Captured soldier and queen might (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

power

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'might' is the definition.
(being mighty)

'captured soldier and queen' is the wordplay.
'captured soldier' becomes 'pow' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'queen' becomes 'ER' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth).
'pow'+'er'='POWER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for power that I've seen before include "Large amount" , "Exponent" , "Government" , "Strength, force" , "Electricity or strength" .)
