It means he is strong enough to move a 220 pound man several feet.

Whoopty doo.

Unless Thor maintains his Asgardian density like he does in comics, in which he'll be around 650 lbs. Still, no big deal there.

Then again, same can be said about Superman. Knocking Namek a kilometer away... how heavy is Namek? 500-700 lbs?

LOL, no. Nam-Ek is composed partially of helium, being 9'3" and only weighing 395lbs

Though I assume that's an error that slipped by and they meant "595"; if not "695": http://dccinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Nam-Ek

LOL. 9 ft tall and 400 lbs eh? Yeah, that doesn't add up. If that's the case then Superman should be 50-80 lbs. No wonder they jump so high. Pro basketball genes right there.

I do think it's a typo, as the other Kryptonians listed are within reason with their height/build to weight ratio.

Zod: 6'3" 215lbs

Kal: 6'1" 205lbs

Faora: 5'10" 125lbs

Jor-El: 6'0" 205lbs

Lol, here we go. Do explain how Hulk's feats are better than overpowering a skyscraper-crushin gravity beam while depowered, and overpowering the singularity. Or how Kurse didn't outperform Hulk when he fought Thor.

Kryptonian flight is pretty much = Kryptonian strength. Remember when Zod and Superman charged each other? Superman was flying while Zod was running, and still Zod managed to overpower Superman in that clash. Also, you forgot the Black hole feat which shits on anything Hulk has ever done.

Kurse definitely performed better against Thor than Hulk did. That nigga just swatted Mjolnir away while Hulk was sent flying when he tried to catch it.

Carver cant prove shit as usual.

This seems accurate.

Flight and speed gives added momentum though, plus we're not sure exactly how their physics work in relation to flying. Flying away from the blackhole pull is a crappy example of strength considering that Lois Lane was still falling and wasn't being pulled. So if a blackhole isn't strong enough to pull in a 130 pound or so woman then it's not really a great feat for Superman's strength.

I'm not saying Kurse didn't perform better than Hulk against Thor, what I'm saying is that he performed better against Thor not due to strength alone but a combination of other aspects like speed and durability. Swatting away Mjolnir wasn't a sign of strength but rather of reaction speed.

Yeah, but flight doesn't neccessarily add speed or momentum. Faora was fighting those soldiers at super speed without flight, Zod appeared to be moving at the same speed as Superman without flight, Namek caught a flying Superman twice without flight, etc. If you re-watch the black hole scene, you'll notice only Kryptonians were affected by the Singularity. Superman was visibly affected by it, and it seriously strained to break free, but Lois was not. Maybe she was just an inch outside of the event horizon or something, I don't know, but that's how it happened.

I just re-watched the fight, Kurse didn't demonstrate any skill or speed feats aside from swatting Mjolnir away. The whole fight was him just beating down Thor like a mongrel. In fact, Kurse casually swatted away a flying Thor, I'd like to see Hulk try that.

I'd like to point out that Lois was probably the only person not affected by the singularity as cars and debris were also being sucked in. Why? I don't know maybe she's made of "dark matter" 😐

Superman shreks

Did the singularity suck other human being?

She was plot device and no other humans went in. So its suspect that A. Plot device is immune or B. Humans were in affected.

doc hamilton was also sucked in so Lois = plot device

It's a plot hole.

Did someone even mention this blackhole as a feat of strength for superman LOL... That was a low end feat. The gravity beam was a meh feat and had little to do with strength and more to do with durability and flight. His best strength feats were his fights with the Kryptonians or the Oil rig feat.. Which by the way is the only kinda calculable feat of strength for him, one of which I might add, he failed to hold up. I see no reason why he's first on this list.

Agreed. Give Hulk or Kurse a kyrptonian's speed and flight and I see no reason why they wouldn't be able to replicate Superman's feats.

The rig gave in, there was nothing Superman, who hadn't even fully discovered his powers at that point, could do about it.

didnt supes struggle a bit with an oil rig and then got KO'ed by it

any how "Kill-El" should be 1 or 2 based on showings i guess.

Yeah, if you didn't watch the movie and you listened to Quan.

Ummm he clearly had discovered his powers, that is beyond question. He just wasn't fully aware of what he was capable of. Point is, he was CLEARLY and visibly struggling. Of that there can be no question. You can see support beams appear to bend some, but he was visibly struggling. Even if the beam remained totally rigid, wouldn't change his visible struggle with the weight. A weight, when all is said and done is his only quantifiable feat, and one he was struggling with. Hardly what I would call no. 1 impressive.
