needed to support the weight briefly. You agree with that much?

Find me "brakes" that, when initiated, PUSH in the OPPOSITE direction of the speeding vehicle, then we'll talk.

Yes and this was AFTER Reed initiated the retro thrusters and stabilizers and even then it was only for a few seconds. You agree with that much yes?

Yes. Thrusters that, while slowing the ships descent, weren't going to stop it, hence the crash landing. So, even briefly, an injured Colossus caught the ship and terminated it's acceleration so the thrusters could take over and avoid a crash.

I'll drive and Bran will be my co-pilot.

Ready?

Thing lifted a 200 ton pyramid, held together a suspension bridge, lifted a 4 story brownstone building, and supported a crumbling oil rig.

Samson lifted a huge 3 story university building from it's very foundation and shook crooks out of it.

Thing wins with Samson being the runner up, unless other scans are forthcoming.

Colossus caught the ship and stopped its descent. The thrusters were slowing it, but they weren't stopping it. So Colossus, however briefly, physically caught it and stopped it from crashing. That alone is impressive. I'm not going to say it's the best feat in the thread or anything, but it's still a nice feat considering what he was going through at the time.

But the fact that he had help (the thrusters) and the fact that it was only for a few seconds takes away a lot from it. It's not in the same league as Thing or Samson's feats.

The thrusters helped slow the ship down, sure. They just weren't providing any actual upward thrust due to them being overpowered by the descent. Colossus was the one that provided them with the chance.

It might not be in the same league, but it's still a nice feat, and it's not nearly his best, so it's no biggie.

Seeing as this is restricted to lifting and other strength feats won't be considered, I'm going to have to go looking for some.
