Enhanced strength

Enhanced strength refers to an individual's strength levels which are enhanced due to alternative stimuli. By definition, it is similar in function to superhuman strength, but with the added caveat that the enhanced strength levels are not part of an individual's regularly maintained abilities.

The most notable example of a being with enhanced strength is Superman. While Superman's strength levels are indeed superhuman, they are entirely dependent upon his environment. While Superman is operating within a planetary system that revolves around a yellow sun, Superman's strength, endurance and durability levels increase dramatically. However, if he is removed from such a system and can no longer process yellow ultraviolet radiation, then his strength levels diminish immensely. In such situations, Superman's strength levels are no greater than that of any other member of his race (Kryptonian). If he is exposed to red solar radiation, he is actually weakened greatly, and his strength level becomes less that of the average Kryptonian.
