If A Person Had Skin, Organs, and Muscle With The Same Strength and Stretchiness as Spider Silk Would They Be Super Durable?

Spider silk has 5 times the tensile strength than steel at the same diameter strand. Steel is about 1 Newton per square meter compared to spider silk which about 5 newtons per square meter. Additionally, spider silk can elongate 35–50% its length before snapping compared to 8% steel.

So imagine a scifi alien humanoid of average height and weight with skin and muscle fibers that had those properties but weight is normal for a human (180 kilograms).

Would they have superhuman abilities at all?

My Analysis: Yes. I think. But to be truly super their bones would need to be stronger still than their muscles so the muscles  would not crush them. The bones would not be able to stretch like the muscle and organs, but they would need to be strong enough to withstand the pressure put upon them by the muscles.

 

Thoughts?

I assume they would be bullet proof more or less but it would still cause them pain if they were shot and they would get knocked down from the force alone.

So superman-lite basically. Super durable to piercing attacks, but still vulnerable to chemical and heat attacks.

No, most of the forces from a bullet are shear or compressive, not tensile.

I see... so they would need skin, muscle, and organs as strong as graphene.

Tensile strength is involved also, ask  level iv armor makers why they use aramid fiber and are researching things like spider silk

I'm going to put adamantium out there before another Wolverine fan does

You're a few orders of magnitude off.

They wouldn't be able to reproduce, and thus would got extinct in the very first generation.
