    All you have to do is check their hitpoints.
    It's a sad day indeed, then, when SCVs are more armoured than marines (in SC1).

    I think the Queen of Blades novel mentioned something about how Raynor needed his marine suit just to keep up with the dark templar in normal running. With that, I'd estimate that a suited marine is roughly of the same strength of a "naked" (unsuited) protoss, but much more clumsy due to their size (so that they could never actually match a protoss in hand to hand combat).

    lol, with the thought of Zealots throwing Hydralisks (which have 2000 muscles...) I can see Zealots ripping off tank hatches.

    Didn't read the entire thread but Zeratul seemed pretty physically strong when he jammed his psi blade down the hydralisks throat and stabbed another hydra through the head with its own claw in the WoL cinematic.

    The original StarCraft box put hydralisks at five meters. I have the box somewhere, but it also lists mass in kilograms, along with the protoss and marine. I wonder if anyone could find that, and if it would still be applicable to the units today?

    Although only 350 kg, is much still to be lifted above his head. protoss are thin because is without fat and organs such as digestive system and lungs, is also possible configuration of your muscles is more efficient than the human and has a greater number of muscles than us

    350 kg? Guess they're made of styrofoam rather then flesh and bone then.

    In that case it was more impressive when Tassadar carried a combat suit wearing Andre Madrid in his arms at the end of Revelations.

    EDIT: That box says 390kg though, not 350kg.
