Flight


Human flight is always thought as impossible and supernatural well from my research it could be and is possible. No, I don't mean Superman radicalise self propelled flight but more like a Flying Squirrels 'wings'. A Flying Squirrel has loose skin between its arm and legs this catches wind under the flap causing lift. Lift is when there is an uplifting force like smoke caused by fire or rising air.



Examples of fictional characters that can fly:
  • Superman (Superman)
  • Thor (Thor)
  • Hal Jordan (Green Lantern)

Telepathy

Telepathy derives from the Greek word Tele meaning distance and pathy originally pathe means affliction or experience. The idea was originally thought of in 1882 by Fredirc W. H. Myers who was a founder of Society of Psychical Research. Telepathy is the ability to read minds, implant images in minds, manipulate people by subliminal messages or even control a person.

This is apparently possible by secluding your self for many years away from any form civilisation including electrical devices or even people. After this as your mind is no longer familiar with foreign brain waves and you can pick them up using your brain. I couldn't find any reference to you being able to send your brain waves to them.


Fictional characters with telepathy :
  • Jedi (Star Wars)
  • Professor X (X-Men)

Super Strength

So this power goes without explanation its having super strength. This can be in many forms augmentation by having power suits/armour or bio-engineering, supernatural gifts or simple willpower. There are several examples in reality where people have had super strength all over the world there are people compete to see who is strongest with challenges like throwing heavy objects or even pulling 6-wheelers, that's right people pull 80 to 100 kilos with brakes ON! There is also video of a man, not the fittest man I might add, pulled a chopper out of a large puddle or small lake.



Here is a list of fictional characters with super strength:

  • John-117 (Halo)
  • Maine (Red vs Blue)
  • Superman (Superman)
  • Hancock (Hancock)













Flame Manipulation

The ability to control, manipulate and even in some cases create flames. Flame manipulation, also known as pyrokinesis or fire bending, is actually speeding up atoms to cause friction making fire they are then able to manipulate the this flame to make different shapes or changes its path. The powers of flame manipulation is believed to be amplified when in contact with a Garnet gem. It can aslo be a by-product of Electrokinesis.






There are known examples of people with the ability to manipulate fire. There was a African-American, A.W.Underwood, in the 19th Century who was well renown for spontaneously lighting objects on fire. Also in March 2011 in the Antique Province, Philippines there was evidence that a 3-year old girl who had the ability to say an item then fire and it would catch fire soon after. The Mayor of this province said he first had saw the girl say "pillow... fire" and a pillow in the room caught on fire.

Here is a list of fictional characters with the ability to manipulate and create fire:

  • Dovahkiin/Dragonborn (Skyrim)
  • Hero (Fable)

Welcome

Well I always liked superpowers and nonhuman like abilities, so when my teacher asked my class to start a blog I thought why not make a superpower themed blog. So for the next few weeks, or more if I get enough people reading this, I will research different superpowers and abilities and post my findings. I will be posting about powers like invisibility, flame manipulation, telekinesis, telepathy and more. I'll also take any suggestions and consider them as well.
