Spider-Man's strength is superhuman and significantly above that of a normal human, but it varies depending on the source and context:
- Base Strength: Spider-Man can regularly lift about 10 tons (20,000 pounds), which is far beyond peak human levels and stronger than heroes like Captain America or Black Panther, who lift in the range of hundreds of pounds to a few tons
- Upper Limits: In the comics, Spider-Man has demonstrated feats far beyond his base strength. Notably, he once held up a crumbling 46-story building (the Daily Bugle), which would weigh roughly 100,000 tons, to save Mary Jane
. This shows that when pushed, his strength can reach tens of thousands of tons.
- Comparisons: His strength is greater than many enhanced humans but less than cosmic or godlike characters such as Thor or Hulk. For example, Hulk's strength is considered incalculable and far beyond Spider-Man's
- Punching Power: Spider-Man's punches have been estimated to deliver around 13,000 PSI, about ten times the force of the hardest human boxers like Mike Tyson
- Web Strength: His webbing is also incredibly strong, capable of holding about 6,000 tons, and has been used to restrain powerful beings like Hercules
In summary, Spider-Man is extraordinarily strong for a superhero of his size and type, with a base lifting capacity around 10 tons but capable of much greater feats under extreme circumstances. His strength places him well above peak humans but below the top-tier Marvel heavyweights like Hulk and Thor
