    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11750 issues.

    During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum. Enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical potential and armed with an unbreakable shield, he became Captain America. After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.

    is he the strongest human on earth?

    There are others who also received the Super-Soldier serum like Protocide.

    Well there are numerous characters that have been given the Super Soldier Serum, Protocide (as mentioned by comicman), then there are those characters that got their powers other ways like US Agent, although he originally had superhuman strength because of his powers given to him by the Power Broker. But I believe that's been retconned and Agent is just another guy who was given S3. Then you have the Grand Director.

    He's not "THE" strongest human on earth, he's just at "peak condition" than a average human. But he can be considered at "low-level superhuman" strength. He can lift around 1100 pounds (500 kg) and run a mile (1.6 km) in a minute.

    the answer is yes steve rogers is the strongest normal human to ever live. Cap is peak human and he defines peak human. anyone who is stronger than him is metahuman they in some way have a power or are given a power.  
     
    so think of the world strongest man on TV cap is stronger than the champion or at that level. 
    think of every world record for human speed strength and endurence and cap is slightly better than that or equal to that 
     
    he is also evolving with time.........so like in 10 years from now when all the world records are broken guess what caps strengh goes up with the times

    I think I'm safe in assuming you took those stats directly from wikipedia. On Wiki it actually said he could bench press 1100 pounds. If he can bench that much he can actually lift more. BTW, the record for Bench Press according to them is 1075. So if that's true that would make him the World Record Holder.

    Protocide is more powerful. Steve was weak and had no muscle when he got the SS formula giving him uber muscles, Protocide had tons pf muscles already, which bounces him even higher

    steve is as strong as the human form can be. His muscles are as efficient, strong and perfect as can be for a non superpowered human or mutant. I'm sure kingpin is strong but i don't think he can exercise his muscles to such perfection.

    No.
    maybe in the Marvel universe and that's a big maybe, but others have received the Super Soldier Serum too. Also imo if your strength is augmented by an outside agent (like the Serum) then you are a Meta-Human.
     
    Karate Kid or Batman (are real peak non-meta's, they attained that level without using a drug, unlike Cap)

    Cap has superhuman endurance making him technically superhuman. Kingpin is the strongest human that has not been enhanced in any way. Kingpins strength is simply from genetics and training.

    He's not supposed to be but by a few of his feats i can see why people would get the impression.
    He's been the hero and star of comics for a VERY long time. As a result he's ended up in many situations
    where writers took liberties with what he could do in order to make the scene look more "wow". In other
    words, Steve is a character that suffers from " cartoon-" or " Superman Prime-" "-complex", whereas he
    can pull something at times out of thin air that he should for all arguments not be able to do. By most
    Handbook entries he's " peak "...but at peak say, lifting and throwing either Terrax or Big Bertha, whom
    are both in excess of 2,000 lbs., Terrax very much so in fact, " the rules " get a little fuzzy.

    Most Handbooks say that Cap can exert himself at maximum for hours without tiring. This is definitely superhuman endurance which makes him super/ultra/meta/human.
