Strength of a space marine

[Slothmaster?]

I was just talking to one of my friends about what power tier space marines are at, and basically stated that they are probably on tier of Iron Man, or Master Chief. He then stated that actually a space marine is probably more ripped than the Hulk. I highly doubt this, but am no Warhammer expert, and so am asking the members of the community. How strong is a space marine actually?
A comparison to another fictional character, or what types of stuff they can achieve would help

Definetly not as strong as iron man, considering that iron man has thrown cars and taken a tank shell with no problem. I have no real idea of how powerful master chief is.

"more ripped than the hulk" is somewhat vauge. If he means stronger than the hulk, then no, not a chance. The hulk stopped a giant alien the size of a freight train in Avengers. No way a space marine can do that. If, on the other hand, he means they have more muscle definition, then possibly.

In terms of a comparison to another character.... Without power armor, possibly on par with captain america in terms of pure strenght? Might be a bit stronger.

Some of their main strengths are not just how much they can lift though. They can also live off things that would kill a human, are very difficult to poison, can heal extremely quickly (not wolverine or deadpool fast, but fast), they can gain information about an environment by eating a local creature, can go into hibernation to survive even in space, have their ribs fused into a bulletproof plate, and are in general very durable.

Their armor can easily take bullets and possibly even smaller autocannons, but above a 50 mil I don't think it will protect them.

Actually, this depends on what exactly he meant by a "space marine" if he meant a Normal Astartes space marine, then yes he's overstating....but if he meant, say, a Primarch, then he would not only be telling the truth, but what he said wouldnt even be CLOSE to how strong a Primarch is.

If you're talking about Space Marines, their strenght were different from other factions. I'm not kinda of expert of warhammer and I would like to introduce wiki for you: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Space_Marines

btw.....it's quite long to read and rest of them were contained with lore.

To compare a Space Marine to Iron Man is laughable. A Space Marine could likely tear Star kout of his suit bare-handed, and their suits are ancient relics of scientific prowess that makes Stark Industries look like a toy factory.

Their bones are like steel, theri rib cage itself has been modified to form the equivalent of bullet-proof armor for their major organs. Their muscle mass is multiple times that of an ordinary man, and they stand several feet above them as well.

They fight with a similar fanaticism to Vikings; they enter battle with absolutely no fear of death, even if it is guaranteed. Their reaction times and reflexes are off the charts, their intelligence and intellectual capacity surpasses that of the greatest minds in Earth's modern-day history.

There are 19 phases of modification through which a man becomes a Space Marine. Beginning at adolescence, when the male body has just begun to mature and enter puberty, the work begins to create a living, breathing war machine. A Space Marine is the epitomy of human potential, falling just short of fully replacing organic with mechanical and cybernetic.

"It takes a considerable deal of time to transform a normal human into a Space Marine. They receive implants known as gene-seed which transform their bodies and give them superhuman abilities - making them capable of spitting acidic venom, absorbing the memories of the dead by eating their flesh, darkening their skin to protect it from radiation, and operating for long periods without sleep by switching off parts of their brains at a time."

ceramite armor disperces heat, so lasers will do litterally nothing.

Try soulstorm or Dark crusade, not alot of people play the original dawn of war because, well, it has less content then the others.

I say less content as in less Muiltiplayer content, single player campian award goes to winter assault and Original dawn of war.

That's a serious exageration. Remember my metioning of iron man getting hit by a tank shell and being totally fine? Space marine armor, on the other hand, can be penetrated by a lasgun if you hit it right- check the wiki, it's right there. And while there bones may be as strong as steel, Iron Man's armor has been demonstrated as being far stronger than steel -not realistic considering that it is supposedly made of titanium and gold-.
