Strength
| - *She has been known to overhead press 800 lbs, but had also bench-pressed 1,200 lbs and curled 500 lbs. She is cited as having the strength of 10 men and had herself once stated that she has the strength of half a platoon of fighting men . The average human is capable of lifting his or her own body weight, around 180 lbs, so Captain America potentially could be able to lift ten times that weight. She had been referenced at least twice as having preternatural strength, but it seems to say that 1,200 pounds is her limit; however, that is still beyond that of an ordinary human.
*Classification in handbook bios reference Amanda as peak human. She is often referenced as being a "Super Human", "Super Woman", and even being "beyond human".
