Also Called

• Exceptional Strength
• Superior Human Strength
• Immense Human Strength
• Nigh/Near-Enhanced Strength
• Maximum Human Strength

Capabilities

Users' strength is at the maximum limit of human conditioning. They are capable of over-head lifting several times their own body weight (2 times at the minimum), up to an 800-1,000 lbs level (about 360 to 500 kg) and bench-press up to 1,100-1,500 lbs level (about 500 to 680 kg). They would be able to surpass feats of any Olympic class weightlifter, allowing them to lift objects on their own that would normally require multiple people, break thin chains or steel cuffs, bend metal bars, and break down doors and walls with a single strike.

Offensively, the user is able to knock people out with one offensive impact, tear limbs off, crush skulls, overpower multiple opponents, punch an enemy through a thin brick wall, lifting a full-grown person in the air with one arm, and even throwing them several meters. For some users, their strength is strong enough to wrestle or even overpower wild animals such as large bears and gorillas.

Applications

• 100% Muscle Usage
• Critical Impact
• Strength Combat

Limitations

• Enhanced or Supernatural Strength can easily overpower peak human strength, though it is not unheard of for a person with peak human strength to beat a person with super strength. Absolute Strength, on the other hand, can also easily overpower the users, but to a much higher extent.
• May damage/or hurt other people without meaning or noticing.
• Beings with either Enhanced or Supernatural Durability can easily withstand blows from peak humans.
• Weak against Strength Absorption, Muscle Mass Weakening, Strength/Muscle Manipulation, Strength Reduction, etc.

Notes

• The human limit of strength is considered to be 800-1,000 lbs (about 360 to 500 kg) over-head, and 1,100-1,500 lbs (about 500 to 680 kg) bench press.
• If a user with peak human strength was to have an adrenaline rush, it could push them into Enhanced Strength, but not to Supernatural Strength.
• It is, in fact, possible for females to go through intense body and muscle building and gain the strength of that particular level, at least depending on their endurance.
