One of his most impressive feats was grabbing Dragon by her tail, temporarily stopping her. He has been shown lifting an adult man in armor above his head and throwing him like a rag doll, carrying both Donkey and Fiona at once, breaking through a wooden door with little difficulty, and moving a large rock all by himself. Superhuman Strength: As an ogre, Shrek has immense physical strength far superior to ordinary humans.Thankfully, another save from Donkey brought an end to Farquaad's reign, and Shrek and Fiona lived happily ever after. However, Fiona also revealed a secret, which mades Farquaad decide not to marry Fiona, and he tries to kill her. Getting his deed, Shrek headed back to his swamp, but a confrontation with Donkey cleared up the misunderstanding, and Shrek went to Fiona's wedding to reveal his love to her. Due to a misunderstanding though, Shrek allowed Fiona to go with Farquaad to marry him, even though he loved her. Along the way though, the two fell in love. Shrek and Donkey traveled to the castle, rescued Fiona, and began traveling back to Duloc. After confronting Farquaad, he and Shrek made a deal if Shrek could rescue Princess Fiona from her castle and bring her back to Farquaad, he would receive the deed to his swamp. To get his home back, Shrek & Donkey traveled to Duloc so they could get Shrek's ownership of the swamp back. It wasn't long after that when several other fairy tail creatures were forced to move into Shrek's swamp by Lord Farquaad, ruler of Duloc.
He lived by himself in a swamp for many years before meeting Donkey, his soon to be best friend. When Shrek turned 7 years old, his parents sent him off to live on his own, as all ogres do.
