Superhuman Strength is the passive ability to possess a level of strength beyond the natural limits of humans.
Overview[]
It is the ability for any creature to be stronger than normally possible given their proportions. Superhuman strength is derived from various mechanisms such as; battlesuits, cybernetics, genetic modification, telekinetic fields, and magic. Many heroes and villains usually have a degree of super strength. The level of strength portrayed can vary greatly, from just outside the "normal" human range of the strongest weightlifters of a given size or muscle mass, to nearly unlimited. In most portrayals, superhuman strength is usually accompanied by superhuman stamina and durability as well.
When users of super strength make contact with another user, or make contact with someone possessing enhanced resilience, a small shockwave can be seen, showcasing that the power possesses high amounts of force.
Known Users[]
Luther Hargreeves[]
Luther possesses immense strength, which was further amplified by his new ape-like physiology. As a child, he could easily lift and throw a fully grown adult across a room and through a window. He has shown he can lift more than a few thousand pounds as he once lifted up a farm truck enough to free Diego's trapped leg.[citation needed]
Lila Pitts[]
During her fight against Luther, Lila was able to copy his superhuman strength and use it to stop his fist and physically overpower him and throw him outside the house and smash the walls as she did.
Marcus Hargreeves[]
Marcus possesses super strength akin to Luther, able to fight on par with the latter, though additional years of training and a smaller body make him more agile than the latter.
