So, Paul Anderson held the world record for being able to lift 6,270 lbs. I think we can all assume that Spider-Man’s pounds per force is much greater seeing how he can lift upwards of 60 tons. A study showed that elite level boxers could punch on average with 776 pounds of force with the highest being 1,300 pounds of force. Knocking someone out depends on the force of the punch, the speed of the punch, the strength of the receiver of the punch, AND WHERE the punch landed.

OK, but, you ask, how could Spider-Man knock him out when Firelord took a full building collapsing on him without becoming unconscious? Good question.

I also think it short changed Spidey a little. Just for comparison sake, in the MSHRPG, Silver Surfer is given unearthly in the strength category. Here, the advantage clearly goes to Firelord, but even here, it is still in the realm of possibility. Here is a comparison of the two in the Marvel Super Heroes Role Playing Game. Just to be fair, why I think the official Marvel site should trump all others, I did not slack in my research. Spider-Man makes better use of his fighting advantage. Firelord relied too much trying to hit him with projectile fire blasts than making use of his power advantage. So right there we can see that while Firelord has the advantage of speed and power, Spider-Man has the advantage of fighting skills and intelligence. Here is how Spider-Man matches up to Firelord: Based on their descriptions, it seems that Firelord may well be the weakest of the heralds. We don’t get power stats for Air Walker, The Destroyer, Frankie Raye Nova, Morg, Red Shift, but I’m not sure if those stats changed while the Hearld), the Fallen One, or Golden Oldie (my favorite). Terrax, while not as tough as Silver Surfer, is still stronger than Firelord by far. Tyrant, Galatactus’s first herald, is stronger than Surfer and maxes out the chart on every stat. But in the immortal words of the Marvel RPG Battle Book, “Not all heralds are created equal, though, and vary in power.” Obviously, Spider-Man would not last long against the Surfer. Here is how Spider-Man matches up to the cosmic chrome dome: cosmic battle, most of revert to the best-known herald – Silver Surfer. has, for most of their characters, stats on how strong, smart, etc. To get the stats needed to compare them, I am going to pull from the authority themselves – Marvel. He’s a herald of Galactus, for Pete’s sake!’ But, I’m here to give you the science on why Spider-Man could hold his own with the hothead from space. When most people (including CBR) think of this story, their first thought is, ‘I like the fight, but Spider-Man couldn’t really take out Firelord. But I think I can bring a different spin to it and most of all, definitively answer the question of could this really happen? Part 1 will deal only with the question – could Spidey actually beat Firelord? I’m sure that JR must have covered it at some point in Spider- History, though I can’t find it at the moment. There’s George’s Friday Night Fight and it made Thomas Mets’s Crawlspace Top Fifty Spider-Man stories. This fight has been covered before here on the Crawlspace.

It’s one of Spidey’s most famous fights, but the one question everyone seems to have is, could he really beat Firelord? Well, we here at the Crawlspace leave no stone unturned and have the definitive answer backed by research, math, and science! Keep reading, Crawlspacers!
