History SuperStrength / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' much like ''Street Fighter'' and ''Mortal Kombat'' has this all over the place. Those with the Devil Gene, such as Kazuya Mishima and his son Jin Kazama can respectively [[https://youtu.be/YfJM67BGgVg?t=2489 rip apart dinosaurs]] and [[https://youtu.be/b9rGtt0gmZg?t=343 smash Heihachi Mishima through limestone walls]] (which would require at least 20,300 PSI of force). There's also cyborg characters like Bryan Fury [[https://youtu.be/b9rGtt0gmZg?t=558 who can tear the turret off a tank]] or properly robotic characters like GentleGiant [=JACK=] who can [[https://youtu.be/rBFqWqImh24?t=393 destroy entire meteors]]. Even supposedly human characters are ridiculously strong e.g Nina and Anna Williams can [[https://youtu.be/D7W_-53grZo?t=88 kick grown men flying]], Steve Fox can [[https://youtu.be/lKHaMeTcVr4?t=1139 break reinforced glass]], Paul Phoenix can [[https://youtu.be/lKHaMeTcVr4?t=1056 shatter brick walls to pieces]], Craig Murdock can [[https://youtu.be/lKHaMeTcVr4?t=357 rip apart of the ropes of the wrestling arena]] with his bare hands, Raven can [[https://youtu.be/9wmkbtoC6tk?t=4271 chuck a massive mech around]] and Feng can [[https://youtu.be/lKHaMeTcVr4?t=1481 shatter a mountain apart]]. Can't forget Heihatchi either, despite being an old man [[https://youtu.be/vSr4ZyNuzog?t=47 he can break a hatchet with his teeth]], punch missiles around, demolish aforementioned [=JACK=] bots and amazingly go toe to toe and even [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu overpower]] his demonically-powered son and grandson[[note]] it is inferred Heihatchi has powerful KiManipulation, which justifies his strength but it's never really explained in the games[[/note]].

** Zangief has super strength aka "Muscle Power" which is a nuanced technique comparable to [[ShotoClone Ansatsuken]] in sheer power. In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' Zangief not only stops a BrainWashedAndCrazy Abel's charge by [[https://youtu.be/5APSwibO3lY?t=4371 landing in front of him and flexing]], [[https://youtu.be/5APSwibO3lY?t=4428 taking him down with a piledriver]], [[https://gfycat.com/scarcefrailfulmar forcing back Balrog's Gigaton Blow]] (which can kill a elephant) and [[WreckedWeapon breaking]] Satsuki's Masamune (which for reference was likely folded over 1000 times) '''[[https://youtu.be/AAysdVBhLEU?t=101 with his pecks!!!]]'''. This is probably not too surprising, considering Zangief wrestles ''Grizzly Bears'' in his spare time.

** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' Big Boss can [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/11120/111208372/4771058-9790906356-vOBEq.gif support the weight]] of a Metal Gear, though debatable whether ''he can'' actually do in the story since the feat is just a game mechanic.

* In ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' much like Street Fighter ''everybody'' has enhanced strength given how easily they can all [[https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CarelessQuestionableHorsefly-small.gif break bone]], [[https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/1330303222728276070.gif rip heads off]], [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/scale_super/11117/111179160/4360273-liu%20kanggif.gif punch through people]] and even [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/17fec150da0b1ce2bc25bf7a85a53b9a/tumblr_nocx73O8mN1qb5qxmo1_400.gif karate chop solid platinum]]. Some are even stronger than others, e.g Raiden a PhysicalGod [[https://youtu.be/WzwpocX4YQI?t=27 can smash through a bridge]] and Shao Khan can turn [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_XNfHRLSKQ people into human wishbones]].

** Akuma is somehow even more ridiculous, as he is normally he can: [[https://youtu.be/NAUNl7Qpp3U?t=9 split Uluru]], [[https://youtu.be/EKMICfeoxm0?t=9 destroy an island with a single fist]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUCm3qN75UI crush a submarine]] InASingleBound. In his {{Super Mode}}s Akuma is even stronger: as Shin Akuma [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/10/100471/2618420-159327_506297_shinakuma_end_super_super.jpg he destroyed a meteor]], as Oni he caused [[https://youtu.be/J4iAjYaxDz8?t=115 volcano to erupt with a karate chop]] and in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' [[https://youtu.be/Q3jlJbM6K5I?t=611 Oni destroyed the freaking moon]].

** Vergil, while he isn't as blatant as Dante is, still has crazy strength as well: in ''[=DMC3=]'' he sends Dante flying with [[https://c.tenor.com/ps0g6IATilAAAAAC/vergil-dante.gif the hilt of Yamato]] and later using the Beowulf gauntlets he [[https://youtu.be/UEkmsMLJ2dc?t=75 uppercuts the namesake monster's corpse into the air and then axe kicks him so hard Beowulf splits in two]]. [[spoiler: In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]'' Vergil even when weakened to point being almost dead, was still strong enough to [[https://youtu.be/GEyfOY9NsC8?t=87 rip off Nero's Devil Bringer arm]] like a chicken wing. When he regains his original body, Vergil [[https://youtu.be/CGCJJvr4FKw?t=66 can punt Dante across the room using Yamato in its scabbard]].]]

*** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'', Link picks up the [[AmplifierArtifact Silver Gauntlets]] in the second to final dungeon, which enables him to lift and toss boulders as tall himself, and push large statues aside. Then in TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon he picks up the ''[[UpToEleven Golden Gauntlets]]'' which enable him to uproot and throw massive basalt monoliths that must weigh a few hundred tons.

** Raiden from ''[=MGS4=]'' onwards is ridiculously strong thanks to his cybernetic upgrades, in said game he beats a dozen Geckos by swinging one around ''with his mouth''. Later he holds backs the entire [[https://youtu.be/KJEF2wGHtVM?t=164 titanic Outer Heaven Battleship by himself]] giving Snake enough time to escape though he loses both arms as a result, if that wasn't enough he then appears later ''still armless'' and fights off Haven Troops with just his sword clutched between his teeth. ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' takes this [[UpToEleven even further]] as in the very first level, [[https://youtu.be/-y3h61W2zZg?t=134 Raiden picks up Metal Gear RAY]] (which weighs over one thousand tons) and throws it over several buildings and then slices it head to toe like it's butter. In the final level while fighting Armstrong, he [[https://youtu.be/Tbd8VeerVjA?t=650 lifts]] ''the even bigger'' Metal Gear EXCELSUS throws it down and then tears off it's blade-legs off and [[{{BFS}} swings it around]] at [[BulletTime high speeds]]. It's safe to say Raiden is likely the strongest individual in the Metal Gear franchise.

* This is a basic power that the 8 Guardian Generals in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' have. The degree of how much it is depends on the general. Augus, Yasha, Asura, and Deus are shown to be physically the strongest, able to punch through legions of multi Kilometer Sized Gohma like wet tissue paper. Asura follows ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk principle of getting stronger as he gets angrier.

** Ryu not only put a permanent scar on Sagat's chest with {{Shoryuken}} but in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' he [[https://youtu.be/40ynohHxRyQ?t=41 lifts a 36 ton boulder with Oro sitting on top of it]]. In the comics Ryu [[https://i.imgur.com/fb0Jxar.jpg can make a crater with a punch]]. Not surprisingly Ryu teams up with ComicBook/TheHulk in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite''.

** Sonic is known best for his SuperSpeed, but he's also capable of sending cars flying like footballs. It's even more frequently apparent when his strength is shown in CutscenePowerToTheMax. In one part during the ending sequence of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'', he effortlessly ripped apart one of the badniks (along with its saw blade). In one cutscene for the Dark Story mode in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' when he's confronted by the Egg Golem, Sonic jumped and simply ''kicked'' its head so hard, that according to Eggman, he's broken its mechanism and caused its programming to malfunction. During the opening cinematic of ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'', at one point when Sonic shows up to start his assault on Eggman's armada and vessels, he brings ''one'' fist out and starts plowing through many of Eggman's mechs within seconds. It's pretty much safe to say that even though Sonic the Hedgehog is undoubtedly considered to be the FastestThingAlive, he's absolutely WAY [[StrongerThanTheyLook stronger than he appears to be]].

** ''Surprisingly'', Dr. Eggman himself. Usually he's a typical EvilGenius that creates various combat machines as well as HumongousMecha that do the fighting for him. But outside of his scientific range, even though [[StoutStrength he's on the obese side he can pack a mighty punch]]. Despite being ''human'', he can slam large vehicles out of his path and has even reduced blocks of ice into rubble with just his fists, basically out of sheer malice and vengeance, but it did slightly hurt his hands a little after doing so (not that he cared). It's no wonder why he's even listed as a Power-Type character in ''VideoGame/SonicRiders''.

* Mr. Sandman from ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' doesn't need a wrecking ball to demolish a brick building. He's strong enough to destroy it ''with his bare hands''! Plus, he can curl the ring ropes as if they were strings. By being able to defeat that monster, Little Mac has this by de facto.
** [[HulkingOut Giga Mac]], gives Mac even greater strength.

** Sonic is known best for his SuperSpeed, but he's also capable of sending cars flying like footballs. It's even more frequently apparent when his strength is shown in CutscenePowerToTheMax. In one part during the ending sequence of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'', he effortlessly ripped apart one of the badniks (along with its saw blade). In one cutscene for the Dark Story mode in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' when he's confronted by the Egg Golem, Sonic jumped and simply ''kicked'' its head so hard, that according to Eggman, he's broken its mechanism and caused its programming to malfunction. During the opening cinematic of ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'', at one point when Sonic shows up to start his assault on Eggman's armada and vessels, he brings ''one'' fist out and he plows through many of Eggman's mechs within seconds. It's pretty much safe to say that even though Sonic the Hedgehog is undoubtedly considered to be the FastestThingAlive, he's absolutely WAY [[StrongerThanTheyLook stronger than he appears to be]].
** In ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'', Shadow is able to dead lift a bus one-handed in one of the levels, while firing a rifle in the other hand. Busses can weigh as much as 20 tons.

** Due to taking the [[SuperSerum Prototype Virus]] [[BigBad Albert Wesker]] has this as seen in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'' and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 RE5]]'' where Wesker is shown [[https://youtu.be/8gdFJVa51Zs?t=134 capable of bending a steel pipe with his forearm]], [[https://youtu.be/8gdFJVa51Zs?t=232 breaking concrete with his fist]], lifting missiles with one hand, [[https://youtu.be/w7BwbqeuZ80?t=99 piercing through his enemies's torsos with his hand]], catching freaking [=RPG=]’s rockets with his hands and holding Chris with one hand [[NeckLift by the throat]] (three times), among other feats of strength. The man's practically a [[ImplacableMan living]], [[LightningBruiser breathing]] [[BackFromTheDead machine]] and shows almost no damage after having a crane full of steel girders dropped on his head. Then again, he's not exactly [[TheUndead human]] after the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil first game]], either.

** Solid Snake likely due to being a clone is incredibly strong, in [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Solid]] he can [[NeckSnap snap]] a man's neck with one arm as well as [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/14/147508/6074970-snake%20feat%20strength%20%282%29.gif beating his equally super-strong brother]] Liquid in a [[GoodOldFisticuffs fist fight]]. Most impressively in ''[=MGS4=]'' he can wield the massive [[https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/0/944/201456-rail_gun_mgs_4.jpg the Rail Gun]] which is like wielding a portable tank cannon and Snake easily uses it to destroy the entire Suicide GEKKO squad, despite being an old man.

** Ustanak from ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 RE6]]'' can send cars flying [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/14/147508/6093911-strength%20%285%29.gif while chasing Sherry and Jake]] and later on [[https://youtu.be/k6TmYoQU-Ms?t=49 force back a high-powered drill]].

** Jill Valentine (Chris’s partner) is the most prominent female example (aside from Helena from ''[=RE6=]'') as she is normally Jill can move heavy objects that Rebecca can't budge and Jill can even [[https://youtu.be/9o4GXchnKVI?t=25 push over the goddamn Nemesis]] from ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis RE3]]''. In the ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake RE3make]]'' Jill is strong enough to [[https://youtu.be/UU252UBG4Kw?t=4424 pull steel sheets down on Nemesis]] and [[https://youtu.be/UU252UBG4Kw?t=7009 wield the massive railgun]] like it's light furniture, WordOfGod touts this as being Jill's equivalent to Chris's aforementioned boulder punching scene. [[spoiler: When she’s BrainwashedAndCrazy in ''[=RE5=]'' Jill has enhanced strength similar to Wesker given Jill physically [[https://youtu.be/ZNDxv3dhutY?t=109 overpowered]] the muscular Chris, [[https://youtu.be/HFFq6mN8uo0?t=280 twice]].]]

* ''Franchise/{{EXTRAPOWER}}'' has a few heroes whose claim to fame includes SuperStrength. Among the most prominent examples is the brave hero Zophy, whose strength has reached legendary status. In ''[[VideoGame/EXTRAPOWERGiantFist Giant Fist]]'', this strength manifests in his ability to punch through endless waves of enemies, and throw foes around effortlessly whether or not they're human goons, Jeeps, rampaging elephants, or creatures made of solid rock.

** Sonic is known best for his SuperSpeed, but he's also capable of sending cars flying like footballs. It's even more frequently apparent when his strength is shown in CutscenePowerToTheMax. In one part during the ending sequence of ''VideoGame/SonicCD'', he effortlessly ripped apart one of the badniks (along with its saw blade). In one cutscene for the Dark Story mode in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' when he's confronted by the Egg Golem, Sonic jumped and simply ''kicked'' its head so hard, that according to Eggman, he's broken its mechanism and caused its programming to malfunction. During the opening cinematic of ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'', at one point when Sonic shows up to start his assault on Eggman's armada and vessels, he brings ''one'' fist out and he plows through many of Eggman's mechs within seconds. It's pretty much safe to say that even though Sonic the Hedgehog is undoubtedly considered to be the FastestThingAlive, he's absolutely WAY [[StrongerThanTheyLook stronger than he appears to be]].

* ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters:

* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' pretty everybody since EverybodyWasKungFuFighting, though even then some are more extreme than others.

** The {{BFS}} wielding Dante is the most prominent example and his strength just becomes more extreme as the games go on. In his first [[https://youtu.be/VSNb6944cE8?t=109 scene]] in ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3 DMC3]]'' Dante destroys a demon by simply shoving him into a wall, crushes a jukebox, kicks a pool table around and when Dante activates his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] he [[https://youtu.be/DReUg3OY2Us?t=35 destroys a stone pillar]] ''[[DoesNotKnowHIsOwnStrength accidentally]]''. ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry4 DMC4]]'' takes this trope even further with Dante who not only does a PunchCatch [[https://youtu.be/3aUCq4zXOGI?t=16 to Nero's Devil Bringer arm]] and forces him back, but also [[https://youtu.be/txTTMFGy9YE?t=58 holds Echidna's jaws open]], destroys a Hell Gate [[https://youtu.be/uiPaI57rWeM?t=44 with a one inch-punch]] using Gilgamesh and even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P20NR6cf4-0 stops the gigantic Savior's fist without his Devil Trigger!]]

** Other B.O.Ws like Lickers and Hunters have a degree super strength as well. However the G-Creature (aka William Birkin) in particular gives the Tyrants a run for their money, in fact Birkin in ''[=RE2make=]'' could not only [[https://youtu.be/0Uk2OlbPVLs?t=165 hold back a cargo container]] but also [[https://youtu.be/irztxdbLB3g?t=184 pick up massive canisters and throw them]] and even [[https://youtu.be/4tQVzJlVS0I?t=258 tear down a whole wall of the laboratory]]. Not to mention Birkin also [[https://youtu.be/l03dUuNW-EU?t=30 tears]] the aforementioned Mr X apart.

** Sonic is known best for his SuperSpeed, but he's also capable of sending cars flying like footballs. It's even more frequently apparent when his strength is shown in CutscenePowerToTheMax. In one part during the ending sequence of ''VideoGame/SonicCD'', he effortlessly ripped apart one of the badniks (along with its saw blade). In one cutscene for the Dark Story mode in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' when he's confronted by the Egg Golem, Sonic jumped and simply ''kicked'' its head so hard, that according to Eggman, he's broken its mechanism and caused its programming to malfunction. During the opening cinematic of ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' at one point while raiding on Eggman's vessels, he brings ''one'' fist out and he plows through many of Eggman's mechs within seconds. It's pretty much safe to say that even though Sonic the Hedgehog is undoubtedly considered to be the FastestThingAlive, he's absolutely WAY [[StrongerThanTheyLook stronger than he appears to be]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'':

** Tifa Lockhart easily rivals [=SOLDIER=]'s strength with her own CharlesAtlasSuperPower, in-game her '''Meteor Strike''' limit break can [[WrestlerInAllofUs piledrive]] ''anyone'' this [[https://youtu.be/XFBo5lIsJ88?t=39 includes bosses like Diamond Weapon]] who could easily weigh several thousands tons. ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' measured Tifa in ''Anime/AdventChildren'' could [[FastballSpecial throw]] Cloud (along with his massive Fusion Sword) with enough force [[https://youtu.be/hRoC_SF7YgE?t=51 to break the sound barrier]]. In the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake remake]], we see Tifa smash [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=8052 several]] [[https://youtu.be/51INY9-RPjQ?t=203 Shinra mechs]], [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EzOUyoRO1mk/XtFcStoOrzI/AAAAAAAAQGY/I7xO0Yz3xx8VcXYtbaVW0i6J2p6V-djKACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Tifa-FFVII-Remake-3.gif send]] [[https://youtu.be/2s35Sw4L-Oc?t=717 huge monsters flying]], kick falling construction pipes [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=18869 out of the air]], support Cloud's entire weight [[https://youtu.be/8Gv-RNmsrJQ?t=43 with one arm]], break apart a gigantic chunk of rubble [[https://youtu.be/cM34EXnSQzI?t=243 with a somersault kick]] and even [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=31617 knock back]] a PhysicalGod like Sephiroth.

** Nero similarly has demonic strength [[spoiler: due to being Vergil's son]] in his first game [[https://gfycat.com/boringdevotedicterinewarbler he punched a demon so hard it went flying]], [[https://youtu.be/PGj2rygauSw?t=289 knocked over a huge stone sword with his legs]], [[https://i.imgur.com/JFJVznc.mp4 matches Breial’s BFS with his smaller sword]] and with his Devil Bringer Nero even briefly [[https://youtu.be/PGj2rygauSw?t=671 overpowers Dante]] (though Dante was holding back [[spoiler: so he wouldn't hurt his nephew).]] [[spoiler: When Nero gets his Devil Trigger he [[https://youtu.be/Pcb50ZqF9aQ?t=123 physically stops both Dante and Vergil]] simultaneously]].

** The Super Mutants in ''Fallout'' are essentially an army of Incredible Hulks packing firepower and their strength can be a pain in the ass when your a lower level and the Super Mutant Behemoth are a threat no matter how high level you are. Deathclaws also have superior strength given how ''easily'' they can rip you to shreds in about three or two swipes.

** The Tyrants are the most prominent B.O.W example, even the first Tyrant from ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 RE1]]'' could [[https://youtu.be/n58H0ZS2eww?t=2334 bust through concrete from underground]], T-00 aka [[FanNickName Mr X]] from ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 RE2]]'' is even more ridiculous as not only can he smash through walls but in the ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake RE2make]]'', Mr X can [[https://youtu.be/6ouGEjNYLOw?t=19 lift a helicopter]] (mostly likely 14,000 pounds) ''one handed''. If Mr X gets his hands on Leon or Claire and they can't loosen his grip with a [[PressXToNotDie QTE]], he'll [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0m3UT7Y-YWg/XijFUS7j_JI/AAAAAAAAEOI/XWrrgFrFSPUa9vOoBUULRfNcoFZEaVPhwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Mr%2BX%2B4.gif crush their skulls like watermelons]].

** Vergil, while he isn't as blatant as Dante is, still has crazy strength as well: in ''[=DMC3=]'' he sends Dante flying with [[https://gfycat.com/flawlessdisfiguredimpala the hilt of Yamato]] and later using the Beowulf gauntlets he [[https://youtu.be/UEkmsMLJ2dc?t=75 uppercuts the namesake monster's corpse into the air and then axe kicks him so hard Beowulf splits in two]]. [[spoiler: In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]'' Vergil even when weakened to point being almost dead, was still strong enough to [[https://youtu.be/GEyfOY9NsC8?t=87 rip off Nero's Devil Bringer arm]] like a chicken wing. When he regains his original body, Vergil [[https://youtu.be/CGCJJvr4FKw?t=66 can punt Dante across the room using Yamato in its scabbard]].]]

** Nero similarly has demonic strength [[spoiler: due to being Vergil's son]] in his first game [[https://gfycat.com/boringdevotedicterinewarbler he punched a demon so hard it went flying]], [[https://gfycat.com/identicalpresenthyena knocked over a huge stone sword with his legs]], [[https://gfycat.com/pointedkaleidoscopicdrongo matches Breial’s BFS with his smaller sword]] and with his Devil Bringer Nero even briefly [[https://youtu.be/PGj2rygauSw?t=671 overpowers Dante]] (though Dante was holding back [[spoiler: so he wouldn't hurt his nephew).]] [[spoiler: When Nero gets his Devil Trigger he [[https://youtu.be/Pcb50ZqF9aQ?t=123 physically stops both Dante and Vergil]] simultaneously]].

* The Doomguy from ''Franchise/{{DOOM}}'' is capable of carrying a massive array of huge guns, along with the amount of ammunition required for them as well. In terms of combat, he is capable of punching zombies to death with his bare fists, and when powered up with the Berserk Pack, [[LudicrousGibs reducing anything less than a Pinky to red slop on the floor with a single punch.]], but [[VideoGame/DOOM2016 2016 his reappearance]], now known as Doom Slayer somehow buffs up his already inhuman strength to demon-busting levels. The Doom Slayer can [[https://gfycat.com/unfoldeduntriedhoki punch through]] the BioArmor of demon-mechs, rips and tears demons into shreds, [[https://gfycat.com/memorablesociableangelwingmussel kick off the horn of the Cyberdemon and smash his face with it]], and open [[https://streamable.com/u5ixe several]] [[https://gfycat.com/alertselfassuredgalapagospenguin armored]] [[https://gfycat.com/slowelectricaustrianpinscher blast doors]]. You might think this all due to PoweredArmour [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman giving]] Doom Slayer enhanced strength, but you'd be wrong as even when buck-naked [[https://streamable.com/hc5gz Doom Slayer is powerful enough to break iron chains and crush a Possessed's skull]].

** Cloud Strife the main character, has his own [[{{BFS}} massive sword]] (not as long as Seph's Masamune, but wider and almost certainly heavier), and wields it with similar ease. Worth noting even [[BadassNormal before]] Cloud got the BioAugmentation from Hojo, he could not only wield the Buster Sword, but also [[https://gfycat.com/carefulsharpbullmastiff lift Sephiroth up by his own Masamune]] [[PullYourselfDowntheSpear despite being impaled by it at the time]] and toss his ass down into the Mako reactor. In the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' we see Cloud: lift [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=1030 stone slabs]] and [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=19758 girders]] off [[ThirdOptionLoveInterest Jessie]] with little effort, [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=5161 kick a motorbike so hard]] it makes the SuperSoldier who was riding it fly off, [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=29190 knock mooks back by smashing his BFS into the ground]], bury said BFS into [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=18174 concrete]] and [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=29843 reinforced glass]] and [[https://youtu.be/a-mE7fhkzao?t=31529 cut trains and other building-sized rubble]] thrown by Sephiroth into pieces. In ''Anime/AdventChildren'' Cloud is strong enough to [[https://youtu.be/hRoC_SF7YgE?t=104 slice open]] the humongous super dragon Bahamut Sin.

** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' Big Boss can [[https://gfycat.com/idlelonelyfallowdeer support the weight]] of a Metal Gear, though debatable whether ''he can'' actually do in the story since the feat is just a game mechanic.

** It overlaps with CharlesAtlasSuperPower but Chris Redfield has super strength in ''[=RE5=]'' and onward which he gained after going through TrainingFromHell so he could hold his own against the aforementioned Wesker. Chris is now capable of [[https://thumbs.gfycat.com/UnselfishFixedAvocet-size_restricted.gif sending enemies flying with a haymaker]], [[https://i.makeagif.com/media/5-10-2016/u-f4ZP.gif punching through bullet proof glass]] [[https://i.makeagif.com/media/7-08-2014/EqSujU.gif tossing B.O.Ws around]], [[https://gfycat.com/angelichelplessharlequinbug holding cargo bay doors open]] and in Chris's most awesome (and [[MemeticMutation ridiculous]]) moment dislodging ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xuXkVzBdJQ a fucking boulder with his fist!]]''. Even in the relatively more grounded ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil RE7]]'' Chris can still [[https://youtu.be/C3tfVATuTQA?t=92 explode a Molded's head with a single punch]], something [[BadassNormal Ethan]] cannot do in the main game. In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' Chris can take down the massive Uriaș Străjer with just his knife, which is par for the course from him at this point.

** Zangief has super strength aka "Muscle Power" which is a nuanced technique comparable to [[ShotoClone Ansatsuken]] in sheer power. In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' Zangief not only stops a BrainWashedAndCrazy Abel's charge by [[https://youtu.be/5APSwibO3lY?t=4371 landing in front of him and flexing]], [[https://gfycat.com/abandonedringedglowworm taking him down with a piledriver]], [[https://gfycat.com/scarcefrailfulmar forcing back Balrog's Gigaton Blow]] (which can kill a elephant) and [[WreckedWeapon breaking]] Satsuki's Masamune (which for reference was likely folded over 1000 times) '''[[https://youtu.be/AAysdVBhLEU?t=101 with his pecks!!!]]'''.
