- "Look—humans can throw a 100 miles-per-hour fastball, smash concrete blocks with their heads, and run 4.2 forties. What they can't do is all of that at once. It's not so much physical as... as mentally impossible. Too much to coordinate."
- ― Batgirl #14 (May 2001)
- "We rewired you all biochemically. Gave you ramped up immune and cell repair systems. All the Black Widows have it. Your wounds heal four, maybe five times as fast as a normal human's would. You hardly get sick, you don't age as fast...Your hair doesn't fall out, your skin can take wind and sun without damage. In essence, You are perfect."
- ― Dr. Lyudmila Kudrin about the Red Room's variant Super Soldier Serum with Natalia Romanova (Marvel Comics)

Capabilities[]
Users possess all their capabilities, attributes and aspects at an advanced level, beyond that of the peak members of their own species. This means the user’s aspects (E.g., beauty, charisma, character and physique) attributes (E.g., physical and mental condition) as well as capabilities (E.g., potential, feats, skills and abilities, be it natural or supernatural) would be beyond that of standard individuals.
In human terms, this entails that an enhanced human would have an enhanced mental and physical condition, incredible judgement, knowledge, creativity, imagination and other cognitive and brain-related abilities as well as being able to lift weights and output strength even the strongest weightlifters couldn’t hope to achieve, moving at speeds similar to that of cars to even subsonic speeds, being immune to nigh-fatal damage and harm and performing at peak performance without tiring for long periods. In conclusion, the user is an all-rounder that is superior overall to practically all other members in their species and almost all beings in their universe.

- High standards may make it hard to relate to others, leading to a form of loneliness
- User may develop a superiority complex which can lead to underestimating opponents
- Self-esteem issues; live with the stigma of being “different" and stronger/faster/smarter than others
- May include enhanced nutrition requirements
- Some users may need a special Training Regimen to maintain their condition (or at least for their physical aspects)
- Friends and allies themselves may find its hard to keep up with the user's superiority condition needs and training regimen
- If the user uses Body Modification to gain enhanced condition, these special modifications may eventually cause body to deteriorate from side-effects (e.g. biological/physiology rejection, genetic abnormalities/mutation)
- Because of the Plateau Effect, the user may reach the peak of their physical/mental limits and never improve beyond that
- Like all Humans, the user will usually slow down and become less effective with age (starting in mid-30s or so, in most verses) unless they are an Old Prime or have some other superhuman ability to counter the aging process
