Current Events > How strong is Spiderman? Just under Thor and Hulk strength?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Movie Spiderman
---

Nowhere near hulk or thor
---

Not even remotely close.
---

typically shown in the comics to be be around the 5-10 ton range, possibly topping out at 25 tons under moments of great stress (and bad writing)

in the movies? probably around the same in the Raimi flicks, less in the Webb ones, and even less in Homecoming

Thor and Hulk are way above that consistently though, he's no where near that level
---

His web is stronger than he is. It can hold up things that he can't.
---

I always thought Spiderman could at least stop a Thor or Hulk punch with some effort, though he doesn't posses the kind of strength to cause shock waves in pavement

Maybe if they weren't trying that hard. But Spider-man doesn't have a huge amount of durability. If Doc Ock gets a hit with a robotic arm Spider-man probably won't block it for example. He's more likely to dodge it.

In the PS4 game he struggles to hold up a car. Granted it's not much to go by.
---

He's like 10-20 tons. They're in the millions of tons in the movies and straight up sextillion tons/planet levels in the comics.

He's not close.
---

Current comic Peter Parker is 25 tons, that doesn't even scratch the surface against Thor or Hulk. I'd say the same applies to the movies.

Spider-Man is a street level hero tops but he makes his way in large scale battles with the heavy hitters purely because of his popularity

I always heard he's constantly pulling his punches against regular thugs because otherwise he'd punch their heads off?

All super strong heroes have to do that.

Ghost Rider is stronger than Spider-Man.

Spider-man doesn't get enough credit. Sure he's no Hulk or Juggernaut, but he's definitely on tier 2 of strength. If he was really pissed off and didn't care, there's probably only a handful of people that could stop him

All he would have to do is jump on you and crush your skull in an instant.

If he legit punches a normal human being the human wold die.

That's not an impressive feat. Humans can already do that to each other with a single punch.

It's like posting "If Boogie legit steps on a cockroach, the cockroach will die."

Boogie is not a human being.

It's impressive if every single one punch was a killer.

But the average for normal humans are several blow outside of critical spots. And you still have to hit damn hard.

No. This is objectively wrong. He's not even close to tier 2, 3, or 4 in power.

And the list of people that can stop him is near limitless. If I started naming them (and I can start for you), it'd fill up a gamefaqs post before I was 1/10 of the way done.

Hulk has unlimited strength, only his anger limits him.

Spiderman is a street level super hero compared to ones like Thor and Hulk. I have no idea why people are overestimating his strength. His spidey senses makes it easier for him to dodge things than tank things, which isn't to say he does have some level of durability, but not where near the levels to that of Hulk and Thor.

I'll note though that is one of the reasons I like Spiderman, not overpowered but enough to take out street level baddies. Which is why it's fun for him to take on supernatural villains that have an edge over him, I'm a sucker for underdogs taking on opponents stronger than them only to beat them using wits (hence why I really enjoyed Part 2 of Jojo).
---

Not near Hulk or Thor, but he is waaaaaaay stronger than the average human being. Of course, Thor is a god and Hulk is basically indestructible.

It fluctuates. He's never at Thor and Hulk levels though, unless he has like a cosmic boost.

I always liked how he could lift like a car in the animated series but struggled with it

His gift is in speed and agility.

Spider-Man is a top-tier street-level hero. And his overall well-rounded powerset can let him perform well in higher stakes environments as well. He isn't the strongest or the fastest or the most durable, but he has a solid combination of all three along with Spider-Sense to let him punch above his weight class.

IDK if i'd call spider-man an underdog. He's stronger than most other street level heroes that come to mind and he can one-shot half his rogues gallery

Good point
