Actually, if I do as I normally do and work written material through the V&V rules, or just use this song in-game, it's really not a problem. It's never explicitly stated per se, but strength in the game is relative -- you always have enough to move your body weight, and the STR rating is how much stronger you are than is needed just to get around. This can be seen explicitly in the carry capacity equation -- which is based on strength, endurance and body weight -- the heavier you are, the more you can carry. A 100-lb character with 10 STR has a much lower carry cap than a 2-ton STR 10 character.
The only place where body weight directly affects you is in Agility -- there's a penalty to AG that starts at, oh, I think 500 lbs and goes up the heavier you get.
So if Doug were to go Colossus (and it included an increased body weight), he'd get much stronger without needing additional Heightened Strength, but he'd slow down a bit. Fair trade-off.
