Too complicated. I'll just beat someone's head in. 😛

So what i haveis a halberd/bo staff/ nun chuck/ mace/ three part staff with blades.

Sounds like the world's most murderous Swiss Army Knife. All that's missing is a gadget for getting the stones out of horse's hooves!

Think about it, I'm swinging it like an axe directed to an opponent 50 feet away and mid swing hit the release that lets the axe blade fly as a n projectile when i stop mid swing. Ave blade imbedded in opponents chest while i strike a nearer apponent over the head with my mace like bow staff (and all the leverage courtesy of length making my strength that much worse). Another two opponents approach from either side as the second one falls and a twist and depress of a button has me with two separated bladed ends swing and slicing their throats.

Now if i could do a work around to have some return for the blade (specially polarized magnets maybe) it would be perfect

OK if I can design my own weapon than I choose a shorter version of a three part staff with spiked weighted sections at each end like Riv's Kanabo, an additional break apart with longer chain in the middle (allowing it to also be used as a nun chuck) and double edged bladed that eject from either end. Made from a titanium./admantium/vibranium alloy

Basically about as versatile a weapon as on could possibly want.

This sounds unweildy

Do you become expert with it when u pick I like the chain with razors attached to it.

I fail to see how.
Three part staffs exist with the ejecting blades already and have the mechanism set to easily separate during battle. It would be smaller tha a standard bo staff. All that's really added is the weighted ends (and I'm not talkjng significantly say a few pounds each) blade and another separation and release mechanism.

No. I mean you are still you. Just strong af. So unless you have had training irl then no.

This was a google search of three part staffs.
You can see some with a blade. I've used one that has two in an exhibition. The three staff pieces usually screw into each other and the chains or cord fit in a small gap near screw connection. Depending on make some unscrew into segments and some have a release button/clip. Some have a fixed blade others pop out from staff end.

When my service is back up I'll try and find the best example

As you can see more reach than most melee weapons.

Heres one vs a conventional bo staff

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?

Mjolnir but longer.

Obviously the magic is out but if money is no object you just need the hardest materials you can get. The strap on Mjolnir is the best feature cause then you can swing harder, but it's too short in the comics to multiply Thor's strength really, but if it were longer it would.

^^^It'll still hit harder than your fist, though. 👆
