Also depends on the meaning of peak human. To duplicate world record lifts you'd probably want something like ST 23. Realistically, the people who make those lifts would be best expressed in GURPS terms with a much lower ST plus Lifting ST plus high Lifting ST. Most would also be north of 300 lbs. They're specialized athletes. But Cap & T'Challa are generalists. Even if you're low-balling them a ST of 23 would be appropriate to reflect their ability to match world champions across a wide range of athletic abilities. To be peak human in every category requires you to be a little superhuman.
