supernatural strength

Beyond human limits

Supernatural strength is physical power beyond normal human limits, attributed to divine intervention, magical forces, or otherworldly sources.

The phrase appears in mythology, religious texts, and fiction: Samson's supernatural strength came from his uncut hair.

It also describes seemingly impossible feats of real-world strength, often in emergencies: She lifted the car with supernatural strength to free her child.
