Durge stops a charging speeder bike with his bare hands then lifts it up and uses it as a bludgeon. Later he breaks a heavy metal/plastic table in two with a blow from his fists and sweeps armoured Clone Troopers away like they're gnats. He also withstands dozens of blaster shots and shrugs off electrical discharge.
And you seriously claim he's not superhuman?
Not to mention regeneration itself could be considered superhuman since it's an ability regular humans do not possess.
Wookies can rip limbs out of their sockets. I'm pretty sure that requires superhuman strength.
I made the Durge RT, brother, I know he's superhuman, but he's above a standard Gen'Dai. Even as a kid he outclassed most of them, IIRC.
Just "regenerating" doesn't honestly strike me as superhuman, nor does tearing a limb out of a socket. Of course we can list individuals and fall back on anecdotal fallacies, but most of these species -- to me anyways -- are just peak humans. Which I deem as outclassing standard humans, but not reaching Jedi levels yet.

And the idea that Gen'Dai aren't superhumanly fast, strong or durable is ridiculous beyond measure.
Sure, you can argue Gen'Dai are superhuman, but with what? With a few exceptions like Durge who was a fine specimen of a Gen'Dai in terms of physical capability, while a kid, prior to hundreds of years of training under some of history's deadliest Bounty Hunters and gaining armor that amplified his reaction time and strength?

There was a kid in Maul: Lockdown who exhibited superhuman speed by throwing 50 punches in a few seconds, killing a few guys in the process. The technique was called "the fifty two fists".
I actually made a respect blog for Fringe characters who are superhuman, including him. The kid overall was pretty strong.

Why do you consider the First Order superhuman then?
