Originally posted by carver9I call BS. You can probably punch a 200lb man and cause him to lose balance and either fall or stagger and travel some distance. But the force of your punch can not directly carry a 200lb man off his feet (as in fly through the air). This isn't the movies Carv.
I can punch a 200 pound man off his ft. Can I do the same to Superman? Yes or no?

Gotcha. So I can make Superman stagger and travel some distance with a punch?
Regarding Hercules punching Beyonder...
During that entire comic, Beyonder was basically allowing the Avengers to slap him around in order to earn their gratitude:

In the same comic, Wasp also 'caught' Beyonder, and Cap knocked him down with a shield throw:

So all context considered, Herc punching Beyonder through a few walls really isn't that impressive. It's not like Beyonder was powered up to max and giving it his all there, nor did Herc's punch harm him in the slightest. /shrug

It's perfectly possible to push/pull weights higher than your own bodyweight.
And that's IRL, I'm not even talking about comic physics where a 200lb man can shatter a planet by jumping off it, or whatever.
Conversely, weight alone does not denote strength.
