Snippets: Fantastic Four

Hi! Today, I'm going to show you two snippets; one from Fantastic Four #2, and one from the Marvel Wiki. Here's the snippet from Fantastic Four #2, when the Super-Skrull is demonstrating his powers to the Skrull king (click on it for a larger view):

Pretty normal, right? (Well, normal for comicbooks) But, the snippet from the Marvel Wiki says:
"Over the years, through rigerous training and further mutation, his strength dramatically increased to the point where he could lift roughly 85 tons. He has continued to exercise over the years using special equipment designed by Reed Richards. It is believed his strength has increased further, sufficient to lift at least 90 tons , and will continue to do say as a future version of the Thing states. However, The Thing has shown multiple feats of strength that would require a strength level far in excess of the ability to lift 100 tons such as successfully holding back a giant alien spacecraft from jettisoning from Earth [12] and stopping a multiple story building (weighing roughly 30,000 tons) from falling over and lifting it back into place [13]. "
My question is, why did the people at Marvel want to change it? They probably just decided that he wasn't strong enough, but I could be wrong. Does anybody know? Let me know in the comments. Чао!
