5 Amazing Super Powers You Wish You Had But Can't Thanks To Science

5. Super Senses

Are your Spidey senses tingling? You should probably get that checked out by a doctor! If you've ever wondered how heroes like Superman manage to be in the right place at the right time every time it's because they have super honed senses that allow them to hear whenever anything bad is happening. Unfortunately for evil doers they can't even whisper there maniacal plots to destroy the world because guys like Superman are super eavesdroppers and here even the quietest of voices. Super senses are a pretty awesome power and one you would definitely want, right? Think again. You see what the comics don't tell us is if you were 'blessed' with this particular power you'd NEVER EVER be able to turn it off. That would mean a life spent with your head filled with voices - no down time, no quiet five minutes, no intimate moments with the woman in your life because all the while you'd hear every word leaving every mouth on the whole entire planet. Imagine how often a baby cries in a day or a dog barks or a market trader shouts about bananas. It would be enough to drive a man insane. But that's not all. Because you're hearing is so strong you'd also be able to hear every other type of noise from car engines to doors creaking to the bowel movements of a man at the opposite end of the globe. So if hearing is off the cards what about other senses? Imagine being able to smell everything and at a heightened level? Or seeing every speck of dust, ever particle of light and every other type of microwave, x-ray or gamma ray that our regular human eyes don't currently pick up on. Nope there's just no way of getting around this one. Super senses would most likely lead to super suicide and very quickly.
