Who can deal more damage?

[The Arbiter]

Comic versions of everyone.

Assume there is an invincible crash test dummy out in a field somewhere. This dummy can either be locked in place or loose. Depends on the preference of the participants. Lets also assume that this dummy can give detailed readings about the amount of force, energy, damage, joules WHATEVER that its hit with.

Rank the following based on who does the most total damage after a 5 minute period:

Thing
Colossus
Human Torch
Cyclops
Storm
Quicksilver
Spider-man
Iron Man

I'd say...

Quicksilver - each hit is pretty light but he can deliver an ungodly number of them.

Iron Man - Tony can overload stuff, plus he can probably whip up a something that makes a nuke look gentle and quaint or some kind of air/satellite strike in 5 minutes.

Cyclops - GOML and leave it open.

Human Torch - nova flame for as long as possible.

Storm - keep up that 1.21 gigawatts, Marty.

Thing/Colossus

Spider-man - i don't know whether he should be above the bruisers or not. Many more punches, but much less force.

i'm sorry but how are you ranking these? great explanation but who's top to bottom tier? you saying Quicksilver brings more damage than IM, Torch, and Storm?

I’d personally think we can forget about Pietro, Scott or Spidey.

Storm I feel like is somewhere in the middle.

Ben can deliver shots that Hulk can feel. Not much more than ‘feel’, granted. But at least that. Assume Piotr’s in the same ballpark. That’s above what any of those listed above them can output in 5 minutes.

Johnny’s Nova blast is pretty ridiculous, and Iron Man’s damage output when he doesn’t need to conserve energy beyond 5 minutes is pretty insane.

So I think it’s one of Ben, Johnny, Piotr and Tony who is winning this.

Human Torch has an effect where he gets so hot, space-time/laws of physics break down. This would be the above-nova effect he used against Marquis of Death, unless that has been retconned or is otherwise not a Rumbles Board viable feat.

The question as to what counts as "canon" these days is pretty much unfathomable to me, so whatever. But maybe Torch has done this on other occasions as well?

I won't argue whether Colossus or Thing is stronger. For sake of argument, let's assume equal strength. The difference being Ben knows HOW to fight. He knows how and where to hit to cause more damage than Colossus does. So let's take Pete out of the equation.

While I'm not sure Torch's current status, it used to be that when he went Nova, it pretty much wiped him out. If that's still the case, then he's going to take himself out of the running. Sure he's going to do a lot of initial damage, but basically he just has that one shot.

So I say narrow it down to Stark and Grimm.

Human Torch has an effect where he gets so hot, space-time/laws of physics break down. This would be the above-nova effect he used against Marquis of Death, unless that has been retconned or is otherwise not a Rumbles Board viable feat.

I tend to ignore anything dealing with the Marquis of Death. (And I still say that sounds less like a super villain than it does a Hammer Horror movie.)

[Beadle]

The Marquis of Death has an effect where the laws of my giving a **** break down completely. That story was painful on so many levels.

[The Watcher]

Unless other examples where the Human Torch has accomplished something similar can be pointed to, I would treat what he did in that storyline an outlier. A Spidey vs Firelord with Johnny as Spidey and Space-Time as Firelord.
