| 8 | [[caption-width-right:350:Whoever was peddling that "true strength comes from within" crap might have had a point...]] |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * Karalau and Tamaki in ''VideoGame/{{Aquapazza}}'' have it. One is a warrior who carries a BFS, the other is a schoolgirl who can do ''lots'' of [[WrestlerInAllOfUs German Suplexes]]. |
| 12 | * ''VideoGame/ArteryGearFusion'': Every Artery Gear is much, much stronger than the average human. Just a few punches from Quinn are enough to weaken the human commander severely. |
| 13 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Astal}}'', the title character punches a hole in the ocean floor during the opening sequence, and in-game does things like picking up and throwing trees. |
| 14 | * 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 the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] principle of getting stronger as he gets angrier. |
| 15 | * Super Strength is a powerup in ''[[VideoGame/BackyardSports Backyard Football]]''. |
| 16 | * At the beginning of ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'', Minsc [[BreakingTheBonds shatters the steel cage he is trapped in]] if you make him angry enough. |
| 17 | -->'''Minsc:''' ''The bars! They bend and twist with my berserker strength! Minsc and Boo are free!'' |
| 18 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'': |
| 19 | ** Despite being [[NoodlePeople unnaturally]] [[MusclesAreMeaningless slender]], Bayonetta displays a supernatural physical strength, [[CutscenePowerToTheMax particularly in cutscenes]], doing things like throwing an entire church at a gigantic angel and casually holding up a trolley car with one arm before tossing it several hundred feet into the air. |
| 20 | ** Rodin can have heavy objects like the lid of a coffin hit him without even flinching. As revealed in ''VideoGame/Bayonetta2'', he is powerful enough to oneshot demon {{mooks}} without even putting full effort in to it. |
| 21 | * Strength is an option in many ''Creator/{{Bethesda}}'' games. In the ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}'' games, it's a special skill you can raise and lower at the start, a high Strength skill means better carry weight capacity, heavy weapons handling and melee weapons and unarmed skill. By level 30 you can punch people apart with just [[BareFistedMonk your fists]] if you’re level 100 unarmed. |
| 22 | ** Strength even sometimes gives you special speech options where you inform someone how boss you are, especially in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' where the "The Terrifying Presence" perk which can send whole mobs cowering. |
| 23 | *** Doc Mitchell has some choice words if you make yourself a powerhouse. |
| 24 | --> "Surprised anybody'd want to tangle with you. Heck, you could go Deathclaw hunting with a switch". |
| 25 | ** The Super Mutants in ''Fallout'' are essentially an army of Incredible Hulks packing [[{{BFG}} massive firepower]] and their strength can be a pain in the ass when you're a lower level and the Super Mutant Behemoths 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. In ''VideoGame/Fallout2'', Frank Horrigan (a Enclave Super Mutant in PoweredArmor) empathises his strength by killing a Deathclaw with single punch. |
| 26 | ** The Giants in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' deserve a special mention as their club attack can send you and your companions [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fa/c5/57/fac557fdb6a24055d5f5e3e5a95057b5.gif ''into orbit'']]. This wasn't intentional and is a glitch but Bethesda liked it so much it stayed in the game. |
| 27 | * ''VideoGame/TheBizarreAdventuresOfWoodruffAndTheSchnibble'': Woodruff gets this power once you make the Strength Formula. It also seems to be permanent, as Woodruff doesn't need to repeat the Formula each time he needs to use this power, as he needs to do with all other Formulas. |
| 28 | * In ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', both {{Robo|tBuddy}} and Ayla display feats of massive strength: |
| 29 | ** In the factory level in 2300 AD, Robo holds a steel security door that must weigh several tons open. |
| 30 | ** Ayla can easily toss enemies larger than herself several meters up into the air. |
| 31 | ** In a combination technique, Ayla and Robo bat enemies larger than themselves back and forth like a baseball. |
| 32 | ** In another combination technique with [[AnIcePerson Marle]], Ayla hits the enemy with a chunk of ice that is at least five times her own size. |
| 33 | * ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' had this as a possible powerset for Brutes and Tankers, as well as implied super strength in the Titan Weapons powerset, as some of the weapons looked like they were ripped out of the ground. |
| 34 | * ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'' has the Might framework, with many super strength powers (including several that are delberately the same as ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' -- two-handed strikes, a hand clap, an uppercut, and even Rage-based mechanics). |
| 35 | * ''VideoGame/CuteBite'': To tell her mistress that her past self was feared for her strength, the Butler says: |
| 36 | --> In your full power you could tear bricks apart with your hands. |
| 37 | * ''VideoGame/DantesInferno'': Dante can grapple with and overpower demons, break chains, and topple buildings. |
| 38 | * In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', the standard ability of all demons is superior strength, though there are standouts. |
| 39 | ** The {{BFS}}-wielding Dante is the most prominent example and his strength just becomes more extreme as the series goes on. It's one of his superpowers that get [[ShowDontTell demonstrated more than it's told]]. In his first [[https://youtu.be/VSNb6944cE8?t=109 scene]] from ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening DMC3]]'', Dante destroys a demon by simply shoving it into a wall, crushes a jukebox, then kicks a pool table around. And after Dante acquires 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!]] In ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]'', he wields the equally-large [[CarFu chainsaw-motorcycle]] halves of the Cavaliere Devil Arm on each hand. Spin-offs may showcase this as well, such as in Episode 7 of [[Anime/DevilMayCryTheAnimatedSeries the 2007 anime]] where he effortlessly [[BreakingTheBonds breaks his handcuff chains]]. |
| 40 | ** 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/mkmzCLvRaSc?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]].]] |
| 41 | *** [[spoiler: Both Dante and Vergil [[https://youtu.be/EISskRZ5v_c?t=102 sent Nero flying]] with a combined OffhandBackhand]]. |
| 42 | ** 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 Berial’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]]. |
| 43 | ** Trish is the foremost female example since she's a demon as well, in her first scene she lifts a motorbike (likely 400 pounds) [[https://youtu.be/N3id4-OLTXw?t=154 over her head and throws it at Dante]]. |
| 44 | * 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 come his 2016 reappearance]], he, now known as the Doom Slayer, somehow buffed up his already inhuman strength to demon-busting levels. The Doom Slayer can [[https://gfycat.com/unfoldeduntriedhoki punch through]] the BioArmor of demon-mechs, rip and tear demons into shreds, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8ZEsmSNfrQ kick off the horn of the Cyberdemon and smash his face with it]], and open [[https://streamable.com/u5ixe several]] [[https://streamable.com/qidrt armored blast doors]]. You might think this all due to PoweredArmour [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman giving]] him enhanced strength, but you'd be wrong as even when buck-naked [[https://streamable.com/hc5gz he is still powerful enough to break iron chains and crush a Possessed's skull]]. |
| 45 | * Sven the Rogue Knight in ''VideoGame/Dota2''. He's ''extremely strong'' that his skill set includes: Throwing a magically enhanced gauntlet ''so strongly'' that the magical properties get ignored that the enemies in the area where it landed gets stunned; swinging his sword so strongly everyone nearby gets damaged with a big percentage of his strength, yelling so hard everyone gets a boost of speed and toughness, and ultimately, his God's Strength pumps up his already absurd strength to even more godlike levels, it's not that rare to see Sven whacking his enemies to death with his strength and bigass sword. |
| 46 | * In ''VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse'' the Future Warrior regardless of race: Earthling, Saiyan, Namekian, Frieza's race or Majin; will still be able to [[https://youtu.be/Ex4RftYl1Rc?t=165 grab a Great Ape by the tail and lift them up before slamming them down]]. |
| 47 | * In ''VideoGame/EarthAndSky'', Austin's [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman earthsuit]] gives him super strength and super toughness. |
| 48 | * ''VideoGame/{{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. |
| 49 | * ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': |
| 50 | ** All Summons have this, but Titan is the obvious example. |
| 51 | ** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', Sabin/Mash Rene Figaro is noteworthy for [[LoadBearingHero supporting a collapsing building and later a collapsing ceiling]]. [[https://youtu.be/FpPg5xmjYho?t=20 And for suplexing a friggin' train]]. |
| 52 | ** While a number of characters in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' have displayed {{Charles Atlas Superpower}}s, [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Sephiroth]], the main villain of the game, has explicit Super Strength, wielding his [[{{BFS}} 8-foot]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter Masamune]] as if it were a dagger, and at one point, [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome impaling a subway-train sized snake with a tree]]. |
| 53 | ** 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://i.imgur.com/sq3KKZO.mp4 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. |
| 54 | *** It appears the standard package for [=SOLDIERs=] and the other [[BioAugmentation Bioaugmented ]] {{Super Soldier}}s in the series is superior strength [[https://youtu.be/pInppxsP5g4?t=315 e.g Zack Fair]]. |
| 55 | ** Tifa Lockhart easily rivals [=SOLDIER=]'s strength with her own CharlesAtlasSuperPower even though her Limitbreaks are just an extreme exaggeration of her physical prowess and its obviously impossible for anyone to suplex a dragon or even a weapon beast. |
| 56 | ** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' several characters have super strength with [[TheBigGuy Kimahri]] being the most blatant, though even the 5'9 Tidus can NeckLift a dude. The winner is Auron though, [[https://youtu.be/MaQI1UKPppg?t=8 just see his Shooting Star attack]]. |
| 57 | * ''Franchise/FireEmblem'': |
| 58 | ** Ike from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'' holds a two handed sword with only one hand, can jump absurdly high and has shown to rival Zelgius in power, someone who can choke a grown-up with ease. |
| 59 | ** Dimitri from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' wields massive lancers taller than himself and has the highest strength growth in the game. InUniverse Dimitri's strength [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength interferes]] with day to day tasks, as when he asked his friend Mercedes to teach him needlework, he managed to ''break'' a pair of scissors and as a child he used [[WreckedWeapon snap swords]] while training with his best friend Felix. |
| 60 | * Gene from ''VideoGame/GodHand'' can lift and throw large crates, [[TelephonePolearm uproot a lamp post and clobber enemies senseless with it]], and regularly sends dudes [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom flying across the room]] or [[MegatonPunch into the Milky Way]]. |
| 61 | * Kratos from ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' can rip people in half, knock pillars over, and go toe-to-toe with various monsters and gods. Justified because [[spoiler: he is Zeus' son.]] In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarII'' after becoming a god proper, Kratos gains greater Super Strength as his core power; it takes time for him to build force, but no sliding door can stand in his way, given a few minutes and his BARE HANDS. By the time of ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'' Kratos is strong enough to rip a god's head off and kill the entire Greek Pantheon. Even when older in ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'' the first thing Kratos does in game is [[https://youtu.be/SDdPwLgc5GA?t=159 lift a whole tree over his shoulder]]. Later on in the same game, Kratos and the Stranger [[spoiler: aka Baldur]] during a BrawlerLock make [[https://youtu.be/vskcD3sOzAY?t=469 the very terrain split beneath their feet]]. |
| 62 | * From ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'', all of the Spartans are capable of lifting a few tons (Master Chief in ''VideoGame/Halo2'' drags a massive bomb out of an airlock) and running at inhuman speeds, thanks to their [[BioAugmentation augmentations]]. In ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' the Spartan [=III=]s can stagger Elites with punches to the face and perform a NeckSnap on them. Even the BadassNormal [[VideoGame/Halo3ODST ODST]] can wield Gatling Guns, overpower Brutes and Hunters like Spartans can, although [[SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration their melee attacks are weaker]]. |
| 63 | * It appears that every single character in ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'' has this. Most notable is the Producer in the "Decadence" chapter, who is capable of literally turning Jacket's entire head into paste with a single punch. |
| 64 | * ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'': Sol can have enhanced muscles as their augment, which [[{{Pun}} strengthens]] their Toughness and Combat skill gains by an extra 1 point. |
| 65 | * ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'': |
| 66 | ** Goro Daimon, a professional judoka, is strong enough to cause earth-shattering tremors with his bare hands and toss people dozens of feet into the air like sandbags. |
| 67 | ** The ''Ikari Warriors'', Ralf and Clark, are each their own OneManArmy. Ralf can punch hard enough to cause explosions and tear through tanks like paper. Clark is a grappler who can run around carrying people several heads taller like ragdolls, and then throw them into the sky with a few wrist movements. |
| 68 | * ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': King Dedede's hammer weighs close to a ton according to [[VideoGame/MetalGear Snake]] in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', but he can run and jump with it like it was nothing. In ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Ultra'' he mechanizes it into an even larger form, then there's his appearance in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' in which he tears a decorative ax off the wall that is three times longer than he is tall and wields that. More feats of King Dedede's inhuman strength for his boss fights are even more staggering for certain games such as ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', in his empowered muscular form when he TurnsRed, he's able to simply crush the thickened stone floor in his fortress with a powerful two-fisted overhead GroundPunch so hard, the force of the impact sends Kirby (and other characters who're with him) sailing into the air. For his boss battle as Forgo Dedede in ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'', he grabs ahold of '''an enormous stone pillar''', [[WeaponAcrossTheShoulder casually places it across his shoulder]], and actually uses it as a massive ImprovisedWeapon as another method to attack Kirby with. The sheer force of him slamming said pillar into the ground creates a swerve of jagged ice particles erupting from the floor in scattered directions. |
| 69 | ** A few of Kirby's [[PowerCopying Copy Abilities]] seem to include SuperStrength as a RequiredSecondaryPower; Hammer can launch foes into the sky, and [[SuplexFinisher Suplex]] and [[HurlItIntoTheSun Throw]] can be used on mini-bosses four times Kirby's size; In the ''Megaton Punch'' mini-game, Fighter Kirby punches the planet in half if you get a perfect score. |
| 70 | ** Meta Knight, Kirby's mysterious masked rival/ally, is a total powerhouse of a swordsman. With his trademark sword, Galaxia, he can chop incredibly large and durable obstacles to bits. The aforementioned obstacles that Kirby requires to his use [[MiniMecha Robobot Armor]] with and it's not just because his sword is an AbsurdlySharpBlade, he ''really'' is that physically powerful. Engaging in a SwordFight with Kirby multiple times clearly shows how much of a fierce opponent he truly is, since the pink puffball himself has destroyed dozens upon dozens of cosmic horrors and [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] on a daily basis. He's also defeated many bosses that are massive compared to him and usually comes out on top. |
| 71 | * [[MightyGlacier The]] [[TopHeavyGuy Tank]] from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' can pull chunks of concrete out of the ground and throw them at the survivors without a problem. [[TheJuggernaut It also has enough arm strength to punt cars and dumpsters out of its way]] and will send the survivors flying with every hit it lands. From the same game there's also [[DemonicSpiders The Witch]] who despite not having the muscle massive of The Tank, [[https://youtu.be/Z5g3mrK82VA?t=85 can smash through steel doors]]. |
| 72 | * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': |
| 73 | ** Ganondorf is not only a very dangerous magic user but also extremely physically powerful especially in his Ganon form. His feats include breaking free from heavy chains, destroying the floor of his throne room with one punch, destroying pillars which require the most powerful weapons for it to destroy with ease, [[DualWielding dual wielding]] huge swords, breaking free from a giant castle rubble and many more to list. Triforce of Power everyone. |
| 74 | ** Link in his many variations, is either at [[CharlesAtlasSuperPower peak physical condition]] or super human (Hylian). Even at his smallest in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' Link can swing a [[http://images.eurogamer.net/2013/usgamer/windwakerhd-spot3.jpg Darknut sword]] twice his size, and an even bigger in [[https://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda14/Walkthrough/10/1038.jpg sword]] in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword''. But the Link in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' is easily the physically strongest Link, working as a rancher he can stop charging bulls (likely going at 35 mph) ''with his bare hands'' and subdue them, later Link picks ups and throws Gorons who weigh as much as boulders and can toss the [[https://youtu.be/N_ugjacwTdA?t=2025 bigger Goron warrior Dangoro]] (''who is armored''). |
| 75 | *** In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'' Palutena's reveal [[https://youtu.be/NJVgttCNQ0k?t=49 trailer]], Link sends Pit flying with one kick. |
| 76 | *** 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 ''Golden Gauntlets'' which enable him to uproot and throw massive basalt monoliths that must weigh a few hundred tons. |
| 77 | ** Other races in ''Zelda'' have SuperStrength most notably the Gorons who eat rocks and toss around boulders as big as themselves, although being a boisterous and careless race this can lead to [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength hilarious and painful encounters]]. There's also the Four Giants in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' who can hold up the moon of Termia. |
| 78 | * Done subtly in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' with Commander Shepard, who is [[WeCanRebuildHim rebuilt]] with extensive cybernetic upgrades. The super strength isn't obvious, but Shepard is shown to be capable of wielding weapons that would be impossible for normal humans to use, i.e. a shotgun that would break normal humans' arms or carrying an antitank rifle that normally can only be fired while prone (or used by geth). Shepard can also lift and push aside heavy steel girders or debris, can punch out [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy krogan soldiers]] in hand-to-hand combat, knock out fully-armored soldiers with his/her bare fists in the ''Arrival'' DLC, and take on the Shadow Broker in hand-to-hand combat (the Shadow Broker being a [[spoiler: three meter tall alien massing several times that of a normal human]]). |
| 79 | * Several characters from ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'', most of which are ground type. Arguably the most obvious example being "Guts Man", who can pick up boulders as if they were pebbles and throw them with extreme force. Mega Man himself can hold up a 60,000 ton tower and lift cars in the Archie Comics. |
| 80 | * ''VideoGame/MetalGear'': |
| 81 | ** 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, [[https://youtu.be/_WVstq_DYYk?t=4529 throw a cyborg]] like Grey Fox across the room as well as [[https://youtu.be/_WVstq_DYYk?t=15955 uppercutting]] his very strong clone brother Liquid in their [[GoodOldFisticuffs fist fight]] so hard he went flying. 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. |
| 82 | ** Colonel Volgin in ''[=MGS3=]'' is easily super strong, at one point he [[https://youtu.be/chjuKZqwpjA?t=7743 destroys a concrete wall with a few punches]] while having a tantrum and later he wields a massive rocket launcher with ease. |
| 83 | ** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' Big Boss can [[https://thumbs.gfycat.com/IdleLonelyFallowdeer-size_restricted.gif support the weight]] of a Metal Gear, though it's debatable whether ''he can'' actually do in the story since the feat is just a game mechanic. |
| 84 | ** 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 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. |
| 85 | *** The only two people who have matched or defeated Raiden in Revengeance are "''Jet Stream''" Sam and Senator Armstrong. Sam in the first level effortlessly overpowers Raiden with his own [[MasterSwordsmen sword skill]] and cuts his cybernetic arm off and in his own DLC he destroys a RAY with the same ease that Raiden did and you know what's the real kicker? [[CharlesAtlasSuperPower He isn't a cyborg]] which makes his previous victory over Raiden and slicing a Ray all the more impressive. |
| 86 | *** Senator Armstrong made himself super human by injecting his bloodstream full of Nanomachines making his skin near indestructible [[note]]even when he is cut apart he can just put his limbs back together[[/note]] as well as giving him superhuman strength, in the DLC he beats Sam with only moderate effort and in the main game he beats the crap out of Raiden who just overpowered his massive MG EXCELSUS. Armstrong even [[BareHandedBladeBlock catches]] Raiden's high frequency blade (which can separate atoms) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmWQd8zhEg4 snaps it like a twig]], Raiden only won the battle thanks to Blade Wolf bringing Sam's superior Katana to him. |
| 87 | * ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'': |
| 88 | ** Samus Aran due to getting enhanced with Chozo [[spoiler: and later Metroid]] DNA has incredible strength, further augmented by her [[PoweredArmor powered suits]]. She is capable of [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/41f79e0ede9d5ae39775c1799306f647/tumblr_orhxonSxR51s8ouhxo7_500.gif throwing around alien enemies twice her size]], tearing through robots [[https://i.imgur.com/8NvVPPy.jpeg with her punches]] [[PalatePropping prying open]] [[https://i.imgur.com/4gVDvMP.mp4 the jaws of]] {{Kaiju}} sized creatures like Kraid and [[https://youtu.be/KXHoEWLl7tA?t=218 even physically repelling]] her ArchEnemy Ridley (a massive alien space dragon) when he was a cyborg. Even when [[BroughtDownToBadass not wearing her armor]] Samus is still superhumanly strong and athletic as seen in ''VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission'', [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Mei Ling]] in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]'' states no normal human could keep up with her. |
| 89 | ** Ridley himself is immensely strong, able to easily carry and [[WipeTheFloorWithYou grind]] Samus in her armor [[https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1450/24162859924_4ec2e928b5_o.gif across metal walls like a doll]], [[https://i.imgur.com/1xJa3R7.jpg smash a stone ceiling]], [[https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CloudyFrightenedCobra-mobile.mp4 fly through metal walls]] and [[https://i.imgur.com/LrJgKtB.jpeg impale an armored Chozo warrior]]. In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', Ridley makes his debut by [[https://youtu.be/8vkjzHUayZE?t=17 effortlessly impaling Mega Man through the torso with his tail and then crushing Mario's head like a eggshell]], which given what Mario and Mega Man can bounce back from in their own games makes Ridley's strength truly formidable. |
| 90 | ** The Chozo themselves are pretty damn strong for [[StrongerThanTheyLook hunched, gangly looking]] humanoid bird aliens. We properly see them in action in ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' where the BigBad Raven Beak (a corrupted Chozo warrior) makes his EstablishingCharacterMoment by [[https://youtu.be/PTaUHyveXnA?t=174 easily giving]] Samus a NeckLift in her Varia Suit like she weighs nothing. |
| 91 | * 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://i.makeagif.com/media/10-29-2015/1BEiH0.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]]. |
| 92 | * ''VideoGame/MrShifty'' can open holes in brick walls with his fists. Lampshaded by Chairman Stone when you use it to break out of your jail cell. |
| 93 | * James, Rico and Captain Cori from ''[[VideoGame/PapaLouieArcade Papa Louie 2]]'' are capable of pushing boulders around. Special mention to Captain Cori, whose weapon is ''[[AnchorsAway an anchor]]''. |
| 94 | * ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'': Purple Pikmin are the strongest Pikmin type, being able to lift [[TheStrengthOfTenMen ten times]] the weight their ilk can. |
| 95 | * The Gargantuar from ''VideoGame/PlantsVSZombies'' uses a telephone pole, road crossing sign or [[GrievousHarmwithABody another zombie]] as a club to smash your plants with. Sure, all of its weapons are smaller than it, but have you ever tried pulling a telephone pole or sign out of the ground... or for that matter, ''wielding somebody else'' using one hand? Not only that but if you fail to find any brains during a "Brain Ball", the newspaper clearly shows it ''holding up an entire house'' looking for brains. |
| 96 | * Fighting VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} in general are pretty strong, but Regigigas can move the entire continents of the world using a rope. |
| 97 | ** Pokemon with the Huge Power ability count as this (such as Azumarill, Diggersby, and Mega Mawile), as the ability DOUBLES their Attack stat, making weak Pokemon great and great Pokemon destructive powerhouses. |
| 98 | * Alex Mercer in ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' is the size of an average human, but can lift a car over his head and chuck it like a baseball. At maximum upgrade with Musclemass, he can throw one at least a city block if not more. The same goes for the destroyed shells of tanks and helicopters. |
| 99 | * ''VideoGame/PunchOut'': |
| 100 | ** Mr. Sandman 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. |
| 101 | ** [[HulkingOut Giga Mac]] gives Mac even greater strength. |
| 102 | * ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series: |
| 103 | ** 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 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]]. |
| 104 | ** Nemesis a modified Tyrant from ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis RE3]]'' can wield [[{{BFG}} giant]] rocket launchers and flame throwers, impossible for any human to wield. In the ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake RE3make]]'' Nemesis is strong enough [[https://youtu.be/UU252UBG4Kw?t=586 to destroy Jill's entire apartment floor with a slab of concrete]] and in his second form can [[GroundPunch smack the ground so hard]] [[https://youtu.be/UU252UBG4Kw?t=4456 the ground shakes, breaks and surrounding vehicles explode]]. |
| 105 | ** Ustanak from ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 RE6]]'' can send cars flying [[https://youtu.be/dMfCpODQtCk?t=101 while chasing Sherry and Jake]] and later on [[https://youtu.be/k6TmYoQU-Ms?t=49 force back a high-powered drill]]. |
| 106 | ** Other B.O.Ws like Lickers and Hunters have a degree of 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. |
| 107 | ** 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/TGinZlTcosc?t=93 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. |
| 108 | ** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'' has multiple super strong mutated enemies, such as the StatuesqueStunner Lady Dimitrescu who can [[https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-00363ec54333ec7d5f259d0d217a678a easily]] NeckLift Ethan and even smash him into the floor so hard [[https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e664f8f48000993f7a9061c30aa26e4c he goes through it into the underground]]. There's also Uriaș and Uriaș Străjer troll-like bosses who respectively wield a massive sledgehammer and massive mace and can create shockwaves hitting the ground with their oversized weapons. |
| 109 | ** 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://i.makeagif.com/media/7-26-2015/tIDVss.gif 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. |
| 110 | ** Leon S. Kennedy has super strength as well, in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 RE4]]'' he can kick enemies' heads off with a RoundhouseKick and [[https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/38603820198440639/7AA9D920E8202E23602A58B9D27013695502B53F/ smash their skulls]] with [[SuplexFinisher a suplex]] In ''Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration'' [[https://youtu.be/c82k1SzyKDA?list=PLq1LB1ombKp4EJ2RLo7GiR0F8qDDr7FX9&t=55 he held up the combined weight of Angela and her massively mutated brother]] while dangling from a steel beam and in ''[=RE6=]'' Leon holds [[PalatePropping open the jaws]] of [[https://youtu.be/emrzxr49r70?t=84 Brzak the mutated shark]] and even [[https://imgur.com/rtFFKtj pushes over a 6.5 ton boulder]] (albeit with some help). If all that wasn't enough in ''Anime/ResidentEvilVendetta'' Leon can stagger the humongous mutated Arias [[https://youtu.be/BEgQMpQq8pg?t=56 with a single axe kick]]... no wonder Leon can equal Chris in combat. Hell even as a regular rookie in ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake RE2make]]'', Leon can break out of enemies's grabs faster than Claire and at the end Leon [[EyeScream defeats]] mutated Birkin ''[[https://youtu.be/9vXdNzNdF_U?t=247 with a broken pipe]]'' (though Claire is [[ActionGirl strong enough]] to do the same and can [[GatlingGood wield the minigun]]). |
| 111 | ** Jake Muller from ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 RE6]]'' may give Chris and Leon a run for their money when it comes to strength, especially since his gameplay focuses on melee more than gunplay. Jake can not only rip B.O.Ws apart with his combos, but even the aforementioned massive Ustanak [[https://youtu.be/sZxYghF1zCc?t=329 was brought down by Jake barehanded]]. It is justified given Jake is Wesker's illegitimate son and inherited his enhanced physiology from him. |
| 112 | ** Joe Baker from ''[=RE7=]'' is just as ridiculous as the previous examples (despite being older), not only can he rip apart molded with his bare hands but he also [[https://youtu.be/nt1NRWSqcW8?t=210 fights and defeats his mutated brother]] Jack with GoodOldFisticuffs and [[WrestlerInAllOfUs wrestling moves]]. |
| 113 | ** Jill Valentine (Chris’s partner) is the most prominent female example (aside from Claire or 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]].]] |
| 114 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': |
| 115 | ** 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's 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]]. |
| 116 | ** 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. Other than dead lifting and flipping over larger objects, if Shadow doesn't have any weapons in hand his own physical attacks can destroy destructible environments in the levels whether it's containers, doors, stone pillars, streetlights, trees. He can even put the hurt on G.U.N.'s robots, Eggman's robots and even Black Doom's troops. |
| 117 | ** This is [[TheBigGuy Knuckles']] main ability. Capable of shattering boulders ten times bigger than him with his fists, he's said to be as strong as Sonic is fast. |
| 118 | ** ''Surprisingly'', Dr. Eggman himself. Usually he's a typical EvilGenius that creates various combat machines as well as HumongousMecha that does 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''. |
| 119 | %% ** All of the [[StanceSystem Power]] characters in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'' have this; including Knuckles (again) as well as [[KillerRobot Omega]], [[GentleGiant Big]], and [[StreetSmart Vector]]. [[DependingOnTheWriter Depending on how she's being portrayed at the moment]], [[ClassyCatburglar Rouge the Bat]] and [[BadassPacifist Tikal the Echidna]] would rival their strength. |
| 120 | %% ** Metal Sonic is generally portrayed as being even stronger than Sonic or Shadow. |
| 121 | * The ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}'' giants are more then capable of throwing boulders across maps and shattering walls that normal Skylanders can't without bombs. If that isn't enough info, try the feats of strength events on for size. |
| 122 | ** The only giant who doesn't use brute force when doing most of the above is Ninjini, who instead uses the MindOverMatter technique. |
| 123 | * ''Franchise/StreetFighter'': Pretty much everyone since EverybodyWasKungFuFighting, though even then some are more extreme than others. |
| 124 | ** 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 the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite''. |
| 125 | ** 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://external-preview.redd.it/jrGyfpWEKUkRfoKyL0lBRl6ZvUUrxv4oTCSCqSzEyns.jpg?auto=webp&s=d67685471afe8fe827a45269dfd59c88d7781094 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]]. |
| 126 | ** 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 pecs!!!]]'''. This is probably not too surprising, considering Zangief wrestles ''Grizzly Bears'' in his spare time. |
| 127 | *** Zangief's student R.Mika takes after him given she can force Balrog's punch back ''[[https://gfycat.com/inferiorvibrantgosling with her face]]''. |
| 128 | ** Chun-Li is the foremost female example (aside from Mika) given she can [[https://youtu.be/2JEkneZMNiE?t=74 lift a sofa and throw it]], [[https://youtu.be/2JEkneZMNiE?t=171 kick Vega through a wall]] and [[https://gfycat.com/chubbyunfinishedfreshwatereel destroy a tank with a flurry of kicks]]. In ''[=SFV=]'' Chun-Li at [[https://youtu.be/P6KKsSAbbaM?t=4047 one point destroys a massive steel door]] same as Karin. |
| 129 | ** Special mention to Cody, [[https://gfycat.com/classicethicalchick he can casually break brick walls]] and prior to ''[=SFV=]'' [[IAmNotLeftHanded handicaps himself]] with handcuffs, when Cody took the cuffs off he could [[https://i.imgur.com/Dks6uWQ.jpg knock out Ryu with a single punch]]. |
| 130 | ** While not as remarkable even compared to the other females, Ibuki deserves some credit with her Yamikazura forward throw. While she is only 5'3, she has been able to hip toss giant metal robots, obese men, and even Gill, the final boss of the ''III'' series who weighs 644 pounds more than her. |
| 131 | ** Abagail (another character ''from VideoGame/FinalFight'') as shown in the ''SFV Arcade Edition'' trailer [[https://youtu.be/3l4mux-seHI?t=139 can crush cars in his bare hands]] and according to Ryu's win quote against Abgail he [[WorldsStrongestMan is the strongest person he's ever faced]]. Fortunately Abagail is devoid of any technique behind his strength making him DumbMuscle compared to the aforementioned examples. |
| 132 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 133 | ** Mario and Luigi are capable of [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld lifting a castle and throwing it to the side]]. |
| 134 | *** Somewhat more consistently, they are also generally able to lift and throw Bowser if they can incapacitate him. |
| 135 | ** Wario can [[VideoGame/WarioLand cause earthquakes with his punch]] and Waluigi can [[VideoGame/MarioParty3 beat the crap out of Bowser]]. |
| 136 | ** Bowser has many feats of strength in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'', including throwing a castle bigger than him around and pulling an island with a rope. |
| 137 | ** Yoshi is able to lift and throw eggs several times larger than his entire body in ''VideoGame/YoshisNewIsland'' with ease, and similarly can move snowballs even larger than the aforementioned eggs in ''VideoGame/YoshisWoollyWorld''. |
| 138 | ** Even Princess Peach the unrivaled DamselInDistress can send Bowser flying out a castle with a single swing of her parasol and can kick a soccer ball in three halves in ''VideoGame/MarioStrikers''. This much force requires easily over 2,300 newtons of force, enough to completely smash the human skull. |
| 139 | ** Princess Daisy is [[https://orig01.deviantart.net/1d19/f/2016/214/e/4/daisyslapbowser_by_doctorworm1987-dacea45.gif able to effortlessly send Bowser flying into the sky with a single slap.]]. |
| 140 | ** Donkey Kong [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns punched the moon out of the sky]]. And that's just ''one'' feat of strength that he did. |
| 141 | ** Chunky Kong can [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong64 can pick up and throw boulders easily]], while King K. Rool is practically an elephant-sized powerhouse. |
| 142 | * [[ICallItVera "Sasha"]], the [[GatlingGood minigun]] of the Heavy Weapons Guy from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', is said to weigh 150 kilograms (a bit over 330 pounds), but he has no problems lifting it. Or running around with it [[DoNotRunWithAGun as long as he isn't spinning up or firing it]]. He also dishes out the same melee damage with his bare hands that the other characters need bats, wrenches, shovels, and huge knives to deliver, and in one of his taunt animations, he effortlessly spins his holdout weapon, a 12-gauge shotgun, like it was a pistol. |
| 143 | * ''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/nIBntuo6E5A?t=3562 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]]. |
| 144 | * Lara Croft from ''Franchise/TombRaider'' is able to push around blocks of solid rock measuring roughly 2 meters per side, which puts them at a weight of about 20 metric tonnes. |
| 145 | * Byakuren Hijiri from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' specializes herself in magic that augments her own physical abilities, which allegedly grants her super strength, among other useful powers such as SuperSpeed. One of her spellcards is aptly named 'Superhuman "Byakuren Hijiri"'. |
| 146 | ** Others characters with super strength are Suika Ibuki, who is capable of tearing down a whole mountain on herself; Yuugi Hoshiguma, a.k.a. [[RedBaron Yuugi the Strong]], who is probably even stronger than Suika; and the two Scarlet Sisters (Vampires are in Touhou canon stated to be as strong as Oni and [[LightningBruiser as fast]] [[SuperSpeed as Tengu]]). |
| 147 | * In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher3WildHunt'', Geralt of Rivia can cleave a fully-armoured man clean in half with a single strike from an ordinary steel sword. Witchers like him are {{Super Soldier}}s created through magic and alchemy to fight monsters that are too mighty for regular humans to handle. |
