I was looking at the sample evocation spell Earth Stomp (YS 293). The spell is opposed by the target's Might. Now, lets assume the target is a Zombie (OW 93). It has Mediocre (+0) Might (I assume, since the skill is not specifically listed), but also has the Inhuman Strength [-2] Supernatural Power (YS 193). For purposes of defending against Earth Stomp, what would the Zombie's adjusted Might be? Does it get the +3 to Might as per Improved Lifting, +1 Might as per Bruising Strength, or does Inhuman Strength [-2] really not apply in this situation? Or, maybe use the Supernatural Power's refresh penalty as a positive increase (+2 in this case)?
Also, isn't it suspicious that all my page references above end in 93, even across the different books? :-\

I'd go with Bruising Strength, in that lifting is a noncombat activity, while using might to bruise is a combat activity; the context of Earth Stomp is combat, so.
(Basically the idea behind the different bonus levels for Might is big bonuses in not-fighting stuff, smaller bonuses in fighting stuff. So, that's how that logic would carry through for me.)

i would say its really a gm's choice but personally i would probably go mid way and give a plus 2 to might for defending against earth stomp with inhuman strength. Also it is kinda odd about the 93 thing lol ;D
