In real life that is, they're unrealistic to start with but if they existed how strong are they compared to average humans? Could a protoss zealot take down a very muscular well built human without the use of shields and psi-blades? I wonder how strong an average protoss is compared to an average human.

Marines are humans with guns in space armor and they get 3 hit by the psi-blades...

They fight marines all the time and kill them within seconds, but if they didn't have their blades and marines still had guns I bet it would still kill a marine.

alright
to put it into perspective an average human is probably as strong as one of those "civilians" you see in the campaign or in UMS games; that is, can only take it in the ass and cannot dish any back in return.

whereas the protoss have fast ass dudes that make usain bolt look like a limp dog, and with the single strike of a pointy thing attached to their arm can do as much, maybe 1 point more, damage to normal humans with small armor as a futuristic tank's gigantic shell.

tl;dr : protoss are like hercules on stim.

What more do you need to know? They're 3m tall beasts with big ass blades that can cause significant damage to the armor of a siege tank.

They even have shields that regenerate after taking damage, and their brains are so developed that they don't even have to speak.

Zealots are weak as shit man, they wear turbo suits. They are just templar who weren't smart enough to get high or cool enough to bend light.

Apparently zealots train themselves in hand-to-hand combat for decades.

Yea I think zealots win. And if not, they'll own you when they become a dragoon.

I mean their waist is like 15 inches max. And that wee stringy body? They would be hard pressed to combat Earth's gravity, let alone a person.

yeah they could probably take out a couple well built humans. theyre damn tall and have enough strength to carry all that armor and blades. then again you dont know if protoss tech makes all that stuff really light.

that's only because fire rapes shields and since protoss are like plants essentially, they burn good.
