Lifting Strength refers to the ability of a character to support mass under the influence of gravity or to exert an upward force. This measurement includes feats of pushing, pulling, and lifting objects, taking into account the specific conditions and gravitational forces involved.

It's important to distinguish telekinetic or similar abilities from physical strength when assessing lifting feats. Additionally, throwing an object upward can also be considered a lifting feat, as it requires more strength than simply lifting the object due to the additional effort needed to achieve height.

Note: Lifting Strength should not be equated with Attack Potency, or Striking Strength; they represent distinct aspects of a character's abilities.

Infinite - - - Infinite weight by 3-dimensional standards, provided that it's not hyperbole or refer to a continuously increasing weight (A limited weight that will grow forever in that aspect).
Immeasurable - - -

Lifting objects that transcend basic three-dimensional space, such as entire spacetime continuums or entities inhabiting qualitatively superior levels of existence, represents a scale beyond infinite mass. This includes characters capable of manipulating or moving constructs that surpass conventional material objects.

It's crucial to note that characters existing as living spacetime continuums do not inherently qualify for this classification. Spacetime itself lacks mass and does not interact with opposing forces unless specifically stated otherwise. Therefore, merely existing as a spacetime continuum does not provide a measurable value for Lifting Strength..

Note: The latter two levels are acknowledged as hypothetical and literally impossible in real life. Their significance lies in their value within their respective fictional universes and how their portrayal in one narrative context might compare or translate into another distinct fictional universe.
