Advanced human strength
From the Heroes Wiki, your wiki for all things Heroes!
Advanced Human Strength is the power to exercise physical force well in excess of what would be considered normal for an ordinary human of a given age, sex and build. Possessors of this power also seem to possess an increased resistance to injury while using their increased strength.
Advanced Human Strength has manifested itself in a number of different ways:
Niki Sanders could only access this power when her alter-ego had control of her body until How to Stop an Exploding Man. This is evidence of the relationship between an advanced human's power and their brain. (artificial) (deceased)
Peter Petrelli reproduced Niki's power. (stolen) And later duplicated Mohinder's power for a time. (artificial)
Knox has the power to feel and absorb the fear of others. The more fear in his proximity, the stronger he becomes and if no one around him is afraid he has the normal strength of an ordinary human.
Michael Fitzgerald When he uses this power his eyes and tatoos glow.
Arthur Petrelli stole this power from Peter.
Scott (artificial) (deceased)
Mohinder has superhuman strength along with some kind of a "bug" power. (artificial)
Whether this power is physiological or psionic in nature in unknown, however the fact that Niki Sanders can only reliably access this power when her alternate personality, Jessica, is dominant seems to imply the latter.
