Representative Thunderbolt Jaxon
Likely the most primal and common super-power. In a way, it’s one of the oldest “super-powers” that mankind came up with; ancient myths have plenty of tales about mighty warriors and demigods, apparently normal humans but with strength beyond any human limits. Very common power from The Silver Age of Comic Books… Characters with a wide variety of Superpowers will very frequently include this as a baseline ability… ~ Super-Strength – TV Tropes
