So a quarter of Jon's strength is not quite enough to send the dummy into orbit, which puts an upper bound of Jon's strength that's not particularly impressive. But it's kind of interesting to see these discrepancies between the feats.
Why isn't it enough to send it into orbit? Could it not be sent into orbit, then over time decay then fall back to earth?
Low Earth orbit is still orbit.

Keep in mind if Jon is anything like his father, he subconsciously holds back so much that what he thinks is a quarter strength, is actually even further pulling away from his sub 100% strength.

Yes. It could end up in a degenerate orbit, but that's going to require less energy than to sending it into a nondegenerate orbit. So in this case you can use escape velocity (adjusted for drag) as an upper bound for a quarter of his strength. Multiplying the value with four (for his full strength) will still leave much to be desired.It could be a millionth of a percentage and it would still not be impressive. That's the thing, it's on a completely different scale from what's being advertised on the forum.
But I am not saying anything about the relativity between degenerative and non degenerating orbits (or low/high Earth orbits).
I am simply saying you are wrong to say it isn't enough to go into orbit, because nothing in the text says so.

Semantics. When I said orbit I was referring to a nondegenerate orbit. If you want me to clarify the terms I use you're free to ask, but you don't get to pick the definitions for the terms I use.
Orbits are orbits, as a satellite repair guy you should be more precise in your terminology, especially around orbits.
Besides, it's fun to be (technically) correct.
Anyway, what has Jon's strength been advertised as? I've only really seen his speed being wanked on the forum.

If your significant other tells you to pick up cheese, and you don't know if she's referring to Cheddar or Gouda, then you ask. You don't take a chance and then blame her for not being specific enough when you bring home the wrong kind. This is basic communication.

In one of the Action Comic issues he was compared to Clark and Kara, I think Phil posted it.
Nor do you say 'there's no cheese in the store', then say 'oh, when I said there was no cheese, I meant there was no Gouda'.
It's just wrong to say there's no cheese, pure and simple.

Does Kara have anything though? I remember Equus and Lobo manhandled her.
MrMind, you still looking for comics lead by villains. Because I have a doozy for you.
It's called X-Men. They're all freaks, and the world collectively lives in justifiable fear of them because they are temperamental children with the power of gods.
Also a rodent that can't be killed is there, worst pest control problem of all time.
