I mean, he's Superman and all so he's super strong just cuz of our yellow Sun and all, but if he can bench press a million pounds normally if he hits the gym can he bench press 1.5 million pounds?
Sorta goes for all the super strong fellows like the Hulks and Spidermans of the World as well.

Him and Spiderman get all of their workout on the job, moving cars and stuff.
Hulk is just Hulk, so he's as strong as he is pissed off.

Why would he need to? If he got out of shape, he could just do a quick 3 laps around the World.

Superman's physiology is different though, since he's an alien, so who's to say that Kryptonians acquire muscle mass and strength exponentially the way we do, or if it'd even be more than negligible the increase.
After a certain level of superstrenth, you'd probably either reach a plateau ( even the Hulk's "getting madder = getting stronger" thing probably has some form of peak, even if it's just cuz he might have a gamma level stroke or something); or it'd be hard to tell the difference between phenomenally strong and just incredibly strong.
Why yes I am a nerd.

Actually, Superman doesn't work out.
He's the world's biggest steroid junkie.

Plus, he might just be buff due to Earth's sun.  |

Doubtful. If I remember correctly, Kryptonians practiced eugenics and genetic modification. Perfect physique seems to rank high on those type of lists. But seriously, how? The man can do anything without breaking a sweat.

Strictly speaking, Black Adamle and Captain Marbles should beat Supes. Because theoretically Marbles is as strong as Supes, and Black Adamle is as strong as Marbles; but Marbles and Adamle are both powered by magic, one of Supes' weaknesses. they should kick his ass.

In many of their encounters, Marvel has beaten up Superman, but Superman edges him out due to more experience. Which, given the Wisdom of Solomon, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.... |

Well it doesn't matter how smart Marbles is thanks to Solomon if you're getting punched in the face at 300mph.
And some please photshop Black Adamle?

One of the mods (can't remember who) has a photoshopped picture of The Rock as Black Adam. (Since he's in line to star as him in the film) |

Rock starring as Black Adam would be the greatest thing ever.
I just think Black Adamle would be amusing.

I love Captain Marvel. I think he'd be great for a film. How could you NOT successfully sell people on the idea of a kid living the ultimate fantasy: shacking up with Stargirl. ...and, you know, fighting crime. *cough* |

He said he does at the end of Superman II.
But seriously, folks, I've been doing research on this very topic, and it turns out that Superman, does, in fact, have a personal trainer. Lois got pissed that he came back from the dead with a few too many souvenirs from the Great Beyond, so she hired Simon Dean to keep him in shape in exchange for a spot on the Justice League reserve team as Nova.

Why make a dumb joke, Mxzy? Shouldn't YOU of all people have the REAL answer? |

That is indeed the real answer. don't believe me? Go ask that idiot Olsen boy.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to walk my goldfish.

And my jokes are not dumb! They're just remedial.
