okay, so the 100 ton class is very misleading. Why? Well the guy who lifts 100 tons is in the same category as the guy who lifts 100000000000 tons.
I created this thread because I don't want to see people pitting the guy lifting 100 ton against the guy lifting 100000000000 tons thinking they're both 100 tonners. So I just want to list a few guys representing the different ranges of the 100 ton class and hopefully we can estimate how much they lift.
To determine their lifting power, just post their highest cannon feats of power.
Iron Man: ~ 100 tons
Namor: ?
Thing: > ?
Colossus:?
Abomination: ?
Juggernaut: ?
Wonder Woman: ?
Thor: ?
Superman: > 1,000,000,000,000,000 tons AT LEAST
All Star Superman > 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
Silver Surfer: ?
Please provide estimates for these and any other well known 100 tonners. As you can tell, I hate the 100 ton class because guys like Superman really should not even be close to the true 100 ton weaklings.

He hasn't lifted 150 Billion tons. He braced that a mountain that weighed 150 billion tons which is far easier than lifting, and considering that the weight was spread over him and its pivital point. Besides it would have been impossible for him to do that. The mountain would have driven him into the ground like a hammer and a nail. Or it would have crumbled around him.

A great strength system for dealing with this thread's issue is Yahman's. It is an ordinal, or ranking, system where actual tonnage values are of secondary importance. It seems best at accounting for inconsistencies in how a given character's strength is depicted. Unfortunately, it is somewhat involved and I can't replicate it here.
If you prefer a system where tonnage values are primary, there's my approach, which is designed for differentiating among the strongest characters. It's less encompassing but simpler to remember.
Characters can have Kiloton Level strength (lifting 1000 tons or more), Megaton Level strength (lifting a million tons or more) and Gigaton Level strength (well, you get the idea, and you can keep going with Teraton strength, Petaton strength, etc, etc).
Further, you can subdivide each level into Low, Mid and High. Eg: Low kiloton strength = 1000-9000 tons; Mid kiloton strength = 10,000-99,000 tons; High kiloton strength = 100,000-999,000 tons.
Still, Yahman's system deserves a close look...it's somewhere on an old thread dealing with strength ranking.
