MCU peak human lifting strength upgrade

[Revan_Laha]

Hawkeye was able to rip an Ultron Sentry's head. Dottie Underwood broke a neck. Shouldn't they have at least Class 1 lifting strength for this?

 

[KLOL506]

I agree with this. Fodder humans can casually snap necks without any effort in the MCU.

 

[HierophantDeluxe]

RIpping off a head on an ultron bot seems like a unquantifiable feat. We don't know how strongly secured together it is. Visually it seems like honestly I could do that if I tried.

 

[KLOL506]

It should at the very least be considerably stronger than most robot heads as those things can withstand immense g-forces without getting ripped apart.

 

[HierophantDeluxe]

So can human heads, and with the right grip we have humans today that are strong enough to decapitate someone.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

I agree.

And btw I am planning a huge MCU revision soon.

 

[Jasonsith]

And remember the head of Ultron clones should presumably be much harder than normal human heads.

 

[HierophantDeluxe]

It is still unquantifiable. I would say athletic human to peak human lifting would be a safe assumption, anything higher is unreasonable.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Are you saying that bone is more durable than metal?

 

[HierophantDeluxe]

No, but there is more than just bone holding your skull to the rest of your body. Clearly their metal is durable but we don't know how much metal is holding it to the rest of the body, since they look really makeshift I wouldn't be surprised if it was 3-4 poles or so.

That's completely ridiculous, there's no human who can decapitate someone with their bare hands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging#Long_drop

It takes 5600 newtons of a single applied force to snap the bones in the neck and allow for an easy decapitation. People have been decapitated from the drop alone.

Note that I said single applied force, like a single blow. This value is much lower with a distrubuted load which is what lifting is. A man like this can decapitate you with the right grip and leverage, no problem.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Firstly, that is hanging not physical strength.

Secondly, read carefully, they were only decapitated because they grew fatter in prison.

 

[HierophantDeluxe]

Uh? Both are constant distributed loads.

If you think that this is the only time a person has been decapitated from hanging throughout all of history, you will be surprised to hear that the law of averages disagrees with you.

 

[KLOL506]

Again, this is a rapid action, not over-time action. The hanging was instant, pulling is not.

 

[HierophantDeluxe]

Since you can't read:

"Note that I said single applied force, like a single blow. This value is much lower with a distrubuted load which is what lifting is. A man like this can decapitate you with the right grip and leverage, no problem."

Tearing and torsion are unnatural movements which can stress materials. A man like the one I linked earlier can easily decapitate a person given the right grip and leverage.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Uh? Both are constant distributed loads.

If you think that this is the only time a person has been decapitated from hanging throughout all of history, you will be surprised to hear that the law of averages disagrees with you.

Uh? Read the page carefully. It says that the force of hanging is specifically calculated not to cause brutal decapitations.

 

[KLOL506]

The only reason the decapitation happened is because the guy was too fat.
