Strength

Is there a list anywhere that anybody knows of that shows who is the physically strongest member of the x-men? I was just randomly wondering if Colossus is stronger than Warpath. I would imagine so, but I don't know. Even a ranking of strength in the Marvel U in generally would be great. Obviously Hulk wins, but is Thor stronger than Hercules? Is colossus stronger than Thing?

I believe it was in the Storm mini Worlds Apart, where it was stated that Nehzno had surpassed Colossus in the strenght department, should we accept this as a fact? It was written by Yost if im not mistaken, also he created Nezhno.

Worlds Apart definitely preceded Doomwar --  it occured before T'Challa's injuries that led him to abdicate his position to Suri, injuries which occurred in BP (5th series) #1, and Doomwar followed the 12th issue of that series.

Strength has been iffy throughout the years at Marvel. I take it as, When they need to show strength they will, when they need to show weakness for storyline reasons, then magically someone isn't that strong anymore. Case in Point. Let's say Hulk or Juggernaut is a villain for storyline purposes.

Hulk or Juggernaut Punches a hero that doesn't have any super human durability or protective Armor. But yet, the hero goes flying, and soon later is back at it again. Instead of That hero's head being decapatated, or a hole is punched straight through the hero's chest and quite frankly that one punch would killed most hero's instantly. That is like getting hit by a wrecking ball from a bulldozer. That is instant kill, But not in Marvel. In a sense, it is used just to show how much someone can lift, but is applied in other instances as needed. In World War Hulk, So many people got punched by a very enraged Hulk, but yet there were like no casualties. Same with this recent Avengers vs. X-Men. Phoenix is ungodly powerful, but yet every gets blasted by it, but for storyline reasons, only Xavier dies. Everyone else just seem to have such powerful armor or wolverine level healing factor as they are alive walking and talking as if they were hit by the Wasp blasters and not by one of the most powerful Marvel entities in existance.

For a long time, I railed against constantly boosting people's power/strength levels, because when it comes to making a coherent story, you either have to assume the readers are dumb, or you have to severely depower the person in order for the actions in the story to make any sense.
