Line 72:
* In ''[[The Neverending Story (novel)|The Neverending Story]]'', the knight Hykrion claims to be the strongest in the world. Another knight named Hero Hynreck defeats him one-on-one with superior strength. Then, Hynreck himself is thoroughly outmuscled by the real strongest man in Fantasia, Bastian himself, who had used AURYN to give himself godlike strength.
* The ''[[Belgariad]]'' graces us with a number of phenomenally strong characters- there are so many [[The Big Guy|Big Guys]] that they actually form their own ''[[Five-Man Band]]'' of [[The Big Guy|Big Guys]], but the knight Mandorallen is something of a standout, ''crushing'' a lion to death just by squeezing. Probably one of the most memorable bits, though, is when he was preparing to attack two opposing armies simultaneously, which his companions managed to talk him out of, as they considered it suicidal... although one of them noticed ''both'' armies were visibly relieved that he had been called off.
* Stonks from ''[[The Borribles]]'' is possibly the World's Strongest Borrible. He's the strongest Borrible anyone in the books has ever encountered, including Spiff and Flinthead, who've been around since the Victorian era.▼

Line 79 ⟶ 80:
* Nadine from ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' is already pretty strong earlier in the series (she involuntarily mangles a steel rail with her bare hands), but after she comes back in her "perky schoolgirl" persona on recovering from her overdose the gloves really come off. In the school gym, she's seen leg-pressing unfeasible amounts of weight without effort, to the astonishment of the watching jocks, and in a touch-down celebration she gleefully whirls the hunky quarterback round in her arms, before, forgetting her own strength, she flings him what appears to be about a hundred feet through the air.
* [[The Dragon|Damaras]] of ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' has the [[Red Baron|title]] "The Strongest Man in the ''Universe''". When he finally goes into action against the Gokaigers, it shows us that he ''deserves'' it.
▲* Stonks from ''[[The Borribles]]'' is possibly the World's Strongest Borrible. He's the strongest Borrible anyone in the books has ever encountered, including Spiff and Flinthead, who've been around since the Victorian era.

Line 132:
* Marshal Bravestarr from ''[[Bravestarr]]''.
* ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]''. While a moose rather than a man, Bullwinkle J Moose every so often performs feats of incredible strength, which he attributes to his "mighty moose muscle", or sometimes just "moose-le".
* ''[[The Fairly Oddparents]]'': Timmy once wished to be the toughest guy on the beach - ergo, he'd be stronger than the toughest fellow to turn up on that beach. This was going fine and dandy until a ''whale'' beached itself.
