Adeptus Astartes implants allow a Space Marine to run far faster than any average human, perhaps not reaching SPARTAN-II standards but getting extremely close.

Their dense muscle structure basically makes them reach a point of strength above even the strongest of non-mutant humans working together in groups of 4 or more.

Adeptus Astartes are capable of spitting acid which can melt through quite a few high-grade matierials due to the Bethcer's Gland.

Astartes are also known for having secondary hearts and multi-lungs which can breathe a variety of atmostpheres without any assistance.

Their senses are far beyond that of a human too, especially when adressing the effects of Lyman's Ear etc.

There is no way MJOLNIR is more advanced than power armour. Ceramite shows us effects similar to the alloys you have described, the Auto Senses and Black Carapace match the Mind Impulse unit as well as give the Astartes the ability to track their enemies with the readouts. It also contains auto-injection systems which keep the Astartes running in the most strict circumstances as well as fully sealed environmental systems.

Not to mention the waeponry we're dealing with here. It was shown in the novels to take a fair amount of time to kill a Brute with a standard UNSC projectile based weapon, Brutes are compared to having muscles like steel cables, hate to break it to you but Ceramite is far superior than steel.

Then comes the Bolter, how is MJOLNIR armour able to withstand a fully automatic weapon with armour piercing, extremely dense .75 Calibre explosive rounds.
