For things far beyond the norm pick 「桁外れ」, 「並み外れ」, 「人並みはずれた」, 「途轍もない」, 「途方もない」 or 「桁違い」, which stresses comparison; 「途方もない」 often leans negative. 「目覚ましい」 fits striking progress, 「抜群」 means far above the rest, 「格別」 distinctively special, and 「非凡」, 「希代」 and 「超凡」 are written words for the exceptional.
