I'm writing a scene where one of my main characters is put into a coma and experimented on. They wake up and find they've been given enhanced strength, among other things. While writing this, I was reminded of that funny scene in The Amazing Spider-Man where Peter accidentally destroys various household items during his morning routine because he isn't immediately aware of his new strength. It got me wondering: can that actually happen? I'd assume you generally have an idea of how strong you are, and how fragile something is. I've never broken anything that way, but I'm not exactly the spitting image of power. Is there really such a thing as not knowing your own strength?
