How physically strong are the DBZ characters?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

I can't really put it to words I'd just say agree with Roshi, except for the Superman part

Oh good god - let's end this quickly: Superman (except for that small window of time in the 80s where I liked him) has no limit to his strength. He juggles planets. Superman is stronger than anything. No more Superman talk! :x

It's incredibly hard to pin down any number ob their strength, but we can see that their ki powers usually hurt their enemies about as much as their physical attacks (at least in the same ballpark). So, I'd wager if a character can blow up a planet with a ki blast, then he could probably punch it an leave one hell of a crack.

No, none has the power to do so.
Bulked-up Cell would've destroyed Earth with his punch when missing SSJ 2 Gohan during their fight. That never was the case, he just made a hole.

Sure, the shockwave of the punch might do a lot of damage, but it sure wouldn't make it through Earth, not even into it's core, and if it would reach to the core, I doubt it would be able to harm it that much.

In the case of Roshi's Kamehameha, the Ki travelled all the way to the mon and blew it up. If someone would punch with that energy, it wouldn't make such deep big hole at all.

Aahh, I love speculation!

The Moon doesn't have a liquid core like the Earth does. The Moon is solid all the way through, so it can be shattered.

If that happened everyone would die! lets use common sense and realize a lot of things should happen in a battle and it doesn't because it effects the story. :)
