Spider-Man's strength is generally recognized as being able to lift (press) about 10 tons as his base strength level. However, when pushed, he can surpass this by a huge margin—up to tens of thousands of tons in exceptional circumstances. For instance, in the comics, he has held up a crumbling 46-story building which would weigh roughly 100,000 tons to save a loved one, demonstrating his upper limits far beyond his base strength. His typical feats include lifting trucks, tanks (estimated 40-50 tons), and carrying heavy debris effortlessly. The strength of his webbing is also remarkable, capable of holding thousands of tons, adding to his overall power. Spider-Man's strength varies somewhat depending on the version and the story but remains impressive among superheroes, though not at the level of cosmic or god-like characters like Thor or Hulk.
Summary of Spider-Man's Strength:
- Base lifting strength: About 10 tons
- Exceptional feats: Up to ~100,000 tons (e.g., holding a building)
- Lifting vehicles: Can lift cars, trucks, tanks (~40-50 tons)
- Webbing strength: Can hold roughly 6,000 tons
- Upper limits vary but can reach cosmic levels with special powers (e.g., Captain Universe powers)
This range makes Spider-Man one of the stronger superheroes, especially considering his agility and other powers, though not the strongest in the broader Marvel Universe.
