Not that I'm doubting Cúchulainn's ferocity or efficacy in battle, it's just that Judges 13:16 paints Samson as quite the Herculean warrior and liberator/leader of Israel:

(King James Version)

Young Samson gets attacked by a lion:

6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid [as in a goat, before anyone suggests otherwise], and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
Samson loses a bet because the other guys cheat:

Samson in reaction to his wife being given to another man due to a misunderstanding:

3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.

4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.

5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
Samson kills the Philistines that killed his wife:

8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
Samson allows himself to be bound and handed over to the Philistines, kills one thousand of them with a jawbone, then makes a humorous poem about it (it doesn't rhyme in the King James Version, but it does in others):

12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.

13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.

14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.

15 And he found a new jawbone of an ***, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ***, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an *** have I slain a thousand men.
Samson dies and does more than chop off the bad guy's arm:

26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.

27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.

28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.

30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
AND he doesn't even have to look disfigured... except in the last one, since his eyes were gouged out... there're some other feats of strength and killing Philistines and such, but I got lazy... it's almost 5am and I have yet to go to sleep: read Judges 13-16 if you want the full story.
