Marvel System Strength Scale
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
(Redirected from Strength Scale)
The purpose of the Strength Scale is to help classify characters' strength levels by the amount of weight each listed character can lift over his/her head with arms fully extended. If your character effectively has two levels of strength by way of outside augmentation (e.g. telekinesis, Gamma Ray bombardments or Cosmic Energy), please use two listings. Identify the augmented strength level's source in parenthesis.
This particular scale is taken from the Marvel System of classification.
