10 Badass Superpowers Everybody Has

4. Glow

It isn't just pregnant women who have that special glow: apparently, we all do. Humans are bioluminescent, which means we all glow in the dark like star stickers on a kid's bedroom ceiling.

Unless you have rabbit-like vision, you're unlikely to have noticed it; the light we emit is 1000 weaker than that which human eyes can detect. And it's not just us; seemingly all animals do it, thought to be a byproduct of biochemical reactions involving free radicals.

Japanese researchers discovered that volunteers' bodies tended to glow most strongly at 4pm, and most faintly at 10am, suggesting our circadian rhythm - the body-clock - is a factor in how brightly we shine.

It may not be as extravagant as certain light-up creatures at the bottom of the ocean, and won't draw any eyes during a black light disco, but isn't it heartening to know we all shine?
