Appendix: Superhuman Strength Table Game Mechanics Details

The following characters possess superhuman strength. Listed are the characters and their maximum observed bench-press weights, along with the minimum ST scores necessary to achieve that level of strength. Unlike prior (official) handbooks, the strength ratings go up to 500 tons rather than 100 tons before becoming incalculable. Some of these strength classifications are not indicated in the entries themselves, as the characters (Hulk and Thor in particular) need revision.
