Feats for Avengers Movie Characters - spoilers

Not much, really. Buildings are hollow, with facades made of glass. They are disturbingly fragile.

You've been watching too many movies. Do you have any idea how much weight the i-beams in those things are rated to hold? Let's put it this way, an M1A1 Abrams tank is about 67 short tons in weight. The plane that was deliberately (and sadly) flown into the WTC in 9/11 was a 767-200 with almost 90 short tons of dry weight, not counting the combined weight of cargo and passengers. The plane that was deliberately propelled into the building at a high rate of speed didn't crash right through the building, and the building only fell due to the melting girders.

You forgot the 30 tons of fuel. Highly flamalble fuel at that.

Yep. That too.

Which makes it an easy estimate for the Chitauri leviathan *at least* 200+++ tons of very dense material, the way it treated buildings like it wasn't even there. And TA Hulk one-punched it to a total stop.

I'm looking forward to the kind of astronomical shit Hulk is gonna potentially pull off in the future movies i.e. reminiscent of his asteroid busting punches in the comics.

If Thanos is standing by as a future villain, and the battle goes all galactic on us, there's certainly the possibility of that level of feat.
