We know what you're thinking. Science is great. Well you're wrong! Science is stupid and it spoils everything. Sure it might be the reason we're so advanced as a species and sure it may be utilised to save hundreds, thousands or possibly millions of lives a day but when it comes down to the crunch science is just a great big ass**le. In fact science is like the kid at school that knows how the magic trick you impressed everyone with really works and he's not afraid to tell everyone and turn you from hero to zero in no time at all. You may wonder where I'm going with this (you clearly didn't read the title of this feature) so I'll explain. I defy any of you out there to say that at some point in your life - no matter how briefly it may have been for - wanted to be a superhero. And why wouldn't you? They have the best lives, have amazing powers, can fly and always get the girl. Or the guy. Tell me you haven't daydreamed in class about picking your school up with one hand and launching it into orbit so that you can have the day off playing video games instead or using your x-ray vision to meticulously peel off the clothes of the hot woman sat two seats behind you on the bus. All pretty cool scenarios I'm sure we'd all agree on but sadly thanks to science it's just never going to happen. That's right, the world's leading nerds and geeks are the ones responsible for crushing the dreams of every other nerd and geek out there (ourselves at WhatCulture included) and man does that suck. So in case you were planning on becoming the next Avenger or Batman over the summer here's a list of 5 of the best super powers that old man science went and ruined for you. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
