Let's talk about Class M lifting strength that has been applied to Ruby. She dragged the Nevermore across the cliff and that is indeed an impressive feat. But she was using the momentum of the slingshot glyph and her recoil to help with lifting it. And we don't know whether or not the gravity glyphs were helping her but we DO know that she nor any of the other RWBY characters ever display this kind of strength ever again. In vol. 2, Ruby struggled in carrying Penny. I don't really know how much she weighs but I know it isn't enough to qualify as class M. She was also shocked when Penny stopped a truck with her bare hands even though she saw her fight in vol. 1. This indicates that superhuman strength like that is not the norm for huntsmen. Also Nora stated herself that she can lift five times her own weight and that is not Class M. I think the Nevermore was a one time thing RT decided to retcon to make it a more grounded show. Huntsmen use their aura to enhance themselves for striking and lifting strength so maybe with Ruby maybe say "Superhuman (higher with aura). Because I can definitely say that besides the Nevermore, Ruby and people stronger than her have not even been close in demonstrating that kind of strength. So someone please make some more accurate edits.
