What is Marvel ?

Both before and after the blue fur started growing in, Hank McCoy was easily the strongest of his fellow founding X-Men, possessing plenty of agility and intelligence to go with his strength. With his mutant animal muscle, Hank has the power to lift upwards of 10 tons, and while this might place him below Jessica Jones, his strength has been clearly defined to have this limit, whereas, Jessica's strength is a bit less defined.

Because of this, Beast ranks just a bit above, his agility and intelligence also contributing to a higher position.

By this we mean that, while Jessica Jones is also smart, Beast is a super genius, and he knows how to fully utilize his strength a bit more. Plus

let's not forget that Beast has gone through multiple secondary mutations throughout his life, getting stronger each time, so his weight limit might not be set in stone.

Leading us into the second tier of super strong heroes, we have the web-slinger himself, Spider-Man.

Spider-Man's strength is often described to be the proportionate strength of a spider, meaning if a spider were the size of human, that's how strong Spider-Man is.

The strongest known spider is the jumping spider, which can lift 170 times its own weight.

So if we apply that to Peter, who is of about average weight, then he could lift around 12 tons.

However, the "proportionate strength of a spider" is not always a fast and hard rule, and over the years, comics have depicted Spider-Man as being able to lift upwards of 25 tons, more than double what a human-sized spider would be able to lift.

Regardless of the comic book logic/science, we can easily say that Spider-Man is MUCH stronger than the previous entries.

LUKE CAGE

Spider-Man is strong, but not stronger than the bulletproof Luke Cage. He might not go by Power Man anymore, but he still has plenty of power, especially behind his punches.

Along with his unbreakable skin, Luke has some impressive strength that puts him above Spider-Man's strength scale. How much stronger than Spider-Man is he?

About twice as much, making his weight limit around 50 tons.

One might think that being able to lift up to 100,000 pounds is enough to put Luke Cage at the top of this list, but unfortunately, this is just the beginning of the strength scale's upper tier.

Not to say that Luke Cage is weak, not by a long shot, but there are still plenty of super strong heroes that can outclass Power Man.

DRAX

You don't get a name like "the destroyer" without, well, destroying, and super strength is pretty useful for destroying things, something that Drax has in spades. Drax's alien body is gifted with strength equal, and perhaps greater, to that of Luke Cage, as well as superhuman durability and accelerated healing.

Drax is also a skilled fighter both with his bare hands and with two short blades, making his strength much more deadly.

So, what makes him stronger than Luke Cage even though they are both in the 50 ton weight limit tier, is his aura.

This is a power that is activated only in times of great need. This aura creates a protective shield and increases Drax's physical strength so much that he was able to rip out Thanos' heart.

While this would normally put him higher up on the list, it's only a temporary power, so Drax ranks below.

THE VISION

The Vision has a great many superpowers, one of which includes density manipulation, a power that gives him even more abilities, including super strength. In his base density, Vision has above human strength, but when he increases his density, his max weight limit goes up to 50 tons. Again, we have another superhero with the same exact weight limit as Luke Cage, so what makes him stronger?
