I agree and I understand Tolkien's use of strength in a spiritual or meta-physical way.
I brought this up in the novice section because it sounds like a vs. thread but I really am interested in terms of physical strength how the great Noldo Lords of the first age and the Mighty of Numenor or the 1st age Edain from the House of Hador stack up.
I know in the Children of Hurin, when Turin humiliates and accidentally causes Saeros death, it state he is stronger than any Elf.
