Most Quantifiable Strength Feats

Looking for things with measurable/guessable numbers associated with them, like say the weight of a car, truck, gallon of milk, etcetera.

Can be from the comics or elsewhere so long as it's fairly consistent.

So, yes even short clips like the following are acceptable as submissions for discussion:

(In case this short clip is ever deleted by YouTube, it estimates how strong Spider-Man is based on the known weights of the things he handles, catches, flings, etcetera in the recent Civil War movie.)

Superman lifted the weight of Earth.
Hulk lifting the weight of a Sun.

superman lifting infinity.

I like how he's doing it one-handed too. And not just bracing it either. Look at his arm in both panels.

I think he is askiing for solo fts.

That feat is about as 'quantifiable' as it gets.

The questions are what is he standing on that could weight a building on a planet? and what is the arm coming from or made of that can produce that force?

Hulk can't lift shit, you know it, I know it👆

half of infinity is still infinity 😆 😆

nice try though.

How much did the sun weigh? How big was it? Remember, the OP asked for quantifiable feats.

Yeah, that was about the only thing i was going to comment on.
Didnt take long for the OP to be ignored.

No.

Infinity isn't quantifiable, either, lol.

To clarify, I don't mind duo or group feats, since the model I gave, Spider-Man catching and supporting the boarding bridge to a Boeing 747, leaves the possibility of arguing the unseen portion of the damaged bridge was actually supporting part of the weight of the structure, and therefore acting as a "partner" of sorts.

Unambiguous, clearly defined or measured solo feats with good evidence they represent the upper limits of the character (for the ones without dynamic power fluctuations, that is) are the ideal, though.

Hence, Superman benching Earth is more ideal than Hulk lifting the weight of a sun of indeterminate size, mass, and density.
Note that supplying information that the sun was equal in all ways to OUR Sun, however, in other words putting confirmable and objectively greater solid numbers on the feat (i.e. "quantifying" it), would then make the Hulk feat superior.

would then make the Hulk feat superior.

Dont you mean would make the Hulk feat quantifiable?
Or is this a "who's stronger thread?

Also, is infinity a quantity? That would pretty much be the question revolving round and round....

^^^You spin me right round baby.

The question centers on whether Infinity (&#8734😉 is a quantity, or amount. Amounts are sizes and distances and tallies -- and they are represented by numbers. Numbers only have importance relative to other numbers. Infinity, however, ruins all number comparisons.Aug 7, 2013

The underlying assumption, when somebody presents someone moving a sun in a comic book strength thread, as this one has been titled and presented, is that "sun is much bigger and more massive than Earth, therefore much heavier".

If we're talking about the "actual" solar system Sun, that's true.

And if you go back to the Golden and Silver Ages of comics (which I have no problem with anyone doing in this thread, by the way), you will indeed see images of people towing the "actual" many-times-heavier-than-Earth Sun around.

But not every time you see a sun mentioned in comics can you assume the "actual" Sun of "our" Solar System is being used.

It's numbers I want. Hopefully for a wide range of characters, and I don't really care the era or incarnation of the character, either.

Thank you for the wall of text that didnt answer my question.

The Hulk feat actually specified that he had the weight of a star weighing on his back. Not a sun, or the Sun.
