Re: Who here can replicate this Superman feat?

Wonder Woman - no. Depending on how you interpret the sun scene [and canon, but I assume it is], maybe, but even so it's no really clear.
Hercules - of course not
Sentry - no
Blue Marvel - of course not
Black Adam - of course not
Jane Thor - of course not
Beta Ray Bill - of course not
Thor - of course not
Gladiator - of course not
Hulk - WBH maybe, rest no

Them being on a planet doesn't stop the potency of the feat, the AP/DC disparity has been a thing with comics and manga for decades.

If the arm wrestle feat isn't valid, I suppose the holding up the heavens feat would take it's place

As for WW, I didn't know she had done something like that, does her stamina also stand up too?


Hercules holding up "heaven" is him just holding up Axis Mundi (an energy field), not literally Heaven or some weight.

pretty much this, ww pulling sun was such a outlier i don't know how to rank ww strength wise anymore

Bench pressing Earth is an outlier, lmmfao. One ft is just far better than the other. Benching earth weights IS Supermans best strength ft.

I honestly just took it as him holding up the Earth’s atmospheres. It’s obviously not an infinite realm that he was holding up such as heaven. I think it’s a planetary feat but not earth lifting heavy

I’m still of the opinion the Co-feat with Sunspot is greater strength feat.

It is a greater ft, no disputing this.

What did they do?

Avengers (2016) #688. Herc was needed to hold a mechanism in place that had the momentum or power of the planet's rotation. Along with Sunspot.

You don't even understand what he's typing,I warrant.

The “axis” is just the point where the heavens above rest upon the earth below. Saying that Herc was lifting the axis doesn’t change the feat, because the axis = the point bearing the weight of the heavens.

It’s why Atlas’ bio says that he bore heavens weight on his shoulders, which is exactly what Herc did when he took Atlas’ place.

And it’s based on the Greek myth of Hercules, which is obviously what Superman’s story is referencing.

The feat is ambiguous. We don't know how long it took for the two to stabilize the rotation. It seemed Thor needed to help.

Also the force to stabilize the machine doesn't necessarily have to equal the same force to stabilize Earth. Based off the length of the lever arms, the force could be reduced several times or more. In other words, turning something with a bigger level arm uses less force than turning with a smaller lever arm.

Good feat though.

Good feat though.

I won’t argue given I don’t get the science behind a lot of this stuff. But I definitely think countering the Earth’s rotation would be a harder feat than lifting the weight of the planet.

Regardless I agree it is a good feat for the two of them.

H1, stop trying to downplay fts to make Superman ft look better

Here it is straight up said that it's the spiritual center of Earth.

Marvel handbook states the same.

The comic never stated that.

Whether you agree Hercules lifts actual heavens or not, that doesnt change anything IMHO

Mytho-based stories tend to be metaphors. It is good feat, but how does it transfer to physical strength we have no idea

I mean what difference is lifting heavens and lifting an energy field? both sound flowery to me.....

Hulk, Gladiator and sentry do it laughing. The others save maybe WW do it.

LMAO, Gladiator, Hulk and Sentry are all stronger than Superman. They do this feat with ease. Carver is right. Hurts don't it.👍
