You've made this point multiple times in this thread.
I'd like to point out that no human alive could pull this feat off because it would break our ****ing arms.
Our bodies are literally not strong enough to sustain forces like those: even "giants" of men.
This is why power lifters and very strong bodybuilders snap their ****ing biceps trying to hit peak-human levels of feats (such as deadlifts and barbell curls). Our bones, tendons, and ligaments simply cannot handle that much stress.
Just ask Branch Warren who snapped his ****ing bicep doing bicep curls with 275. 😐
I would note that Branch Warren is known in the professional bodybuilding community as one of the strongest and hardest working athletes. If he wanted to, he could retire from bodybuilding and do strongman competitions with minimal practice (but I think he's torn up his body a bit too much, at this point in his life, to make that switch).
So, yeah, while people are trying to downplay Bane in support of Caesar, real world physics are kind of taking a giant shit on some of the points in this thread.
The door-ripping off feat is, imo, Caesar's best strength feat. IIRC, that is significantly better than any other feat he has so it could be chocked up to just shitty writing because the writers/director didn't really know how much force that would require. Regardless, it's a feat and it counts. I don't know how much force it requires but it is a ridiculous amount: definitely superhuman.
Also, I would note that Bane didn't just break the marble-concrete pillar when punching it. He pulverized the material. That is a much much stronger feat of strength than simply breaking it. It takes far more force to pulverize those materials than it does to just simply over come a stress barrier (basically, just causing it to break/crack).
I've gotta give this to Bane. Comparable strength and durability but Bane is the far-far superior H2H combatant. Brains go to Caesar but not by much.
Edit - This is a good thread. I like seeing people use their brains in these types of discussions. Also, it's nice to see Inhuman in these parts of the board. 👆
