Super Strength

Strength far beyond any human limit.

Super strength, or superhuman strength, is the power to exert force and lift weights far beyond what is physically possible for an ordinary person. It is one of the most common abilities among DC Comics characters: Superman has had it since his first appearance in Action Comics #1 (1938). Fictional strongmen often echo ancient heroes such as Hercules, while some characters gain their strength by modifying the body with technology, as Cyborg does.
