Strength Scale

From DC Database

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.

Contents

Below Normal: cannot lift one's own body weight

Normal: able to lift one's own body weight

Athlete: able to lift one's own body weight up to double one's own body weight

Peak Human: able to lift double one's own body weight up to the 800 lb level

Note: The weight of 800 lbs is the greatest amount of weight a human can lift, within the DC Universe, without being considered superhuman.

Superhuman: 800+ lbs to 2 ton range

Note: Any character capable of lifting more than 800 lbs, in the DC Universe, is counted as having superhuman strength.

Superhuman: 2+ tons to 10 ton range

Superhuman: 10+ tons to 25 ton range

Superhuman: 25+ tons to 50 ton range

  • Bane (with Venom) 45 tons
  • Killer Croc (56 tons)

Superhuman: 50+ tons to 75 ton range

Superhuman: 75+ tons to 90 ton range

Superhuman: 90+ tons to 100 ton range

Superhuman: Class100+ ;Potentially incalculable (able to lift far in excess of 100 tons)


(Note: Many characters' upper power and strength limits have varied greatly over the course of their written histories. Those in the 100+ range, can generally lift as much as 100,000 tons; such as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Darkseid.)
