What a super ability the Italian players have. Superpowers of people. The most amazing human superpowers
In funds mass media often talk about people capable of incredible actions. Tissue regeneration, weather control and levitation - is there anything impossible? Of course, many abilities are the invention of a science fiction writer, but it's no secret that you can develop some of them in yourself. There is an opinion that many of our skills were inherited from our ancestors, who were more susceptible to exoteric knowledge. So, we dodge an unexpectedly falling object, we feel an inexplicable danger from a person. What superpowers of people are found today?
Clairvoyance
This is the ability to see events in the past and future, as well as in parallel worlds. To transfer images to a conscious level, it is necessary to use one more skill - clarity. People with supernormal abilities in these areas can simulate the likelihood of actions and their living at a fast pace. In reality, the individual uses the experience gained and can change the future. It is believed that such a gift can be developed using a variety of techniques and exercises. When passing the stages of cognition, the mind opens, and thinking becomes multifaceted, and not linear, like ordinary people.
Extrasensory perception
There are superpowers in people who are distinguished by extraordinary sensitivity to all types of energy. This phenomenon is called extrasensory perception. The owner of this skill sees auras, chakras, feels disturbances at the energy level. The detected changes the psychic is able to cure, but only with the help of words.
Insensitive to cold and heat
The famous Wim Hof, nicknamed "The Ice Man", developed the ability to control the autonomous functions of the body throughout his life. Through the use of special techniques and meditations, he became a world record holder in many categories. For example, he spent several hours in an ice bath without consequences for the body, climbed Everest in some shorts. Scientists, after conducting a number of studies, have come to the conclusion that Wim Hof controls the level of stress hormone and anti-inflammatory molecules in the blood, thereby allowing vegetative processes to accelerate. But this is not the only case of manifestation of insensitivity to aggressive environmental factors. Ordinary people, without any preparation, also survived after facing the cold. So, the pilot Yuri Kozlovsky made a bailout in winter. When he fell, he received an open fracture of both legs, but was able to survive in the tundra, spending three days there.
And here is the opposite example of human superpower. African American Willie Jones, having received heatstroke at an air temperature of 32.2 degrees, was able to survive. Although his body warmed up to 46.5 degrees, and he was already 52 years old. An unusual "friendship" with fire was recorded by the Guinness Book of Records. Reg Morris, a professional fire-eater, managed to breathe out a 9.4-meter-long burning flame, after which he extinguished 22888 torches by putting it in his mouth in two hours. The results of scientific experiments have shown that the maximum temperature with which a person can come into contact is 841 degrees Celsius. It is to this size that coals and stones are heated, on which ritual dances and barefoot walks are performed.
Absolute memory
No less famous are the superpowers of people in memorizing a lot of material, pictures of the world around them. For example, in 1974 in Burma, Bhandanta Visichara recited 16,000 pages of Buddhist texts by heart. Gu Yang Lin from China was able to memorize 15 thousand phone numbers of the city of Harbin by heart, and Barbara Moore from America sang 1,852 songs in 19 days. In 1990, the Guinness Book of Records added Samvel Gharibyan from Yerevan to its list, who from the first time remembered 960 out of 1000 unfamiliar words dictated to him.
You can remember not only numbers and words, an example of which is the artist Wiltshire, who has a phenomenal photographic memory. Flying in a helicopter over New York, he was able to recreate the picture he saw on canvas in all its details. Kim Peek, who suffers from Opitz-Kavegia syndrome, could read two pages of a book at the same time, and even after several years, retell them exactly.
Analyzers work at the top level
There are people in the world with supernormal abilities who are able to feel the taste most vividly and intensely. They are called super tasters. The reason for this phenomenon is the large number of special papillae in the tongue. Oddly enough, this ability is most inherent in women from Asia and Africa. Usually people with superpowers of this type refuse to eat food containing bitterness, since for them this is the most palpable taste.
A person who has perfect pitch is able to reproduce a sound without mentioning it, name the notes of a chord, and recognize the pitch of everyday sounds. To have this skill, you need to mentally classify sounds into categories. According to the studies carried out in this matter, it can be concluded that absolute pitch is most common in a sound linguistic environment and with a pitch accent. These regions include Japan, Vietnam, areas of China where Mandarin and Cantonese are spoken. People with supernormal abilities in this area are most often either blind from birth or suffer from a mental disorder.
Another unusual skill that has been repeatedly recorded in the world is tetrachromatism. This is the ability to see not only the red, green and blue regions of the spectrum, but also additional areas, which leads to the ability to perceive 100 million colors. This phenomenon occurs most often in women, and the ability can be transferred to a man, but already in the form of color blindness.
Echolocation
Superpowers of people are especially clearly manifested as a result of any violations. So, for orientation in space, blind individuals can recreate sound, and determine the location of objects by the echo. You can produce sound by clicking your tongue or tapping with a stick. Daniel Kish is an example of someone who has this ability. In infancy, he lost his sight, but was able to compensate for his absence by clicking his tongue. As an adult, he taught about 500 children his way of learning about the world. Studies using magnetic resonance imaging have shown that the brains of people who have mastered echolocation have undergone a number of changes. Thus, the visual cortex adapts to the processing of echo, distance and direction of sound waves. This development of human superpowers allows you to travel long distances in any conditions.
Chimerism
Superpowers of a person may seem incredible at first glance, but they are easily explained in a scientific way. Chimerism is extremely rare and is due to the fusion of two fertilized eggs early in pregnancy. With this intercourse, each population of cells retains its genetic character, and the resulting embryo becomes a mixture of the two parental DNA. There are no more than 40 cases of chimerism recorded in the world. There is an assumption that chimeras are people of a new generation, whom nature adapts to global changes on the planet in the future.
Synesthesia
Superpowers of people can manifest themselves in the association of letters, numbers, words with certain colors and tastes. The phenomenon is explained by the stimulation of certain sensory or cognitive channels, which leads to an involuntary response of other channels. Synesthesia most often manifests itself in grapheme-color form. There are other forms of this phenomenon - the vision of a certain location of the date in space, or the perception of sounds in color. According to the results of studies conducted in 2006, scientists concluded that one in 23 people has synesthesia. Among the famous people with this phenomenon were Vladimir Nabokov, Nikola Tesla and others.
People-counters
You can often see on TV that a person can multiply huge numbers in his mind almost instantly. Research in this area has led to the assumption that the cause of supernormal abilities is increased blood flow in a certain part of the brain. An example of someone who can count quickly is Shakuntala Devi from India. The woman in front of the commission multiplied two thirteen-digit numbers, taken at random, in 28 seconds. And Alexander Nekrasov from Lipetsk in 61 seconds was able to extract the thousandth root of a number consisting of 547 digits. The list of "Human superpowers" in the field of counting is not so small, in almost every country you can find an individual with such a phenomenon.
"Powerful Fist"
Gino Martino is a superpower owner. A professional wrestler could easily break hard objects with his head, such as iron bars, concrete blocks. Gino Martino's skull even withstood the impact of a bowling ball, which was thrown from a five-meter height.
Masutatsu Oyama was distinguished by incredible strength. He was a martial artist that no one could defeat. In addition to his invincibility in battle, Masutatsu Oyama became famous for the fact that he knocked down one with the blow of an angry bull.
Buddhist monks have always been distinguished by skills beyond the control of ordinary people. So, through the practice of "inner fire", they could significantly increase their body temperature. Master Zhou could heat objects with his own hands, for example, he could easily dry clay or bring water to a boil. He was also distinguished by the ability to heal seriously ill patients, including those suffering from cancer, by simple touching.
Incredible abilities
In France, there was a man who could eat anything. His name was Michel Lotito. Between 1959 and 1997, he ate approximately nine tons of metal, in the form of televisions, bicycles, shopping carts, a coffin, an airplane, and part of the Eiffel Tower. The scientific world calls this phenomenon "picacism" or eating disorder, which is expressed in an extraordinary craving for inedible things.
Do people have superpowers that make it possible to recognize a disease in a person at a glance? It turns out there is. At the age of 10, a girl named Natasha Demkina discovered her gift - to see through human skin. Numerous studies have confirmed her ability. People began to come to her to establish a diagnosis. Natalia was nicknamed "The Girl with X-ray Eyes" and even the Discovery Channel released a documentary about her superpowers.
Science fiction in real life
Real people with superpowers, the list of which we will continue, are represented by the skills to ignite objects and float above the ground. Many of us dreamed of learning to fly, feeling freedom of movement. Scotsman Daniel Hume made that dream come true. Witnesses confirm the fact that he got off the ground and could hang under the ceiling. In 1867, a psychic and spiritualist, in front of numerous spectators, flew out of the third-floor window and came back. D. Hume's speeches were attended by famous people (Napoleon Bonaparte), researchers, scientists, but no one was able to catch him in a lie. Another amazing and inexplicable ability was possessed by Nelly Kulagina. She could separate the yolk from the protein without touching the egg, and she could also stop the heart of animals. Scientists during the experiments could only record her rapid heartbeat, reaching up to 250 beats.
Science fiction films tell us about heroes who can set objects on fire at a glance. It turns out that this is not fiction. In Mongolia, there really was a girl named Batmukhin Unurme who possessed such a gift, but, unfortunately, she never managed to take control of her ability. She spent the end of her life in a hospital with a nervous breakdown.

How can you develop your abilities? In fact, there are a lot of techniques, starting with breathing exercises and meditation, and ending with hypnosis. Some organizations even invite to the training "Human superpowers". If we combine information on the methods of developing special skills, then we come to the following conclusion: the most important condition is compliance healthy way life. The spirit must also be healthy. It is necessary to give vent to negative emotions during physical activity, having understood the reasons why they were caused. Exercise should be done regularly without succumbing to laziness. It must be remembered that the stronger a person becomes, the greater his responsibility to the world.

100 Gru (Destroyer Duck)
Closes TOP 100 most powerful superheroes, space duck.
Not everything wearing a tight leotard can be considered a superhero. While humanity resists and decides who is cooler and stronger - Captain America or Iron Man - we thank the gods of Olympus for the fact that not only the guys from the list below are guarding our peace.
Thunderer
This guy's superpower is that he screams very, very, VERY loud... But even then - not because of their powerful vocal cords, but because of the microphone built into the suit.Vibe
Dancing break dance in a way that is not even done in Indian films. Has ceased to be completely useless after Batman showed him what and how to do with his superpower, but still.
Madam Fatal
Fatal granny in a red hat who punished bad guys powerful blows with a stick... In fact, Madame Fatal is a man with a heightened sense of justice, who decided that no one would suspect a nice woman in the fight against crime, and put on a red skirt.
Stone Boy
Knows how to turn into a static, immovable stone... Lives according to the scheme "in any incomprehensible situation, become a cobblestone." Over time, Stone Boy still learned to move in stone form - apparently, when the creators realized that their hero is as ridiculous as possible.
Sabu (Sabu)
This dude super capable of eating N-number of Indian food and continue to enjoy life. His story is something. Sabu flew from Jupiter to fight evil, but tried Indian cuisine - and then something went wrong.
Jubilee
Anniversary knows how to shoot fireworks straight from his fingers... At corporate parties, weddings, anniversaries and banquets in real life it would be more in demand than Urgant and even (okay, it's debatable here). All in all, a truly useful skill.
Fruit Boy
Market vendors with crates of oranges, tremble and pray! Fruit Boy is your patron and storm. He is capable of many things: can make the fruit ripen faster, can make it overripe and ... nothing else... Such a useless superpower that Fruit Boy was dismissed from the Legion of Superheroes quickly, abruptly and bullet-proof.
Color Kid
Standard coolstory: the boy was an assistant in the laboratory, he was attacked with a multi-colored beam, after which he learned to paint everything that surrounds him in a different color... Color Kid is one of the main members of the Legion of Substitute Superheroes (it's like the Legion of Superheroes, only its Chinese version).
Red Bee
Insect superheroes, no matter how ridiculous it may sound, are usually cool and popular with the public - take the same Spider-Man or Ant-Man. But Red Bee is an exception to the rule. All that he can-can-practice is train bees to serve him... Considering that these insects live on average for 2 months, so-so superpower.
Matter-Eater
Slightly less ridiculous than Sabu, for his power is also associated with eating. The advantage of the Matter-Eater "is that it can eat anything - in any quantity and very quickly... Cement, metal, earth, Dima Bilan's discs - anything at all.
Squirrel Girl
In the early 90s, comics were mired in drama and decay no holiday... And then there was a girl who could dominate and control proteins... Who is this Joker of yours if a gang of squirrels is against him ?!
Doorman
The standard and pretty cool teleportation superpower is very easy to wrap up in absurdity. For example, if you create a hero like Doorman who can only move between adjacent rooms... Doors are for weaklings.
Cypher
If Google Translate were a superhero, his name would be Cypher. This guy knows all existing languages and can translate from any one to any other... Any philology student would kill for such a skill.
Hindsight Lad (Human Retrospective)
Every company has its own personal kind of Retrospective Person, and everyone genuinely hates him. This "hero" tells you how you should have done in the past so that now everything will work out as it should... Reads notations, teaches life and clearly describes the answer to the question "what if?"
Bouncing Boy
It can swell up to a huge ball in a second and jump, emitting characteristic "po-po-po-po" sounds... Who hasn't dreamed of becoming the Ball Man as a child ?!
Do you believe in Superman and Wolverine, but you know for sure that there are no superheroes? We hasten to dissuade you! It turns out that some unusual abilities do exist, and people endowed with them can compete with everyone Avengers put together! We tell you about the most incredible gene mutations.
Incredibly strong bones
The gene for super-strong bones was found in Africans of Dutch descent. Apparently, it turned out such a mad mixture that now these people are practically bulletproof! This group of people is not losing mass. bone tissue throughout life (like a mere mortal), but, on the contrary, increases it. And with age, they only become more resilient. By the way, even the skin of such people is aging very slowly.
HIV resistance
Some people have a genetic mutation that turns off their copies of the protein CCR5... This is exactly the kind of protein that HIV uses it as a kind of door to the human body. In some people, a genetic mutation has been found that turns off the mechanism of its reproduction. Therefore, if a person does not have CCR5, the disease cannot enter his cells. However, there is a problem here. Scientists have shown that people with this mutation are not exactly immune to HIV, but simply more stable. There were some among them who contracted and died from AIDS a.
Photographic memory
.gif)
As a rule, people who have photographic memory, that is, they remember a huge amount of information on the fly, and almost from the first minutes of their lives, suffer from autism. Interestingly, these people are usually completely asocial, but as soon as they look at a book or see a movie in an unfamiliar language, they immediately remember and analyze everything. Do you remember the movie "Rain Man"? Raymond Babbit was able to recite the contents of about 12 thousand books by heart.
Super smell
Everything in the lives of these people is associated with smells. They distinguish the slightest shades of them, even where ordinary people do not feel anything, like the hero of a novel Patrick Suskind "Perfumer"... Yes, it is not easy for such people to live, because they can constantly suffer from bad smells, even get seriously ill, as soon as their nose smells something unpleasant. But, on the other hand, they are able to enjoy inaccessible aromas.
Immortal cells
In 1951, a certain Henrietta Lacks was found cervical cancer, and after a year of serious illness, she died. But before that, a surgeon who trained with her family doctor took a sample of the woman's tumor tissue and conducted an experiment. Scientist propagated tissue sample Henrietta into an endless cell line - a line HeLa... In cells from a tumor Lax was an active form of the enzyme that spreads at an unusually fast rate. On the day of death Henrietta Lacks doctor Guy announced to the world that a new age in medical research had begun - one that could provide cancer treatment.
Cells today HeLa very common in laboratories. Cells HeLa even more than during life Henrietta Lacks, - they outweigh its physical mass many times. These cells have also been used to develop cures for polio, AIDS, radiation, toxicity and, incidentally, for cloning.
Abbreviated sleep
It seems that everyone dreams of such superpowers, but instead we get super sleepiness! It turns out that people who need five hours of sleep to feel awake exist. The fact is that they have a rare genetic gene mutation DEC2... It leads to the fact that the need for long sleep is reduced. If ordinary people sleep six hours or less, they will begin to experience negative effects almost immediately. And in people with a gene mutation DEC2 that's no problem at all. Wonders!
Echolocation
Echolocation is usually developed in the blind. And it develops, even if a person has completely lost his sight at a conscious age. It is true that Batman it was also developed with sharp eyesight. The fact is that bats are endowed with echolocation. It works like this: they send a sound signal into the darkness and from the reflection of the sound wave they calculate the distance to invisible objects. The blind can imagine the distance to objects by the reflection of a sound wave, this helps to navigate in space in complete darkness.
Cold resistance
Stocking up for the winter with a mountain of blankets and felt boots? But for people who do not feel the cold, even in a swimsuit, go in winter! Inhabitants of cold places (for example, Eskimos) often have this ability. They exhibit amazing physiological responses to low temperatures. This level of adaptation testifies to a genetic component, since not a single person who has moved to cold regions will get used to low temperatures even in 10 years. Scientists have found that, for example, indigenous Siberians are better adapted to the cold even in comparison with the newcomers living among them. This adaptation partly explains why Australians can sleep on the ground without a blanket when the nights are cold on cold nights, and the Eskimos thrive in freezing temperatures for most of their lives.
Synesthesia
Synesthesia is most often a genetic feature and manifests itself in the connection of letters or numbers with certain colors, when the excitation of some sensors entails an involuntary reaction of others. Imagine that each number and letter you involuntarily associate with a certain color or a word evokes certain taste sensations. Although synesthesia is a neurological disorder, it does not imply disability. For the most part, those who have it do not feel that it has a negative impact on their lives. By the way, Vladimir Nabokov suffered from synesthesia.
Inability to increase cholesterol
While many of us are not very worried about limiting our intake of fatty foods, then some people can generally eat all of this in any amount. Regardless of what they eat, cholesterol remains practically at zero. They lack working copies of the gene PCSK9... While it's not a good thing to be born with a missing gene, there are certain positive effects in this case. True, while scientists have found these mutations in only a few African Americans, their risk of developing cardiovascular diseases is reduced by 90%. And pharmaceutical companies have begun working on a pill that will block PCSK9 from other people. The drug is almost ready for approval.
Genetic chimerism
Chimerism scientifically also called tetragametism. It so happens that two fertilized eggs or embryos in the early stages of pregnancy fuse, resulting in a person carrying two sets of genes rather than one. Sometimes this is reflected in the appearance and physical condition of a person, and sometimes it is revealed only during analysis DNA... The medical literature describes about a hundred such cases. It is assumed that chimerism in humans is a consequence of parental infertility drugs. For example, in one woman, the parameters of the head differed markedly from the parameters of the body. When she was supposed to have a kidney transplant, it turned out that none of her sons could be a donor, since she ... is not their mother. And research has shown that a woman's ovaries have two genomes.
