The original seems stronger then his page currently suggests....
Arm Strength
He has the ability to crush a cottage with his might:
"I could with pleasure have destroyed the cottage and its inhabitants, and have glutted myself with their shrieks and misery."
(Frankenstein, Chapter 16)
Can tear up the trees
"I, like the arch-fiend, bore a hell within me; and, finding myself unsympathised with, wished to tear up the trees, spread havoc and destruction around me, and then to have sat down and enjoyed the ruin."
(Frankenstein, Chapter 16)
Leg Strength/Speed/Superleaping:
"As I said this, I suddenly beheld the figure of a man, at some distance, advancing towards me with superhuman speed. He bounded over the crevices in the ice, among which I had walked with caution; his stature, also, as he approached, seemed to exceed that of man."
-(Frankenstein, Chapter 10)
Considering both distance and timeframe this is a potential Subsonic Feat.
He has ranged through the woods at the speed of a stag:
"and ranging through the wood with a stag like swiftness."
-(Frankenstein, Chapter 16)
For the record, stags have been recorded at running 40 mph before.
He has easily bounded down a mountain with greater speed the an eagle in flight.
"Saying this, he suddenly quitted me, fearful, perhaps, of any change in my sentiments. I saw him descend the mountain with greater speed than the flight of an eagle, and quickly lost among the undulations of the sea of ice."
-(Frankenstein, Chapter 17)
Eagles can reach upwards of 100 mph in flight.
