Users
Strength
- Soke Takayuki Kubota (A Karate master who trains by punching steel beams and striking his hands with a hammer. Was also said to kill hogs at his local slaughterhouse by hitting them in the head when he was a kid).
- Žydrūnas Savickas (Has lifted 442 kg in a strongman deadlift, and with an elevated setup with further bend on the bar has lifted 524 kg quite easily. Has cleaned and pressed a metal log weighing 228 kg overhead, and has done the same with a 215 kg axle bar. Is commonly regarded as one of the strongest men to ever walk on Earth, and has hundreds of national and international strongman competition wins under his belt, as well as hundreds of world records).
- Bruce Lee (The father of Jeet Kune Do and innovator of Mixed Martial Arts. He was able to rupture a 100-150 lb sandbag and hold a 75 lb barbell in a lateral position for several seconds, which bodybuilders have extreme difficulty accomplishing. Bruce could also split wood and knock Karate experts off the ground by only punching from an inch away, which would severely limit his range of motion and strength).
Speed
- Usain Bolt (He reached a speed of 27 miles per hour. A normal man can only reach a speed of 12 miles per hour. Has been known for toying around with other olympians during his races. Even stopping momentarily yet still able to get first place).
- Bruce Lee (He could attack so fast that cameras sometimes had problems to catch his movements, forcing him to move more slowly while on set so that he could be clearly recorded. World Martial Arts champions would react to his punches after they were already thrown. He could also grab a penny out of a fellow martial artists' hand and replace it with a dime or other coin before they could close their hand).
Durability
- Berserker Vikings (According to some stories, a Berserker could be stabbed multiple times with no armor and live to tell the tale).
- Shaolin Monks (Through hours upon hours of torturous training each day, various Kung Fu masters have conditioned their body to the point of being able to bang their heads on stone, get stabbed in the throat by spears, lay on top of tridents and many more with little to no pain).
Stamina
- Andy Bowen and Jack Burke (Their boxing match back in 1893 lasted 110 rounds and resulted in Burke breaking both of his hands, though they were not fighting competently for anywhere close to the entire time; by the 105th round they weren't even throwing punches anymore).
- Rocky Marciano (A less ambiguous example, Rocky could box for 15 rounds without any significant drop in performance).
- Dean Karnazes (He ran 560 kilometers in 80 hours without any sleep).
- Andreas Mihavecz (He survived 18 days with no food and very minimal water).
- Jacques Roellinger (Survived getting shot, cut and stabbed numerous times, getting tortured by burning splinters of wood on his chest, having a fragment of an exploding shell embedded in his thigh, having his lungs damaged by a passing bullet, getting bayonetted through the liver and diaphragm, and finally being shot right through the jaw. His only lingering ill effect was a stiff knee).
