Enhanced strength

Jessica Sanders pins her father on a wall.
Originally held by: Niki Sanders/Jessica Sanders,
Knox
Absorbed by: Peter Petrelli
Ability to: Exert greater than normal physical force
Examples of enhanced strength

Super strength, also known as enhanced strength, is the ability to exert greater than normal physical force.

Characters

Confirmed

Limits

Jessica Sanders

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. At present, there is no evidence that she has unusual resistance to other sources of injury.

Niki Sanders

Niki was unable to access this power for most of Season One, first using it on her own in How to Stop an Exploding Man. As she is physically the same person, she presumably has the same limits as Jessica.

Peter Petrelli

Peter absorbed this ability from Niki in How to Stop an Exploding Man, and used it to effectively bloody Sylar's face. As he has not yet used the ability extensively, his limits are not known.

Knox

Knox states that he can increase his strength by absorbing the fear of others who are around him. His claim is supported by his ability to detect fear in people around him. He has demonstrated his strength by punching through the body of the German and picking up Jesse Murphy by the neck.

Selected Examples

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 super strength. (Godsend)
  • In 2007, Niki is locked up in a cell from which she cannot escape using her brute strength. It is unclear what it is that stops her.
