While I'm sure Jag, Spoons and Devil have come along and cleared this up already, steroids will not make you superstrong and super-muscular. Hard work will do that.would that constitute having a superpower. Superstrength gained from using lots of steroids.
I'm sure you've met cancer patients, or others who take steroids medicinally, and they are a far cry from superhuman; in fact they're usually fat, bloated, and covered in ance. While not all steroids carry the same side effects, and while some display no side effects even while on the most potent of steroids, steroids are a science unto themselves for the user. There are very specific dietary and training guidelines and programs they use while on them.
There are also a lot of idiots who use steroids because, like your thread implies, they think they will get superpowers or it will fix very serious flaws in their training and dieting philosophies for them without any real work being required on their part. Those people end up creating the worst name for anabolics, because they often fall prey easily to the side effects, and also don't monitor their usage. Steroids are to only be implemented with a purpose, and only to be implemented after you've exhausted your genetics limits and have a clear understanding of your diet and exercise requirements. If you can't do it without steroids, you can't do it with them either.
