[Conan the Barbarian] Is Conan the strongest regular human on his setting? Considering only his physical strength.

Conan is arguably "The Strongest" or perhaps "The Mightiest," but that honestly has more to do with all of his traits together rather than just his physical strength. He's actually very smart: Conan speaks dozens of languages some of which are ancient (to better delve forgotten tombs) and he's quite savvy in politics; not only is a King for most of his life, he has been a leader many, many times of both his own tribe as well as dozens of cities, armies, and pirate organizations.

He's obviously very physically fit (although he has encountered many who are stronger in terms of raw strength) and is one of the most accomplished warriors of his era. In terms of his fighting skills and battle knowledge there are few in his world better than him (though they do exist). Tactically he's gifted, although he also knows his limits and generally listens to better tacticians when he's in charge.

However where Conan excels, indeed is unarguably superior to all others, is his willpower. Conan does not give up. Time and time again he is found to be spent, defeated, exhausted, and bear death, yet he digs into his reservoir of willpower to edge out a victory. He wins because he simply won't allow himself to lose. Be it when a Great Ape is crushing him in a vise like hug or when he must fight through an entire city to escape, or the depths of the greatest battle history ever recorded: Conan will no give up.

In this, he is unmatched, and it's why he seems so strong. His willpower often enhances his other physical traits: allows him to break impossible binds, bend steel, snap necks, fight for hours on end, climb sheer surfaces, avoid certain death, and all of that. It makes his base abilities seem supernatural when in reality they are just human (peak human in many ways). However his Willpower is beyond human, something that many a sorcerer, god, or demon has remarked upon (often right before having their heads swept from their shoulders by his sword).
