Strength Levels

The following chart ranks the known living active denizens of the Marvel Universe according to their ability to lift (press) weights. The listing of names within each strength category is random and does not denote sub-rankings within that category. All of the strength levels listed here, derived from the entries in this site, are simply the chroniclers' best estimates as to a subject's strength level. Few people have submitted themselves to a rigorous program of tests to calculate their precise strength. Class 100 signifies the capacity to lift in excess of 100 tons under optimal conditions. The Ton Range categories denote the capacity to lift up to the tonnage range indicated. If the individual's strength is qualified in some way, it is indicated such in parentheses.
