Super Powers - Super Strength

In this series of blogs I will be observing the various super powers that we'd all love to have. I'll look at the pro's and cons and see what we all think we could do with the powers. These powers won't necessarily be needed to act as a super hero, they could simply be thier to make your life easier. At the end of the each blog i will give a verdict on these abilities - Super? or Stupid?

Everybody wants to be a winner, particularly when it comes to fights. We all want to be the fastest, the smartest, and the strongest. Strength is what we're looking today, one of the more impressive super powers, and one that can be made possible in some ways. We see 'Test Your Strength' at the beach, and we have the worlds strongest men lifting incredible amounts of weight.
It would be great to lift a building, or smash through a wall unharmed. Wouldn't it?

Positives
Won't lose a fight
You can be sure you'll win any fights you get involved in.
Its impressive
People will be impressed if you do something awesome like lift a car or smash down a brick wall.
Dominate arm wrestling
You would become unstoppable in arm wrestling contests.
Clear rubble
If thier was a building collapsed, you could easily save lives and help people by clearing the blocks with ease.
Easy trasnport
Move things around your house and up stairs with no problems.

Negatives
You'll become a target
If you become super strong, everyone will want to try and take you down, could become annoying after a while.
You dont want to always be strong
You could accidently crush a glass, or break your door when you close it.
High expectations
You'll always want to go that bit further when lifting something, theirs a risk you could go too far.
What if you trip up?
Just because you can lift something, if you slipped and dropped it on yourself, it would crush you.
Unfair advantage
In a fight you'd always be in control, plus you could harm someone a lot more than you want to.

What you had to say
Twitter - What you do if you had had super strength?

@ Use it to help with rebuilding Japan.

@ I would pick up America and move it closer to England. Or maybe the other way around for the added bonus of better weather

@ Hmmm, destroy anyone that gets in my way! Don't think it would be at the top of the list of super powers I'd want though lol

@ I would make a fortune off opening jars which weaker people can't open, such as jam jars, toilet duck and pickles.
 
@ Do anything I want, when I want.. knowing that anyone who tries to pick a fight with me will lose.

Conclusion
I think if you had Super Strength, it would be important that you keep precision grip, to avoid crushing anything you pick up.
I suppose thier are very few actual downfalls with this power. You're pretty much living your normal life, except you can lift cars and buildings...okay, so maybe not completely normal. But the only real issue you might have is the high expectations, it will become your part trick. Everybody will want to see you lift thier car, it could get frustrating, but i guess thats what secret identities are for. At the end of the day, its not really the most exciting power to have.

Verdict - Stupid
