[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 8379898, member: 82504"] There seem other factors involved than just the Square Cube Law. Lets examine the impact of that square cube (it affects movement rates and relative strength yup) . However lets examine that the tarantula starts out 20cm and 50grams? We enlarge it to 10x that or 200cm leg span and 50kg. So relative strength and movement would go down as the linear of the increase ie 1/10th. 1/10 x 250... aka still 25x relative strength. OK see that does not sound right did I mess something up? I picked a large species of spider and maybe it already had less relative strength but it is frequently the spider pattern for scary. edit: Confirming I picked a relatively weak spider to enlarge and used the relative strength of a much smaller spider too sigh edit: Awesome the research on spider strength is crap with some scientists saying that spiders can lift an average of 8 times their own weight, some say its 100 times and some say it is up to 170 times their own weight with variation further by species..... well if that isnt useless. And the strength of the strongest spider species I could quickly find info on (subject to the terrible research limits), Darwins Bark Spider enlarged to about a leg span like a humans height seems about well normal for human sized muscles LOL well that is less fun than spiderman stories lets ignore that for the myths and fantasy and superheroes.
