 The Strength of Ten Men
comment
When a character exhibits extraordinary (and sometimes superhuman) strength and/or fighting prowess, it is often described in terms of some multiple of the strength of a "normal" man. "Ten Men" is the most common multiplier, but the number of men is sometimes given as a dozen, or a hundred, or even a thousand. Such variables don't really matter, though, because the point isn't the number. Rather, the point is that the character is that much stronger and more powerful than a single ordinary human being.
A Sub-Trope of Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure. When measuring less easily-quantifiable concepts than raw strength such as "fighting prowess," can easily overlap with Abstract Scale. See also Takes Ten to Hold.

The titular Seven Brothers are made fun of by their neighbours, who sing about each brother's personal quirks and end with a claim they together make "a series of brothers as graceful as rampant bulls, with the strength of seven men".

The Runelords series takes the trope disturbingly literal. Runelords may have the brawn, wit or sight of two or more, but if someone has the strength of ten that means that somewhere there are nine now extremely weak guys that have given up their own strength.

"The Phantom has the strength of ten tigers." — Old jungle saying.
The Phantom Chronicles show us that this is not just poetic license; one of the Phantoms did in fact defeat ten tigers in gladiatorial combat while undercover to dismantle a slave market.

The D.C. villain Deathstroke used to be stated as having the strength of ten men; Fridge Logic kicks in somewhat when Badass Normal characters like Batman and Robin/Nightwing are able to fight against him evenly in hand-to-hand without undue handicap. In most recent works his strength is indicated as being "enhanced", without quantifying an amount.

Discussed in The Snow Queen: When they take shelter with an old woman who apparently has some sort of magic powers, Gerda's reindeer begs her to give Gerda "the strength of twelve men" so she can rescue her friend from the Snow Queen. The woman points out that wouldn't do any good, since they're dealing with More than Mind Control here, and brute force can't help them with that, but Gerda already has the only power that can save Kai from choosing to be the Snow Queen's prisoner forever.

Parodied in the Italian comic NORMALMAN (nothing to do with Jim Valentino's normalman). An accident with Imported Alien Phlebotinum makes the protagonist one hundred times stronger, smarter and more agile... But he was one hundred times weaker, dumber and clumsier than the average person to start with, so he becomes merely normal. For some reason, he decides to fight crime as a superhero anyway.

In Shadow of the Conqueror, Lifebinding is multiplicative in all attributes, and Daylen can achieve sixteen times his normal strength with all of his bonds. Lyrah, due to her specialization, seems to have somewhere between 64 and 512 times her normal strength; whether she's using a level-six or a level-nine bond isn't clarified, but she can lift over seven metric tons with ease.

On an episode of Stargate SG-1 several team members get devices that give them super-human physical abilities (and also seems to do away with inhibitions). Their progress is tested by a beautiful alien who at one point tells Colonel O'Neil that he now has the strength of five men (which seems to make him quite a bit stronger than Teal'c or a Goa'uld). "So," he says, preening for the beautiful alien (and the eye-rolling of their female doctor), "no change then?"
In a later episode, O'Neill notes that Teal'c can lift twice as much weight as any other man, even after being Brought Down to Badass due to losing his symbiote and using Tretonin instead to stay alive.
Later on, in Stargate Atlantis, a Goa'uld boasts he has the strength of many men. His opponent, Ronon, is glad that its a fair fight. As with many Goa'uld boasts, this has a grain of truth but is mostly exaggeration and ego. (Goa'uld are quite a bit stronger than regular humans, but not to such an extreme. Ronan hands said Goa'uld his ass quite handily.)

In Tiger Mask, Mr. X brags that Tiger's Cave wrestler Lionman is stronger than twenty men, and to prove it he pits him in a tug-o-war with a chain against twenty members of the audience. Lionman not only wins, he pulls them on the ring. Then Great Zebra a.k.a. Giant Baba grabs the chain and matches his strength with a single arm, silently bragging he's stronger than forty.

One Piece
Fishmen are described as generally being ten times as strong as humans. Unfortunately for them, they tend to come up against humans (e.g Luffy, Zoro and Sanji) who are super strong themselves. Though some of the Fishmen have superior strengh even by Fishman standards, like Jimbei and (in flashbacks) Fisher Tiger.
The CP9 measure their members' power in "douriki" points, and estimate that an average Marine has a score of 10 points. Rob Lucci, the strongest member, has a score of "4000", roughly equivalent to 400 marines, while Spandam only has a score of 9, meaning that he's even weaker than a Mook. Rob Lucci also states that Rokushiki in general makes users to be "as strong as a 100 men alone".
During the Zou Arc, Luffy happily claims to Inuarashi that his missing cook Sanji is strong as "1000 men", therefore making him vital for the upcoming War Arc. In response, Zoro jealously mutters that Luffy's estimate automatically means he's strong as "2000 men". Though to be honest, both claims fail to properly represent Sanji and Zoro's strength, as they have both been shown to be much stronger than 1000 or 2000 men.

Cloud in the "Eclipse Contact" storyline in Mobius Final Fantasy tells Wol that even a SOLDIER 3rd Class is as strong as ten normal soldiers, so when he's telling Wol that he could make 3rd Class he means it as a compliment. Wol, who knows Cloud is SOLDIER 1st Class, isn't convinced.

Spider-Man:
A minor enemy of Spider-Man once boasted to have the strength of ten men. The wallcrawler quickly showed him that he is way stronger than that.
Spider-Man did this again when he entered a warehouse to take down a large group of criminals. Accidentally breaking through the roof, he landed on the floor and was immediately set upon by a literal army of men. One of them yelled "Pile on, guys! I hear Spider-Man's only got the strength of ten men. Too bad for him there's a lot more than ten of us!" In the next panel, Spidey is completely buried under dozens of men, all kicking, punching, and stomping as hard as they can. Then a calm voice is heard from under the pile. "You men really should pay more attention when you peruse those supermarket yellow-sheets. The correct expression is Spider-Man possesses the proportionate strength of a spider." He then jumped to his feet, sending everyone on him flying in all directions. "AND THAT'S A WHOLE HELLUVA LOT STRONGER THAN TEN MEN!" Spidey then proceeded to curb-stomp the entire gang.

In the first episode of Sealab 2021, the crew gets fixated on the idea of becoming robots; Murphy scoffs at the idea of a robot body with the strength of five mere men, which Marco claims he already has, preferring to imagine one with the strength of five gorillas (which, for the record, comes out to roughly thirty men).
A later episode has Marco, under the effects of Stimutacs, hang from the ceiling by digging his toes into the bulkhead. He claims that the pills give him "the energy of a bear, that has the energy of two bears!"

In King of Dragon Pass, your weaponthanes (professional warriors) have gear and training equivalent to five armed militiamen. A specific divine blessing can double this number up to — you guessed it — ten.
In the Spiritual Successor Six Ages, Swords are equivalent to weaponthanes, with the strength of five men. A blessing doubles this... as does one of Elmal's ritual rewards, allowing Swords to fight with the strength of as many as 20 common fighters.

In Nasuverse works like Fate/stay night, Servant Parameters work like this. A Servant's Strength, Endurance, Agility, Mana, Luck, and Noble Phantasm is given a Rank. Rank E Strength is roughly as strong as ten men, Rank D is twenty men, Rank C is thirty men, Rank B is forty men, Rank A is fifty men, and Rank EX means it is totally beyond measure. A + modifier means the Servant can temporarily multiply their power, so + can double it, ++ can triple it, and +++ can quadruple it. So someone with Rank A+++ Strength could temporarily be as strong as 200 men. A - modifier means the Rank is not stable or slightly lower than usual.

Brom in Inheritance Cycle says of the Dragon Riders of eld: "Their prowess in battle was unmatched, for each had the strength of ten men." The series also demonstrates that certain creatures, including elves, Shades, Ra'zac, and Kull urgals are all many times stronger than ordinary humans, and Dragon Riders seem to gradually become stronger with time. In an interview, Christopher Paolini was asked how many men exactly would it take to equal the strength of one of these individuals, and he said that he'd rather not quantify their strength.

Later on, in Stargate Atlantis, a Goa'uld boasts he has the strength of many men. His opponent, Ronon, is glad that its a fair fight. As with many Goa'uld boasts, this has a grain of truth but is mostly exaggeration and ego. (Goa'uld are quite a bit stronger than regular humans, but not to such an extreme. Ronan hands said Goa'uld his ass quite handily.)
