Cyborg punched Azrael into the air. We will calculate the impact force of a rifle bullet to estimate Cyborg’s super strength.

AZRAEL’S DURABILITY

In Azrael (1995) #18, Azrael survives a point-blank rifle shot. We will use this feat to estimate Cyborg’s super-strength.

NUMBER CRUNCHING

Since Cyborg punched Azrael into the air, his super strength at least equals the impact force of a rifle bullet. Importantly, a rifle can hit with a force of 2684 Newtons.

Since Cyborg punched Azrael’s 1 meter into the air, he exerted a vertical force counter-acted by Azrael’s weight of 95 kg.

W = Fd – mgh = (2684 N)(1.876 m + 1 m) – (95 kg)(9.81 m/s²)(1 m) = 6787.234 J.

DURABILITY

Cyborg generated 6787.234 J of work in order to punch Azrael into the air. In order to generate the lift, Cyborg had to generate a Metahuman-Level of Super-Strength.
