Nancy Lebovitz For wish fulfillment, give the protoganist some reason to be super powerful (super serum, magic spell, robot body, etc). But, in general, I think it's more entertaining if the writers abide by biological limits, and instead figure out a way for the character to think their way out of a situation, rather than rely on biologicaly implausible durability/strength.
