Can a terran marine...

lift cars, trees, huge rocks. etc. punch or run through walls? can a marine run through a hellion and make it tumble?

How powerful is the marine armor? I wonder.

I know the power suit gives strength, but can they move fast like a regular human with the power suit?

If yes then the marines have all the potential to go melee against enemies, like other humans, marines, zerglings, or even zealots.

Too bad they always use guns. I wanna see a melee weapon type for the marines at least in lores or single player campaign . If they can carry a tree, why not give them a gigantic electrical mace (ye no power sword) or something similar for a melee combat. I think they even can kill a zerling using only the marine power suit (hands, kicks, etc) what more with a devastating melee weapon.

What if they punch a zealot in the face? Im sure a marine punch can destroy a thick cement wall or even metal. Will the zealot or zergling face gets crash.

They're not British. They're rednecks.

Rednecks value their guns. Try to take them away, and they'll shoot you.

I'd know — I'm from the South.

but a large tree in your hand can help you better in some situation compared to 1 or two bullets against the aliens.

… wat

large tree or a street light post on marines hands smashing the poor zergling.

The marine's strength is definitely enhanced by the suit, but it's not to the degree that he would be able to lift a car over his head or pluck a pine tree out of the ground. The suit has its own structural limits. A punch might be enough to knock a zerglin' silly, but it's nowhere near enough to kill it or significantly damage it. The gun is the best thing to use.

I reckon they're powerful enough to allow a marine to wield a buster sword... a compact buster sword.

No matter how strong it is, it won't allow Marine to go toe-to-toe with Zealots. They are originally a hell lot stronger than humans and they have their own power suits(though I'm not sure it widens their physical strength).

The hydralisk has a melee animination, right? Well the marine, when upgraded, has a bayonet (it used to, at least), so why not use that in melee range?
