Held by:	Niki Sanders/Jessica Sanders
Ability to:	Exert greater than normal physical force
Examples of enhanced strength

Enhanced strength is the ability to exert greater than normal physical force.

Characters

Niki Sanders and her alter ego Jessica are the only characters known to have this ability.

Limits

Jessica has superhuman physical strength sufficient to tear the door off an office safe with her bare hands. In addition to being able to exert such force, she has the ability to resist the forces she applies, so she is not injured when she performs superhuman feats of strength. It is unknown if Niki is able to use this ability to the same extent, if at all.

Examples

• Jessica tears the door off a small office safe. (Stolen Time)
• Jessica kills D.L.'s crew. (Stolen Time)
• Jessica rips the bodies of Linderman's thugs completely in half, as recorded on Niki's tape. (Genesis, Don't Look Back)
• Jessica overpowers Linderman's henchman at the Montecito Casino (Collision)
• At the money launderer's, she rips several people (Ernie, the high roller, and a lowlife) in half in a short period of time, indicating that this is a relatively easy task for her. (Better Halves)
• Jessica throws D.L. a distance of over 10 feet, on multiple occasions, with ease. (Better Halves, Fallout)
• Jessica throws her father, Hal Sanders, across a hotel room. (Six Months Ago)
• Jessica breaks the glass window when she slams a car door. (Fallout)
• Jessica accidentally throws her son against some rocks. (Fallout)
• During the first two weeks of her incarceration, Jessica intimidates and beats up her guards. (Godsend)
• The inmate at the Women's Correctional Facility snaps a prison guard's baton in two. (Godsend)
• Jessica breaks free from cuffs that "could keep an elephant" restrained. (Distractions)
• Jessica relieves herself of Matt's handcuffs. (Run!)
• Jessica tosses Matt out a window. (Run!)

Notes

• It is unclear whether it's Jessica or Niki who snaps the prison guard's baton in two. If it were actually Niki, this would be her first demonstration of enhanced strength. (Godsend)
