I've already ask this in Ron Marz's forum, but since he's not around for a moment, I thought I might ask you this question from your PV & experience, Tony:
Superhuman & inhuman strength: What's the difference? And how are they applied to characters with such power in a fight?

Man, I think "superhuman" and "inhuman" are both pretty vague descriptors that could apply to a wide range of power levels. If a man could press 1,000 pounds over his head, I'd say that qualifies for both, since I don't think anyone can actually do that.
There's also a problem with trying to be too specific about strength levels. Luke Cage, for example, seems to have a strength level that varies with whoever he's fighting. The main thing is: is the story interesting? Don't bog down too much over shades of meaning with words like Superhuman and Inhuman.
