I feel like Street tiers should have a higher lifting strength value (especially Daredevil, "Peak Human" feels too wrong)
Wolverine pries open an elevator door[]
Feat: A danger room simulation of Wolverine was capable of effortlessly prying open a elevator door
Pixel scaling: https://imgur.com/a/iFXlt33
- Elevator doors are supposed to be 6-8 feet tall (84 inches average)
- Door height: 84 inches (1155 pixels)
- Distance of folded door / Sheet thickness: 317/1155*84 = 23.05455 inches
- Thickness of the doors / bend length: 89/1155*84 = 6.4727 inches
- Die opening: 378/1155*84 = 27.4909 inches
- A36 steel has an ultimate tensile strength of 58,000 to 79,800 psi
- Low end force: 10456830 lbs or 4743 metric tons of force
- High end force: 14387156 lbs or 6526 metric tons of force
- He did this to two doors simultaneously
- Low end total force: 4743*2 = 9486 metric tons of force
- High end total force: 6526*2 = 13052 metric tons of force
Both ends are Class M
Falcon bends a metal bar[]
Feat: Falcon bends a metal bar (he calls the material shoddy but that’s more him being angry with Mr. Kane)
Using the same calculator
Because the bar is cylindrical I’ll put in sheet thickness and sheet width (or bend length) as the same value
Pixel scaling: https://imgur.com/a/47tiOgK
- Falcon is 74 inches tall
- His head would be 9.8667 inches (231 pixels)
- Bar thickness: 53/231*9.8667 = 2.2638 inches
- Average head height: 9.44 inches (321 pixels)
- Die width: 181/321*9.44 = 5.3229 inches
I’ll do two ends, using different ends of rebar strength
- Grade 40 rebar has a tensile strength of 40,000 to 60,000 psi (50,000 psi on average)
- Grade 60 rebar has a tensile strength of 60,000 to 90,000 psi (75,000 psi on average)
- Low end bending strength: 154945 lbs or 70 metric tons of force
- High end bending strength: 232417 lbs or 105 metric tons of force
Class 100 to Class K
Falcon overpowers a giant’s grip[]
Feat: Falcon manages to break the thumb of a giant rock creature and overpower it’s grip
Pixel scaling: https://imgur.com/a/SsQ386a
- Falcon’s head height: 1.88/7.5 = 0.2507 meters
- Giant thumb width: 300/157*.2507 = 47.9 cm
- Average thumb size: ~2.5 cm
I found two sources and three values for the “force of a human finger”
- One source gave a mean passive force of 2.9 newtons, with high end of 63 newtons for the maximal isometric muscle force
- And the other source gave 3.8 newtons of force
- According to sq cube law: Upscaled LS = normal LS*(upscaled height / normal height)^4)
- Low end: (47.9/2.5)^4*2.9 = 390822.912 newtons of force (39.9 metric tons of force)
- Mid end: (47.9/2.5)^4*3.8 = 512112.782 newtons of force (52.2 metric tons of force)
- Highest end: (47.9/2.5)^4*63 = 8490290.86 newtons of force (865 metric tons of force)
Class 50 to Class 100 to Class K
Daredevil catches a wrecking ball[]
Feat: Daredevil catches a wrecking ball thrown by Absorbing Man
Pixel scaling: https://imgur.com/a/Sr1mnwb
- Daredevil is 1.8 meters tall
- His head would be 0.24 meters tall (114 pixels)
- Ball width: 275/114*.24 = 0.5789 meters
- Chain length: 402/114*.24 = 0.8463 meters
- Ball volume: 0.81 cubic meters
- Average density of steel: ~7800 kg/m3
- Weight: .81*7800 = 6318 kg (Class 10)
I’ll use olympic shot puts as reference
- The estimated velocity of an Olympic shot put is close to 38 m/s
- Kinetic energy: 4561596 joules
- Joules / meters = newtons
- Daredevil’s lifting strength: 4561596/.8463 = 5390046.08 newtons or 549 metric tons of force
At bare minimum the weight itself is Class 10, but Daredevil catching it is Class K
Deadpool pushes over a large statue[]
Feat: Deadpool pushes over a large statue and squishes a guy
Pixel scaling: https://imgur.com/a/yMe0N9Q
- Deadpool’s height: 1.88 meters tall (111 pixels)
- Statue width: 216/111*1.88 = 3.6584 meters
- Statue height: 503/111*1.88 = 8.5193 meters
- Statue radius: 3.6584/2 = 1.8292 meters
- Volume: 89.55 cubic meters
- Density of stone: ~2700 kg/m3
- Weight: 89.55*2700/1000 = 241 metric tons of weight
Class K
