There's a lot wrong with your post here Leo.
First off, you expect me to buy this when you say you were debating Rage on a non Thor related topic? Come on, you already caused me to mistrust you. Rage has never posted outside a Thor related topic and if he has, he was doing heroin at the time. Luckily he cleaned himself up so we never have to suffer through that. It was probably Darthboogers.
Second, why would you compare dick sizes with Cap? He's like the only one who has a quarter inch girth advantage over Batman. Why would you be surprised? It'd be like going into a Donkey show and getting upset that the donkey was inside 3 holes. You knew it was going to be something wrong.
Third. 'Comic book human' ranges from Carver level beings to Insane Titan level beings. And that's just the thugs. Then you have trained from birth handninjas who can kill a Carver with a thumbnail and do triple backflips through a brick wall. Then you have people like Daredevil, who can turn 30 handninjas into paste at the same time. Then you have Captain America, who can knock out the Hulk on average. It's quite a wide range, and kind of faulty.
Forth. If we turn back to contrasting with our world, all you have to ask yourself is if any human on this planet outside David Blaine can do it? If they start piling up feats on this level, that's a pretty fair reason to not be peak human. I know you hate the real world humans and everyone who lives here, but the people in comics are called human to relate back to us.
Fifth. Does Batman have 100s of feats limiting his abilities, or does he have 100s of feats doing only enough to get by? And are these 100s of feats "limiting his abilities" simply under things that Cap has done? A guy with the girthiest dick in comics?
Sixth. I don't even think Rage has read a Marvel comic without Thor related paraphernalia. He's read more DC comics than the zero Marvel comics he's read that had nothing to do with Thor.
