Superman being "especially vulnerable to magic" was propagated by the laziness of DC's writers and editors. It was used as an easy way to take Superman out of a given fray, as though the mere presence of supernatural or magical energies would weaken him or diminish his powers, but these same forces wouldn't affect the Almighty Batman in the least. It never made sense to me to begin with, especially with DC perpetually lauding Batman as only being peak human and non-meta at every opportunity.

What with gender identification, non-binary designation "rules", and pansexual acceptance, shouldn't Jon's codename be "Supernonbirthingperson"? Hmmm. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?

Clark Kent/Kal-El was Superman. Clark Kent/Kal-El is STILL Superman. He always has been. He always will be. End of story.

In my humble opinion, the Marvel character/X-Man who doesn't get the respect or consideration that he deserves is Colossus. He has been treated fairly decently in the Deadpool movies, but he's also played mostly for laughs.

In Marvel Comics, it's even worse. Colossus is supposed to be a heavy hitter; someone who possesses Class 100 strength, a high degree of invulnerability and durability, and who knows how to fight, having been trained personally by Wolverine and Cyclops. Pick up almost any issue of any X-Man related comic, and whom is almost always among the first characters knocked out of the fray? Colossus. He usually makes the least contribution to the team's successes or victories, while far less physically powerful or formidable characters get the spotlight.

Then, there's this relatively new trend where he's the gentle giant and the good guy's good guy in one moment, and then he's turned villain. Then he's a good guy again. Then he's not.

Is.

Isn't.

Is.

Isn't.

Is.

Isn't.

It's getting to be ridiculous. Is.

The Hulk's ability to withstand punishment and shrug off crippling pain is nothing new. He has been astounding foes, friends, and rivals with this sort of durability for decades. There was a time when Wolverine's adamantum claws couldn't even scratch his skin, let alone lacerate it.

Although Marvel has showcased the Hulk's prodigious strength and unbelievable durability it is his refusal to accept defeat that enables him to carry on in a fight where others might falter. He doesn't have enchanted weapons, hi-tech gadgets, or flashy energy powers. He has histoirically been represented with a stunted intellect. But his determination to carry on and fight no matter what's been done to him has almost always matched, or exceeded, his level of strength. He simply refuses to be beaten, and so he shrugs off unbelievable amounts of punishment and pain. Sometimes, that is all that he has to fall back on, whereas Thor has generally had Mjolnir and certain magic-based powers to call on in situations where brute strength alone may not suffice.

The Thing is "marginally above" Blade?

"Marginally"?

He's "only" about 100 times as strong, much more durable, and one of Marvel's better, most experienced battlers. Greater than any of those attributes is his dedication to his teammates. Ben Grimm understands his role and place as a team player, and when you couple that with his courage, determination, and strength of will, you couldn't ask for a better comrade and teammate.

Would he last long one-on-one in a pitched battle against Thanos?

Nope.

Would he unhesitatingly take that fight on, knowing that he would lose, if it furthered the cause?

Hell yes, he would.

The Thing understands teamwork, his role on a given team, and the meaning of sacrifice. He might not be a match for Thanos, but he would be an invaluable asset as part of a coordinated offensive or counter-offensive against Thanos's forces. In the Marvel/DC Avengers/JLA crossover, Batman met the Thing, and he asked Captain America about Ben Grimm. Captain America described Grimm as the bravest, most dependable man he's ever known. High praise, indeed.

The hipster beatnik doofus that Disney and the MCU have turned the Hulk into is not a big loss for any production. The Hulk from the first Avengers movie... the one that pulverized Loki and called him a "puny god"? Bring THAT Hulk back and I'll become interested in the MCU again. Absent that, I don't care what they do with the character. Introducing the Red Hulk hasn't made me keen or eager to see the latest Captain America movie, particularly considering that the character is only in the movie for all of four or five minutes. The MCU has become far too dependent on the vibranium armor schtick, enabling ordinary, unenhanced humans to withstand and compete with characters that are by far physically superior to them. In the Marvel Comics, the Red Hulk beat Thor silly with Mjolnir, broke the savage Green Hulk's arm, and fractured the Abomination's skull, but in the MCU, the Falcon can withstand him because he has vibranium wings. Rrrriiigghhhhtttt...

I'm going to date myself here, but I'm old enough to have read very early adventures of the Fantastic Four as they came into print. As courageous and as selfless as Ben Grimm was, and is, there was a subtle hint of suicidalism to his bravado back then. He would tackle impossible challenges, battles that he should have had no chance to win, sometimes with the subtly implied hope that he might perish in the fray. In one such early adventure, when the Thing tackled Dr. Doom on his own, he did so knowing full well he might die in the process. To his own surprise, and Doom's, the Thing won by crushing the gauntlets on Doom's armor, relying on brute strength, courage, and sheer determination alone. At that time, it was a feat unparalleled by any hero in Marvel, matched many years later by the Hulk. Doom suffered the ultimate humiliation, losing by brute force to someone that he considered to be a vastly inferior, ineffectual foe.

You're ranking these characters by strength, and the Rhino is # 20?

20?

Perhaps you mean to say "formidability", and not "strength". In of sheer physical strength, the only characters that can rival the Rhino in of sheer brute strength are the Sandman, and various inerations of Venom. Spider-Man himself described the Rhino as one of the few regular foes that he faces that genuinely scares him, due to the Rhino's strength, durability, and capacity to go toe-to-toe with the likes of the Thing, and more notably, the Hulk.

Moreover, Lonnie Lincoln, "Tombstone", has superhuman strength in the six ton range, and a condition that grants him a hide as hard as granite. He is physically much more powerful and durable than many of the characters that you've ranked ahead of him.

The Rhino has always suffered the inconsistency of Marvel writers and editors. In one instance, he goes toe-to-toe with one of Marvel's heaviest hitters, the Hulk, trading blow for blow for more than a day of sustained physical combat before finally losing. Then, in others, he has been depicted as being knocked out cold with a single punch by both Spider-Man and Luke Cage, neither of whom are even close to the Hulk's class in of brawn and punching power.

Taking a "team-buster" strongman like the Juggernaut, or the Hulk, and making them a regular part of any team is a horrible idea. You HAVE to nerf their powers to make the other of the team relevant. Team-BASED strongmen rarely defeat team-BUSTER strongmen on their own because they were never meant to be able to to begin with. Characters like the Thing and Colossus might be able to hold their own for a little while against the likes of the Hulk or the Juggernaut, but they usually need the other of their respective teams to prevail. When you make characters like the Hulk and the Juggernaut regular of a team, they're essentially being reduced to the level of the Thing or Colossus.

Wolverine chokes out the Hulk? Fat chance. Two reasons: Wolverine's arms are too short, and the Hulk's neck is too thick. Now, add in that the Hulk is hundreds, if not thousands, of times stronger than Wolverine. Wolverine isn't strong enough to sufficiently compress the musculature housed in the Hulk's neck and throat. This is one of the LEAST plausible ways for Wolverine to win.

When Wolverine first appeared in Marvel Comics, ("Incredible Hulk" # 181), his vaunted adamantium claws could barely scratch the Hulk's skin, let alone lacerate it. As Wolverine became more popular, and fans clamored for more clashes with the Hulk, Marvel writers and editors changed this, and Wolverine's claws could suddenly pierce and or slash the Hulk's skin and tissues.
