from what I know of it, the huge strength comes not from anything in the drug, but from the pain killing properties that the disassociation with one's nervous system produces.
normally there is a feeling or pain treshold that will stop one from following through on activities (heat, pressure, tension, etc). your body has a safety range and will give you warning if it thinks you will surpass that and then hurt yourself.
but pcp doesn't allow that to function correctly, so you get a superman feeling from the invincible way you don't feel things happening to you.
the downside is when it wears off, you will feel it all just like you used to.
pcp is intense enough that it will allow one to take full on hits of mace or cap-stun and not feel the pain, even though the mucus membranes still physically will respond the correct way.
there are many stories of policemen not realizing that the person is on pcp and handcuffing them, and then having the person either break out of the cuffs or break their wrist in order to get out of them.
my most favorite pcp story from a policeman friend of mine in high school was that once he was called to a man on a telephone pole (on of the large splintery wooden ones). he arrived at the scene and it was a 20something man, totally naked, standing at the very top of a telephone pole yelling out random shit at the people below.
the policeman got out of the car and started trying to talk/yell to the person up above. he finally alluded that the man would eventually need to come down from there, so why wouldn't he just come down the easy way. the man paused, contemplated, and then proceeded to wrap his arms and legs around the pole as if it were a metal firehouse pole and slid down... totally naked. when he got to the bottom, he just stood there, as if nothing had just happened, oblivious to the splinters and burns all over him.
pcp also causes what is essentially scizophrenia in the brain by expaning the area of activation that the neurons trigger, so it is feasible to get some strange thoughts and/or see/hear things that aren't there.
