If you make a superhero realistic, they'll be just some guy.

Well, I don't mean downgrade him totally! Give him super strength or something but take it to its conclusion.

Authors realized this problem with Flash, so they added a mildly magic mystery Speed Force thing that solves the too-many-Gs problem with "nah he just slows time down or something and the Speed Force is mysterious and different" iirc.

But without the handwaviness he'd need to watch acceleration and calorie counts and speed up his thoughts and not slip and fall into an inertial death. If that makes sense (-‿-")

You have super strength. You attempt to lift an incredibly heavy object and... You push your legs into the ground instead. That's not just some guy, but it is a lot less useful of a power lol

But where do you stop? the structural integrity of the ground? What about that of muscle fiber? You are super strong but when you try to lift something, your biceps just explodes.
