superhuman
Exceeding normal capacity
Superhuman describes abilities or qualities that exceed what seems possible for ordinary humans: superhuman strength, superhuman endurance.
The word suggests something beyond normal human limits without necessarily implying the supernatural—an athlete's superhuman reflexes, a scholar's superhuman memory.
As a noun, a superhuman is a being with such extraordinary powers.
