Great write up or should I say writeups. You have done an outstanding job on the Marvel characters since I last checked. I was just wondering why Cap's strength is so low at 4APs that is the same as Nightwing or Green Arrow. He is enhanced by the Super-Solider Serum should he not have a strength of 6 like Deathstroke or Rocket Red who are both versions/subjects of a Super Solider program that enhanced them physically. 6 APs in strength in the DC Hero RPG " represents the absolute strongest normal men and women in the DC comics". While hero with 5 APs of strength " represents a human in peak physical condition like Batman.
Sources: OHOMU #2, OHOMU Deluxe Edition #2 and OHOMU A-Z Vol. 2 All three sources state in some fashion that he has been enhanced by the Super-Solider serum to the pinnacle of human perfection or perfect human specimen. I believe there is a typo about his weight it is listed as 240 in all three sources above.
Sources: DC Heroes RPG 2nd Edition (The Character Hand Book pg.4 )and DC Heroes RPG 3rd Edition pg. 20 reference to the 5 -6 AP strength definition.

Per the source material, Steve's Super Soldier strength allows him to lift 800 lbs. (OHOTMU Deluxe Edition #2, OHOTMU Avengers Assemble # 1 - 2010) When I started this I noticed the AP benchmarks for STR were off, and recalculated them. So being able to lift 800 lbs. equates to an STR of 4. I should have adjusted Nightwing's Str to 3 as well if not I will make that adjustment. Strength Benchmarks <--- Link Here 3-4 A person with exceptional human strength, equivalent to that of professional weightlifters. Lifting Range: 400 - 800 pounds. It should also be noted that Batman has several sources which list him as being able to lift 1000 lbs. (Which wold also be STR 4 as 800 is closer to 1000 than 1600 (5 APs) is) Hope this helps
