strong has 12 distinct synonyms spread across 7 of its 10 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is weak.

having strength or power greater than average or expected
“a strong radio signal”
having or wielding force or authority
