In cases where the answer isn't simply "it's magic". I'm curious what the physical characteristic of someone who is inhumanly strong without weighing 500 kilos would be like.
Obviously the muscle fibres need to able to apply much more force, which means they must withstand much more force. But wouldn't the bones they're attached to need to be tough as steel as well? Would a superhuman weigh much more than a human of the same size? Would they feel abnormal to the touch? Or would they feel normal until they flex, at which point they feel like solid marble?
Does anyone have the scientific knowledge to give some thoughts on this?
