Luke Cage beat the Thing. His skin is harder than impact of the atmosphere of radiation that gave the Thing his power. That means it’s more powerful than the measure of its strength.
Great fight.
I'd love to agree, but... we need to be fair here.
Cage's lows can be easily explained --- he was before his upgrade.
What we need is more info about said upgrade. Luke supporters always mention it, but never give us any details. Did it happen during his 1992 series?
Modern Cage is a force to be reckoned with, basically a Mike Tyson with Superman powers, who cannot wait to bite your penis ear off for absolutely no reason at all...
Be pretty cool to see this happen in a comic. Cage should definitely be very close to this level if not at this level. He looked like a solid low Class 100 after blowing past the Rhino who is classified at Things strength level.
There was a time just after he recovered from injury, that he broke nearly anything that he touched because he was unable to control his strength, but I don't think that counts.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
That was after Magneto healed his body. When he returned to the X-Men he was having a hard time adjusting to his increased strength. I think I remember a scene where he was dialing a phone and smashed the buttons because he was stronger than he used to be.
There was also a scene where Colossus was restraining Rogue who at the time had Captain Marvels strength and Rogue mentions something about how much stronger Colossus had become because she couldn't break free.

The problem with upgrades is that writers often forget, or have no idea of the changes. This means thateither of these two could find themselves being beaten by characters that they shouldn't be beaten by. At their best, they're about even.
