Prophet's RT for reference.

Prophet from Crysis doesn't have any lifting strength feats.

And there are only two things that could really be considered directly relating to lifting strength.

Low End

Firstly on the low end the game manual for the first Crysis says the N1 amplifies the operator's strength by two.

There are a few reasons I don't think this is accurate.

Firstly, talking about powered armor amplifying strength by a number is a fundamental misunderstanding of how powered armor works. The Nanosuit is going to be able to output some amount of newtons. That number is fixed unless the suit is altered with more or less CNT muscle. So for the N1 to double someones strength it would need to only be capable of outputting the exact same amount of force as them.

Now it isn't impossible that the N1s were specifically tailored for the Operator so that it doubles their strength. But there we run into the next problem.

The N1s feats we have shows it significantly more than doubles the wearer's strength.

• A member of Eagle Team kicks a car carcass several meters

• Prophet sticking his arm through a soldier (dat art).

That car carcass probably massed somewhere between 700-2000 kg depending the exact amount of stuff taken off of it. If you can find me a video of someone replicating this feat with a 350 kg (770 lb) object I would love to see it.

The other two feats N1 strength feats in the RT are possibly after shenanigans have gone down that would make them much stronger than they were during the first game. But they are also WELL above what two times human strength could accomplish..

Lastly, I don't think a lot of quality control went into the specific numbers. The Gauss Rifle for instance was stated to fire projectiles at near the speed of light.

Before people start going on about how they didn't give an exact number so It could be anything, no, "near" doesn't mean three orders of magnitude less. Even then at 3 orders of magnitude less we would be seeing muzzle energies in the gigajoule range. Which would be a ridiculous outlier for every time we have seen a gauss rifle (including more advanced versions which only have a megajoule rage power pack) used.

The other thing we can relate to Prophet's lifting strength (which is very much higher than a 2x amplification) is a combination of WoG and something from the Nanosuit 2.0 brochure.

High End

Evidence

• In an interview, Peter Watts (author of Crysis: Legion and he also did other work on Crysis 2) says CNT muscle stores 250 times as much energy as human muscle

• Peter Watts apparently calcs his stuff in an attempt to make them as accurate as he can.

• The Nanosuit 2.0 according to the N2 brochure, stores elastic energies at 20 j/cm²

• According to this, human muscle has an elastic energy density of .07 j/cm²

Twenty is actually 285 times greater than point-zero-seven. Peter Watts' number probably comes from a source that ended up rounding down rather than up as twenty is 250 times greater than point-zero-eight.

With that said we need to ask what is "elastic energy density" exactly?

Well as far as I have been able to determine it is how much energy the artificial muscle can store in an ideal spring divided by the volume of muscle. This is a pretty good way to control for volume when getting data on the strengths of various types of artificial muscle.

So what we get out of the Peter Watts interview and the N2 brochure is that the Nanosuit's CNT muscle is around 250 times stronger than human skeletal muscle.

Post-Crysis 3 Prophet is built like a above average muscular dude so getting numbers as high as 70 tons for his bench press wouldn't be particularly surprising using this method. This is assuming he still is using a similar type of artificial muscle as the original version of the N2.

Post-C3 Prophet is pretty easy to calc with this method but is harder to get exactish numbers from other versions as we have to do volume calcs of weirdly shaped bundles of CNT

We know at least part way though Alcatraz' short stint with the suit he still had "normal" skeletal muscle. That rendering is actually a not horrible depiction of what a sarcomer (the smallest functional unit of skeletal muscle) is supposed to look like. It isn't perfect, but hey nothing ever is.

So we would be looking at something like this and trying to calc the volume of the CNT muscle, which would be... problematic.

Though towards the end of Crysis 2 Alcatraz is pretty certain there isn't much in the way of human parts remaining. So at that point we might be able to get away with a similar calc as we did with post-C3 Prophet.

The only thing is I would have trouble convincing myself to use the energy density thing on WWW partly because I don't feel like writing out a few paragraphs on how that all works every time.

But mostly because I feel extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. To that end he really should have some feats on that level before I feel comfortable using this line of reasoning.

The closest thing to showing this level of strength is him very casually getting a train car filled with high explosives moving.

But that is hard to analyze properly because there are a lot of unknown variables (track inclination, wheel/track oxidation stuff like that).
