So for context, Marvel's 8-C tier is supported by two calcs, the Cable one AND the US Agent one, latter being an explosion John Walker supposedly tanks, but the issue is.... there is no explosion.
This is the full page of the feat, for context:
You can very blatantly see, the fuel truck's too intact for it to have survived an explosion, and the fuel is still present (Which is relevant as US Agent DOES blow it up afterwards, but he's such a far distance away it scales to fuckall). The "explosion" panel just looks like a funky effect they did to signify the truck crashing.
You can honestly read Captain America #347 and come to the same conclusion, it just doesn't make sense if the truck explodes then and there.
We DO have another 8-C feat, Cable's explosion tanking, but it is VERY close to baseline, and Cable is one of the strongest 8-Cs in terms of physicals.
We can try getting more calcs, that's the objective of this thread afterall, but in case we don't, I'd make a suggestion for Wolverine and co. to retain their 8-Cs off Cable, but Captain America tier should instead upscale from Winter Soldier's 0.08 tons calc (which is considerably stronger than the standard 9-A calcs of 0.008 tons), the AP gap between these tiers is short enough to accommodate them being this tier with little to no issues.
Keep in mind Cap IS one of the weaker 8-Cs in terms of physicals, he accommodates with skill, sure, but that's not indexable in tiering section, is it?
