Comics v Reality/ Strength of Arms
What would be the ideal melee weapon for someone with superhuman strength?

Many comics, video games and movies feature implausibly huge weapons, which would be completely impractical in real combat. Sometimes people defend the realism of such huge weapons by stating that the characters wielding them have superhuman strength. However, when real physics come into play, having superhuman strength still doesn't make these weapons practical. No matter how strong you are, swinging such a weapon would throw you off balance, unless you were bolted to the floor or you were so heavy that you would sink into the ground. Also, swords were very quick and nimble weapons, there is not much use in a sword which you can swing exactly once before needing to regain your balance (or get up again after you fell because of the inertia throwing you off your feet).
For this scenario
You're you, whoever you are and you're strong. Not just "i lift bro" strength...I'm talking up to about a couple tons....anyway, you're not the only one and a shitload of other strong mfers have shown up as well. Que plot and beef ensues...
You have no other superhuman qualities (except those required by this increase of strength to not break his bones or rip his joints apart) . Given enough money and the best smiths you can find, could one design a weapon which would be better suited to utilize your strength, than a regular, standard-issue hand weapon?
Sounds dumb and they aren't lethal used by regular humans. But throwing stars, knives, hell, metal balls if thrown at 300 mph would be like bullets to regular humans. Otherwise, a glaive or spear that is balanced all the way through would help with balance.

I wouldnt say super durable...you can still be stabbed, bludgeoned to death. You're just a strong mfer. Youre bones etc are stronger than norm due to the strength increase but u can still be stabbed in the heart.
And im looking for strickly h2h weapons...no ranged gear
Unless you are extremely heavy you will be extremely limited by the move-set of a super-heavy melee weapon. Not only does a horizontally extended weapon displace your center of gravity, a fast upward swing will carry your body off the ground and horizontal swings will throw you off your feet too, regardless of how strong you are.
Historically the main benefits of large weapons has been reach and durability. But as metalwork advanced swords became thinner and lighter—see rapiers and sabers.

U wouldnt b able to stop your superhumanly strong aggressor from driving themselves right up the length of the spear and into you, With the amount of strength you have i dont see a spear as beneficial
