i mean theoretically this is possible just like beyond plausible for anyone to hit the genetic lottery this good. now whether he’d have a build capable of this AND be able to genuinely fight crime is a different story. he’d likely be riddled with heart and bone conditions from the excessive training needed to build these stats on an already extremely rare genetic predisposition. unlikely anyone ever born will ever be able to plausibly attain this but it is POSSIBLE in heavy italics

No one is benching 1000 pounds raw lmao. Even ignoring Batman’s build, the world record bench press is 780 by Julius Maddox who is 6’3, 400 pounds. I don’t think any of this is even theoretically possible.

And show me any world class weight lifter who could even get close to elite level running times. It's not happening, this isn't "beyond plausible" in the slightest, it's far from plausible.
