Superhuman Physical Characteristics
From The Character Database
Introduction[edit | edit source]
The levels of strength, speed or stamina that significantly exceed those of a regular person. Examples include ability to move faster than the eye can see[1][2] (the human limit is about 10 m/s at short distances), or even at supersonic speed,[3] without any expense to self and without any gimmicks.
Requirements[edit | edit source]
- Speed: Faster than 12.42 m/s (Faster than Olympic 100 m sprinters)[4]
- Lifting Strength: Over 501 kg[5] (More than Olympic weightlifters, world-class professional powerlifters and strongmen)
- Striking Strength: At least Street level (Attacks carry the force of over thousands of joules)
- Durability: At least Street level (Able to survive large amounts of blunt force trauma,[6][7][8][9][10] but can still be killed by things such as knives,[11][12] bullets,[13] etc.[14])
Notes[edit | edit source]
Even if some of the parameters fall below the minimum value, the character can still be regarded as superhuman, if they have statistical advantage over ordinary people in multiple characteristics.
