Atlanteans entry:
"Compared to the average air-breather, the average Atlantean is about 10 times stronger."

Kinda hard to argue against it being laid out in black and white. :)

Truthfully, though, I don't want to pick nits about these guys. In this Reboot Project of mine, this is how I envision the Atlanteans. I see their strength coming from the fact that they're swimming effortlessly though high-pressure water on the ocean floors; this will translate into higher ST scores. My own entry places them at ST 23 on average, which is far below the 4 ton range (that's about the bench-press 850 lbs. mark). A more accurate-to-the-source entry would have been an average ST 70.

As it is, ST 23 is on par with Captain America. Let's just leave it at that, shall we?
