Again, my problem with Sam is that in a world where all supes have super strength, Sam apparently has super duper strength AND he doesn't exactly have a direct comic book counterpart that we can readily identify. On The Boys, Queen Maeve has similar powers to Sam in that she is just incredibly strong, stonger than most supes, but she also serves as the Vought version of Wonder Woman which is why her abilities are more recognizable. Maybe what they should have done is draw a parallel between Sam and the Hulk, maybe his skin or something changes color when he gets mad and it makes him stronger. It could also play into the whole classic Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde theme, so when he gets mad and "hulks" out his schizophrenia really kicks in.
