* In the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series, [[Big Bad|Wesker]] is capable of lifting missiles with one hand, piercing through his enemies' chests with his fingers, and holding Chris with one hand by the throat, among other feats of strength after his last upgrade in ''[[Resident Evil 5]]''. The man's practically a [[Implacable Man|living]], [[Lightning Bruiser|breathing]] [[Back From the Dead|machine]] and shows almost no damage after having a crane full of steel girders dropped on his head. Then again, he's not exactly [[The Undead|human]] after the [[Resident Evil 1|first game]], either.

* [[I Call It Vera|"Sasha"]], the [[Gatling Good|minigun]] of the Heavy Weapons Guy from ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', is said to weigh 150 kilograms (a bit over 330 pounds), but he has no problems lifting it. Or running around with 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.

* While a number of characters in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' have displayed [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]s, [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Sephiroth]], the main villain of the game, has explicit Super Strength, wielding his [[BFS|8-foot]] [[Katanas Are Just Better|Masamune]] as if it were a dagger, and at one point, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|impaling a subway-train sized snake with a tree]]. Cloud, 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.

* Brock Samson of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' fame has what's best described as [[Charles Atlas Superpower]] but there are times (particularly when angry) when he pushes into the realm of Super Strength like when he ripped apart a car that had been programmed to kill him with his bare hands.
