Wolverine vs. MCU Luke Cage

It can be hard to gauge some of Cage's strength feats, because they really don't follow the laws of physics at all. It doesn't matter how strong he is, he simply isn't heavy enough to realistically do any of the following:

I mean Danny can punch the engine block right out of an armored truck and leave craters in the ground. So, Cage's ass should have been sent flying regardless.

So, it's a complete and utter crapshoot trying to quantify some of his feats.

Good point. I had forgotten about that. I believe he was KO'd for an even longer time than Logan when he was shot in the head.

Yeah seemed like a good few hours. He was given some drug to heal his acceleration as well IIRC.

But to be fair, it was a rifle/shotgun.

That applies to every character with super strength ever. Hulk would never be able to stop the Leviathan no matter how strong he is because he weighs hundreds or thousands of times less than it. It's like if a 300lbs fat guy runs at a world champion powerlifter in the 130lbs weight class. The powerlifter would get flattened even if he squats, benches and deadlifts twice what the fat guy can do. Mass moves mass in the real world.

It's best not to bring physics into these arguments.

Yeah, I know. And I don't mean it in the sense that it should be thrown out or anything because it's unrealistic, but just in the sense that it makes actually attaching any useful numbers to these feats rather difficult. Yet, at the same time, he did perform them. So, phuck it. Who knows? Maybe someone a lot smarter and a lot less lazy than I am will take a better look at it one day.
