The power in which one can exert great strength from their muscles. Also known as Hyper Strength, Super Strength or Superhuman Strength.
Capability
Hulk using his superhuman strength to create a shockwave
Can lift a couch effortlessly without strain, but a train engine car can be a slight challenge. Can crush small objects and toss a person a few feet. Advanced users can lift or move physical objects of titanic weight, such as whole buildings or even mountains.
Limitations
- Users are still limited by leverage and mass. An immensely long item may still be impossible to move.
- Many users attempting to stop or maneuver an object often break it before halting it.
Associations
Usually accompanied with Durability or other Bodily enhancements
Personality
Users of Enhanced Strength are often stereo-typical big-brother types, taking on more responsibility than is ever necessary, and many times carry a chip on their shoulder. Often they are caring individuals, not usually minding what many do to them, but never tolerating friends, or innocent bystanders to come to harm.
Villainous users of this power are mostly angry at the world, believing that they are owed something that can never be paid up. As a result, often these types will just break everything and anything they please, for their meager satisfaction. These personas are typically angry and hateful, without good reason.
Regardless of the size of the individuals' heart, the common theme with the Super Strong is that almost all of them absolutely love to fight. Comes with the territory, after all.
