10 Superheroes Who Are Way More Powerful Than You Think

10. Spider-Man

Because Peter Parker obtained his spider-powers when he was 15, many people see him as “the kid”, and so underestimate just how powerful Spider-Man really is.

Spidey is able to lift a staggering 20 tons, which is the weight of a fully-loaded school bus. This means that he is twice as strong as Venom or the Green Goblin. He has to hold back his full-strength in a fight, knowing that he could kill someone with a single punch. When Doctor Octopus possessed Spider-Man’s body, he punched the Scorpion’s jaw clean off. Only then did Doc Ock realise how much Spidey had been holding back during their many, many bouts throughout the years.

But it doesn't stop there. Readers forget that Spider-Man has a healing factor. Although it’s not as strong as Wolverine’s, he can heal from broken bones in a few days. While fighting the Masked Marauder, he was left completely blind but regained his sight two days later. He also sustained third-degree burns from Firebrand but healed shortly after.

He is immune to most forms of toxins. Even if he was poisoned, he recovers incredibly quickly. He got bit by a vampire once but just walked it off.
