My point of this thread is to see the wild difference in what people see as street level, people are saying it's their powers and some are saying it's the villans.
In some of these definitions Superman would be considered Street Level.
Even without fatigue the speed required would be a lot. The fastest mile ever is 3:43 and I can't imagine any fatigue that person could have experienced and still maintained that constant of a sprint.
cap was NOT peakhuman as a soldier... he was called the original 90-lb weakling... due to exposure to the super soldier serum, and training by the government... he became peak human...
He went from benching like 80 lbs... to over 800....

If you're a mutant, metahuman, genetically altered human, or alien you are not a streetleveler
If you can fly or project energy or have mental powers.. you're not a street leveler...
If you've ever singlehandedly defeated a villain where the villain could singlehandedly destroy at least a small country .... you are not a streetleveler.
Those are my basic criteria...
And I think according to that... Batman and Captain america aren't streetlevelers... Personally I think of both as very low level metahuman levels.
Cap can knock an jet out of the sky with his shield for gods sake.
I love cap.

I never liked the term "street level." "Lower tier" is a more neutral term, and lower tier characters are those whose overall power level is, well, low compared to other, more powerful characters (I'm not sure if it can be interpreted on an absolute basis or in terms of specific powers).
Generally speaking, I would consider Spider-Man at the top of the lower tier. Iron Man or Namor I would consider mid tier; while the likes of Superman or Silver Surfer would be top tier.

I'd say spiderman would be a low mid tier rather than a high low tier...
and i'd say captain america would be the high low tier.

Depends on many things. One is; like everyone said, is that who they fight more often(Main bad guys and such) determine where they are. Also, they could be street level but one of their powers is way above. Like Cyclops, without his optic ass he could only be streetlevel(He is more street level) but he has his optic ass which could freaking murder powerful people so that power is above street level while the rest of cyclops is below.
Dare Devil is street level but some of his DD senses are above

People should keep in mind all heroes do amazing things, but I don't think that alone determines their level... especially when they go into groups and fight strong people like batman, or get stronger when they fight alone... like Cap.
No, he is the pinnacle of what a human can be... yes I know he does this and that and takes hits from Ironman but you'd be hard pressed to show me where he's superhuman.
Batman has faced people that would ahnniliate him and he's street level right? So wouldn't be on the capability of his powers?
Allow me to explain more. A person can do a short burst much extremely fast, it can be 60 or so mph but it's very short. However the duration is too short to measure it. Cap doesn't produce lactic acid and therefore he can keep this "burst" up for extremely long periods of time.
That feat seems to be a bit bs as he throws his shield at what? 70 mph, I don't see him running almost as fast as he throws his shield, it would be the only logical explanation. 3x faster than a person isn't so bad though in attacking aspects.
