BL is the max you can lift over head in one second or less without Extra Effort, Lifting Skill or several other tricks.

If you have 2 seconds you can lift 2x BL over head with one hand. So if you make Khan's feat a little less casual than the way some other lower level Supers do you're problem is halved.

There's also Lifting Skill and without burning FP this still gives an "almost always" bonus of 5% to BL per point of Skils over 16 and a "usually" bonus of 5% per pt over 11 or so. Extra Effort would roughly double these numbers.

Genetically Khan would be limited to a ST of 22 if he's really Eugenic as Bio-tech defines that but he also shows signs of some esoteric training. In the TOS he breaks out of his quarters by doing a deep breathing exercise and then forcing the sliding door back in its' track. That could be just Extra Effort but it could also be Power Blow.

Certain Martial Arts Styles can also deliver 1 pt of Lifting ST + 1 of striking St and 3pts of Arm ST.

If Khan is Parahuman and not Eugenic we're talking a possible ST of 30 with gengineered Lift +Strike on top of that plus Explosive Stength for another+5 at the cost of 1FP.

Khan might have been "only" Eugenic as it was implied but not made explicit in Wrath that one of his younger followers was his son by the woman from the Enterprise crew who went into exile with him.

On the other hand, the Augments from the 4th season Enterprise arc were defintely maxed out TL11 Parahumans.

Finally as regards ST and bulk Gurps is quite mild on this issue with no more than the Build table which suggest a normal Build for ST14+ of 6"2 and 170 lbs. At a certain pt this is obviously cinematic but so is Star Trek.
