 This article has been scheduled for deletion because no reason given, it's probably just crappy. It must be destroyed with extreme prejudice, as the beginning of our annihilation of the entire universe. So says the Cult of the Unwritten Book. |  |
The purpose of this scale is to, eventually, put all of the characters of the DC Universe in order, by raw physical strength, including the amount of weight each listed character can lift over his/her head with arms fully extended. If this list includes any artificial augmentation of strength by way of outside forces such as telekinesis or mutagenic changes (such as Lex Luthor's enhanced strength from the Everyman Project), it will be noted in parenthesis.
These figures have been known to change from comic to comic, but these values are generally recognized as average for the character and the most recent we know of.
