This might also include characters who are cyborgs, humans who have had considerable amounts of technology placed inside of their bodies or even robots, who are often sentient pieces of technology. The superhero Spider-Man gained his powers through accident, the result of a scientific experiment.
A common form of power gain is through the body of the characters being altered scientifically, often on a genetic level. Some heroes are mutated by outside sources as opposed to a natural mutation , such as Spider-Man, the Flash and the Fantastic Four being created by scientific accidents.
In the early sixities, particularly in the Silver Age Marvel Comics, many accidental mutations or powers were linked to radiation such as the aforementioned Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk. Aliens from another planet whose powers are either normal on their planet or whose powers appeared due to the difference in the planets. Those that are born with their powers are much like mutants; they cannot lose them naturally, while the latter group may lose their powers when away from the planet that gives them power.
Notable E. Some heroes and villains may be nothing more then average people who have undergone rigorous training to get at top human condition. They are but human, however, and therefore cannot achieve super speed, strength, or other powers. What they get usually. Some heroes and villains may never learn were their power came from and in some cases have elements that may or may not be powers. In some cases, it is discovered to be one of the above later on, and in some cases it is simply the case.
These are heroes who got their powers in a way not described above. What if you're not a genius like Tony? Meanwhile, Aric of Dacia is no computer genius but still was able to acquire the X-O Manowar suit, providing him with super-strength, speed, omnilinguism, and more. Angelo Mortalli didn't have the same computer intelligence as Tony Stark, but rather was injected with nanites and became the hero known as Bloodshot, granting him a healing factor, superhuman endurance, and cyberkinesis.
Drugs are bad, kids, but Steve Rogers may disagree with you. Captain America is considered to have peak athletic abilities when it comes to stamina, speed, and strength.
To increase his strength, Batman himself once used venom, a strength-enhancing steroid. It made him significantly stronger, but he eventually realized he was addicted to it and had Alfred lock him in the Batcave until he could kick the habit.
So to recap, avoid using drugs and radiation to give you superpowers. Yes, they are easy ways to grant you superhuman abilities, but read the warning label: usage may result in death or the wish that you were dead. Finding a supernatural creature isn't that hard to do. A trip to your local graveyard or dark, winding backwoods road may put you in touch with a vampire or a werewolf.
Being a werewolf gives you enhanced senses and super strength, but wouldn't be fun if you weren't in a pack of other weres. Being a vampire would be great as long as you weren't a morning person; vulnerability to sunlight would literally turn you to toast. Although, there are some vampires who are daywalkers and don't suffer from this vulnerability.
For example, in the early s, Tara Brooks was giving birth to a baby when she was bitten by a vampire. Her son, Eric, although not bitten, had Tara's vampiric blood in his system, giving him vampiric strengths but none of their weaknesses. Eventually, Eric became the daywalker known as Blade. Sometimes we need a little push to get to our potential. That can be in the form of a mentor or coach cheering you on.
Freeman injected Wilson with a mutation-activating serum and then tortured him daily in order to try and get his dormant superpowers to activate. You say you don't like torture? Another way to activate any dormant genes is to expose yourself to Terrigen Mists. Let's say you were, unbeknownst to you, a descendent of the alien race known as the Inhumans. Exposure to the Mists would activate your dormant Inhuman genes and trigger your wondrous superhuman powers.
But beware: the Terrigen Mists are deadly to mutants! In Back to the Future Part II , Biff Tannen was able to give his younger self a sports almanac from the future that allowed him to place bets on sports events that had yet to occur. Thanks to information from the future, he was able to make himself a rich man.
Sending yourself information from the future doesn't have to be about winning the lottery, it can also be about avoiding injuries, saving loved ones from disasters, or knowing how your favorite TV show is going to end spoiler alert: everyone dies.
So how do you send messages back in time? If you're unable to get hold of a time-traveling DeLorean, keep your eye out for massive weather events or even sunspots that might help you send a message back to your younger self. No offense, Hawkeye, but when people are taking photos of you, they're actually trying to photograph the people standing next to you, namely Thor, Hulk, Captain America Some of the scientific advancements were made through trials on volunteers.
Or accidentally where they worked. Others were made through genetic engineering. Or by adding mechanical features that heightened the super abilities. For instance, the Iron Man suit that Tony Stark dresses in is well-armored with technological upgrades that allow him to fly into space. All of these displayed super strength and agility. The mutation ability is normally in their DNA, though resting until it is triggered by something at a particular age.
There are also metahumans who have special powers since birth. Most mutants in comics such as X-Men realized their powers after getting to a particular age. For instance, during their adolescent stage. There are also mutants whose skin changed color, among other body transformational changes. The Deadpool movie showed Wade Wilson injected with a mutation-activating serum.
This awakened the superpowers within him. Most superheroes are humans, although some are gods, aliens and mutants. Marvel has mutants and gods like Thor among other superheroes. As mentioned, superhuman powers are either by invention, encounter, or by accident. You might be just an ordinary person now, but there are some ways to feel like a superhero.
She is able to cause light to bend around her, making her invisible. Iron Man wears a metal suit that includes a propulsion system.
So he can fly, but this makes the suit very, very hot. This electricity would then power his on-board computer control systems. He is taking waste energy and making electricity. If I convince one [person] to do science, I have already won. Still, they provide a good introduction to genetics and how genes work. They would have nonstandard amino acids that might give superpowers.
Although this is obviously outlandish from the perspective of pure science, there are interesting crossovers. For example, researchers at the University of Wyoming have developed a way to incorporate spider silk-spinning genes into goats. It is denied as a serious problem but could cause reputational damage. The starting point for reverse maths is a base theory that is strong enough to state the theorems of interest, but not strong enough to prove them.
Further global warming will cause more trouble, but there is much we can still do. Italian example shows how investment in rail can drastically cut traffic on air routes. Science fiction writers give us a glimpse into the possible worlds that await us.
