In testament to the strength of these Spartans, Cal-141 could negate Gravity Hammer swings with a single blow and Naomi-010 defeated a Jiraelhanae with a single uppercut, breaking it's spine as well.

Spartan augmentations evolve over time, increasing over the years. Geneseed augmentation does not. It is clear, Supahbadmarine, which posthuman is inferior. .

Spartan-III applicants are even more advanced than the Spartan-III, their survivability going up to 100%. Compare to Asartes survival rates during augmentation.

Spartan-IV are highly trained Veterans, quite numerous as well.

Power Armor is also inferior to MJOLNIR. You just can't argue this one. In fact, I'd like to you try to.

MARK VI MJOLNIR is hardened against EMP and Radiation, composed of alloys coated in a refractive substance to disperse energy and explosive weapons, has a Mind Impulse unit, is energy shielded, able to link with a AI, self-healing via biofoam, has Armor Abilities and can self-upgrade.

That's standard issue for a Spartan. Hands-down, the Astartes have no chance against a Spartan-II in MJOLNIR. Space Marines run 80km/h max I believe.

Space Marines regularly obliterate people with simple punches and kicks.

Survival rates during implantation are irrelevant to actual fights. They just weed out the best.

Space Marines are better veterans than Spartans, primarily due to having centuries of experience against a wide variety of foes. And constant training when not in battle.

MJOLNIR falls to the equivalent of standard NATO rounds easily. Space Marine Power Armour regularly tanks Lasguns, which are able to blow off limbs and punch through metres of concrete, and Boltguns which evaporate people with a torso shot. The levels of firepower Power Armour tanks is above and beyond anythign MJOLNIR has been shown to tank. The only thing it has over Power Armour is regenerative shielding, which will make little difference in a fight with a Space Marine as the Spartan will be dead before it can regen.
