Are they just that damn strong, but we haven't seen them do much besides fight? So no real lifting feats. Was it just bad writing? PIS?
They captured one of the five who seemed to have some impact on Luke, but then the guy should have been able to bust out immediately of his restraints if his strength was on that level.
It's not totally clear cut with all of the Fingers. They all appear to have some level of enhancement (beyond their extended lifespans), but to extremely varying degrees. Some, like Gao, had blatant tk blasts and enhanced strength, as well as enhanced durability. Murakami, based on his two fights with Luke and Jessica possesses -some- degree of enhanced strength, but nothing major. He was stupidly tough though. Beyond all the hits he takes from people like Luke, he takes a pretty high drop off that elevator in the finale, and was impaled by a piece of rebar on landing, yet was still alive when Gao showed up again. Bakuto tanked three gunshots to the chest as well, so also seemed to have some enhanced damage soak. And Sowande affected Luke via pressure point techniques. When Stick was talking about him, he still said something along the lines of Sowande being able to slow your heart until it stops with just a few moves. Alexandra is implied to be the most powerful, but has by far the least feats. All she does is handle a freshly resurrected Black Sky, who had no memories and was disorientated at the time.
