Math is the basis of any logical calculation. Screw Gods, I worship advanced mathematics.
However, no problem, and I hope such problems can be avoided. I had not realized the simple solution of using the mass-strength inequality of mammals as excuse for a nerf, in terms of strength, of Tsukune,

Deus promptly walks forward, and bitch-slaps Yang. "Old news, if you don't stick with us, your sister might as well cut her throat." Turning away, Deus opened a second gate, this one leading to a completely black, unformed area. He also created a piece of paper in his hand. "I'm going to need you to sign this. I've made it nice and simple, even added an escape clause if you grow suspicious. I'm going to need your signature. Purely red-tape stuff, but I can't access your memories without it. Or at least, anything more than surface thoughts and images."
For the duration of the trip down Memory Lane, or until the signer mentions the phrase "giggling goat", the being known as Deus ex Machina will be granted access to the singer's memories, unreserved. He may not tamper with, damage, lose, dispense, trade, or in any other way impinge upon the memories, or remove any memories from the signer, instead of simply copying information.
Upon signing, one commits their life and soul to the contract, and may not break it. Those that do will be destroyed by their own power, turned against them.

130.000 pounds? That's ridiculous. He'd be able to arm-wrestle the Hulk to the ground, and pick up tanks with one hand. And I'm using pounds to calculate, not lbs. That's 60 European tons, 60.000 kg. A heavy-ass tank is 30 tons, and that's a big Tiger Tank or something of the like. That level of strength would be insane, if we're trying to keep the power levels relatively low.
I think I'm going to severely downgrade his strength to about 1/50 of that amount. That leaves him with 1,2 tons, much more manageable.

Exactly. However, it would be quite silly if we were to state that if, for example, you were part ant, you would be unable to pick up anything heavier than a leaf. You're a lot friggin bigger than an ant, and thus the strength is comparative.
Basically, I'm attributing the strength of a human-sized Rhinoceros beetle to Tsukune, which is going to be his human weigh x850. I think you can see the problem, however.

Using the strength of the rhinoceros beetle as a base, for the weight of an average european, Tsukune should be able to carry more than 130.000 pounds. Even at 1/10th of the inherited strength, he'd be able to lift 13x that limit.
Look at my quote. This is the post.

What response were you looking for? I saw the post but to me it looks like your character is talking to himself
I meant the post in the OOC, just above the character sheet, where I state that if my calculations are correct, my character is massively overpowered, and able to carry more than 130.000 pounds.
Really? Are my posts invisible? Do I have to employ neon signs whenever I wish to communicate?

Also, let me warn everyone, that after discovering the difference between pounds and kilos....... Tsukune is a lot more powerful than I thought. If the GM believes he should be nerfed, I would happily do so.
Tsukune looked from the scientists to the hole in the wall, gesturing to the hole he'd just punched. "But I....." Sighing, Tsukune resigned himself to picking up weights. Walking up to the rack, he picked up 500 pounds with his left arm, lifting it easily. He threw it up and down, catching it with ease. In fact, he was having a hard time believing it was 500 pounds in his hand, and not 5. "Well, I guess I can lift this pretty easy." Tsukune picked up another 500 pound weight in his other hand, and lifted them up and down. In fact, they were quite light, and he was having no trouble whatsoever.
