This might sound silly since it’s essentially the same character, but there’s no denying that some version of Michael seem much stronger and durable than others.
To me, the Michael from Halloween 4 and the one from Halloween 6 seemed the strongest, tho i don’t know who’s stronger between those two. So what do you think? Which version of Michael did you like best and which seemed the strongest to you?
Without mentioning pro wrestler Tyler Mane, who I think was just too big, George Wilbur IMO would be the strongest of all guys to play him.
You know, it’s interesting you say that because the same guy played him in 4 and 6, George Wilbur. To me, the strongest is clearly Tyler mane from the Rob Zombie movies, as much as I hate them, and that portrayal of Michael ha ha
Yes, i was aware of that haha. I actually meant in-character strength, you know, the strength portrayed in the movie itself. For example, Michael in H20 seems like he wasn’t nearly as durable as he was in H6 (he got knocked out for a little by a girl with a stone and by a fire extinguisher by Laurie, which I can’t see happening with Michael from part 4 or 6). I hope you get what I’m trying to say haha. Also, which portrayal do you think is the best?
part 4 michael was the most brutual imo
Castle/Warlock for the win in the “Best” category. By a country mile imo 
Oh yeah, Nick castle has got to be my favorite Myers. Just something about the way he would stand there stalking someone, and the way he moved.
In terms of physical strength, I’d say Tyler Mane in the RZ movies. The dude lifted a CAR and smashed through walls! That’s brutal!
In terms of invulnerability, I’d say H2 Myers. He took two headshots and was set on fire and still sorta kept coming.
Curse of Michael Myers one could literally rip out a human head with his bare hands. He was by far the strongest.
fun fact: your average car, especially the one he lifted is around 3,000 pounds, lifting it with both his hands using full arm strength. it would take over 3,000 pounds of force to push through the thickest part of the human scull using something small and blunt, h4 Michael did that with just his thumb!
According to a study, you only need 520 pounds of force to crush a human skull (which is still a lot), so I don’t think it would take 3,000 pounds of force to push a thumb through a skull.
But I agree. The H4 Michael is definitely the strongest.
thats a bit different though, something very small in surface area, such as a thumb in this case, obviously thumbs are blunt and round, which would take much, much more force to push through. something being crushed with larger surface area being pushed on to it, will take less pounds of force than punctured with something small and round, especially on the thickest part of a scull.
i think that might have been the strongest thing Michael did in h4, can’t remember a kill that took more force
I’ve always considered 1, 4, and 6 to be the most boogeyman like and supernatural of the various incarnations of the shape, followed by 2.
Part 4 Shape took the most damage and still kept on coming and was supernaturally strong. Part 6 Shape had even more feats of strength, and there was also that supernatural incident with the washing machine running with the power to the entire house off. The original Halloween Shape had a bunch of little supernatural bits like that closet door opening on its’ own to reveal Lynda’s corpse, but in terms of what The Shape does, he carried that huge Judith tombstone into that station wagon and then from it to the Wallace house and up the stairs which is superhuman strength, and he kept on taking worse and worse damage and coming back from it as time went on (knitting needle to the neck to stabbed in the eye and chef’s knife to the gut, to six point blank shots from a pistol), pretty soon he’d come back from a rocket launcher to the chest.
Aside from the ending being less open ended than the rest of the original six, the Halloween II Shape took the most damage next to part IV and kept on coming, you also have several superhuman feats of strength. The only downfall was trying to close off the series and giving him a the whole Laurie=sister motive, both making him seem more human.
Part V was the least impressive of the original six despite the open ending and the supernatural/occult aspects.
To me though 1, 4, and 6 seemed the most unstoppable, but part IV Shape didn’t have any temporary “losses”/setbacks unlike the others. The only time he went down briefly was after the truck ramming, which was more impressive than part VI Shape being smacked down the stairs.
None of the other series versions really compare to the original six. Resurrection took the worst damage at the end (massive electrocution followed by being engulfed in a huge fire) only to come back (eyes open at the end), but he was knocked back by Busta Rhymes of all people using movie kung fu.
Tyler Mane by far lol Michael was actually weak imo in H20 and h7. H6 he was very strong and beefy as well
In a fight between the Michael from H4 and the one from H6, who do you think would win? Both have incredible strength feats, like H4 MM penetrating someone’s skull with his thumb or crushing a dude’s head and H6 MM pushing a doctor’s head through a gate so it turned to mush (it can be seen in the director’s cut, much more graphic) and of course him throwing away Tommy with one hand lol
Actually, the smaller surface area,the greater the pressure so it would take less force.
it really depends on the object you’re using, assuming they did that crush test, with a hard flat surface being pushed onto a skull, and take into a account were the force was applied on the skull. it really varies, a thumb being pushed through the thickest part of the skull, being the forehead, is different than if they tested that, and they used a solid metal rod and pushed it through a skull. but yeah whatever, I don’t wanna go back and fourth on it, my point was he’s the strongest because he has that much power in just his thumb! 
I think they’re matched in strength, but H6 Myers seems faster.
But H4 Myers seems more durable, no?
To me, michael has ulimated potential because he is not a man, he is a force. The greatest display of strength is in h4 imo.
