Are there superpowers in real life? There are many people who would be delighted to have extraordinary abilities like some of the superheroes that appear in science fiction and fantasy movies and series, but the truth is that there are superpowers that some people can really have and some of them are quite rare.
What superpowers exist and which are the rarest in the world?
There are people in the world, although they are usually quite isolated cases that have superpowers or what could be considered as a superpower. The fact of, for example, being able to read people’s minds , or even communicate through the mind (telepathy) or also, being able to visualize the future could be considered superpowers of which different samples have been given in humans along the way. throughout history.
But there are also other superpowers, some of which are quite rare. For example, there are cases that have been documented of people who have magnetism, that is, they attract metals and in these cases it seems that everything is because they have greater skin friction so somehow their skin attracts not only metals, but also other elements such as wood or plastic.
There are also people who are capable of intensifying some senses. This is the case of those who have synesthesia , which corresponds to the fact of experiencing one sense and that this leads to experiencing another sense in parallel . People who, in turn, have another superpower called chromesthesia, which is the ability to see sound as a color.
Superpowers we can learn
On the other hand, there are some superpowers that can be learned, such as echolocation , which has to do with the ability to feel where objects are in space simply by listening to how sound bounces off them. A skill that as we say we can learn but that is innate in some animal species such as bats and dolphins.
Another superpower that people can learn is to regulate their body temperature . It is done through what is known as ” tummo meditation. ” There is a famous case of this. That of Wim Hof, also known as »The Iceman«, who was able to climb Mount Everest wearing only shorts and shoes thanks to the fact that he practiced this type of meditation with which he was able to warm up his body.
These are some of the superpowers that have been documented or that in fact even as we say, we can develop from our abilities so maybe it is just a matter of trying.
