Gruenwald may have placed him where he is because he held his own with the Thing in their initial fight; but he was forced to abandon that fight when his electron energy was depleted, which would indicate the two weren't matching strength at all. His truly formidable power really lies in his voice, though that would of course disqualify him from this sort of ranking.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-51664121651995723532017-12-11T15:09:32.420-05:002017-12-11T15:09:32.420-05:00Didn't Moon Knight get super-human strength du...Didn't Moon Knight get super-human strength during certain phases of the moon? I never could work out how this affected him in the daytime. Or during a solar eclipse.<br /><br />So he should be similar to Nighthawk, except that the picture shows 'supersuit' Nighthawk, with his lasers and claws and possibly augmented strength.<br /><br />Should Black Bolt be that high? His 'Master Blow' was similar to an over-powered Iron Man effect but I don't remember him being at the Thing's level normally.<br /><br />Somewhere in the back of my mind I recalled Wolverine pulling a fast-ball special on an un-Colossused Colossus but on closer inspection it turns out that that was on the moon.

In that case, I'd probably leave the Beast where he is. And I agree about the Ghost Rider--I mean, if he's a skeleton in a costume, where are the muscles? :)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-53745224525355258472017-12-11T04:43:24.136-05:002017-12-11T04:43:24.136-05:00I'd put the silver guys up at least one notch ...I'd put the silver guys up at least one notch too, along with She-Hulk. (She's a hulk, right?) What about Valkyrie? As an asgardian of sorts, shouldn't she be pretty powerful? Or am I mixing up 'asgardian' with 'Thor' too much?<br /><br />Shell-head should go down a place, yes.<br /><br />Assuming the super-middleweights are around Spider-Man's apparent 'ten ton' ability (which is the most-quoted level I've heard, but I admit, usually far too nitpicky for my tastes these days) I'm a little surprised to see Ghost Rider there. That's still significant superhuman strength for a guy who - as far as I know - mostly rides around with his head on fire, making people feel especially guilty. Has he ever demonstrated it?<br /><br />Almost by the same token, I'm not sure what the mediumweight category means. Bench-press five tons? Two? A bit stronger than human level? All of the above? I have to say I don't know much (or anything) about half the characters in it, and the other half seem to be there because they're furry.<br /><br />Did you notice how they left the category header off the last lot? I guess it just wouldn't do to call Captain America a lightweight.<br /><br />I always thought Ben Grimm was robbed, not just depicted as weaker than the Hulk, but not even in his league. (Literally, it seems!) But I'd say Wolverine is where he deserves to be - right at the end. ;DWarren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.com
