What are these abilities and how do they manifest? Let's examine them because it is quite possible that you have them.
We enthusiastically watch movies and read books about superheroes - fictional characters with unique abilities. Some of them have incredible strength, others can fly, others - to become invisible, and the fourth - to take on the appearance of any animal.
Of course, fantastic superheroes, like the characters in the film "People X", are just fiction, which has nothing to do with real life, but there are also people with unique abilities among people. What are these abilities and how do they manifest? Let's examine them because, quite possibly, you have them, suggests Clube.
1. Super flavor
According to experts, this super-ability owns more than a quarter of the world's population. People with this feature get at times more vivid sensations from eating. Sweet is sweeter several times, and sour is sour. According to information, most often this ability is found in women, especially those who live in South Asia, Africa and South America.
Perhaps among us there are people who have super-flavor, who do not even know about it. In practice, it is noted that individuals with this feature do not like certain products, in particular, they do not tolerate coffee, grapefruit, as well as ordinary and Brussels sprouts.
2. Golden blood
This anomaly is in a unique blood group that has a zero Rh factor, that is, does not contain antigens. Over the last hundred years, no more than 40 people with similar blood were born on Earth. "Golden" it is called just because of the lack of antigens, because thanks to this feature it fits any person. But they rarely use it for transfusion, they try to take care of it, because a person with such rare blood can be saved only by a “fellow” by blood.
3. Super vision
Some people are born with an anomaly called tetrachromatism. Under this complex name is super vision, because a person with such a feature sees up to 100 a million different colors, unlike an average person who is able to see only 1 million colors.
If in our eye there are three types of cones responsible for green, red and blue colors, then in the eye of tetrachromat there are four types of cones at once, which allows them to have fantastic vision.
The tetrahromat is the artist Concetta Antico. Thanks to the "rainbow vision" she manages to paint pictures of incredible colors. The same buttercup to an ordinary person seems to be just a yellow flower. However, Concetta sees several shades of this flower and tries to convey this information to the viewer.
4. Hyperelastic skin
Some people are born with an unusual anomaly, which doctors called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The fact is that they have incredibly elastic skin, pulling which you can stretch it by 10 centimeters or more. And if you let go of the skin, it will immediately return to its original state.
True, with all the unusualness, this anomaly is more a disease than a superpower. In addition to skin that is too elastic, people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome have anomalous mobility of the joints, and dense knots appear under the skin along the bone formations. In addition, such people are difficult to tolerate rupture of blood vessels and are at increased risk of stroke.
5. Echolocation
The ability to hear what others do not hear is another superpower that is found in 0,1% of people. It is no secret that echolocation is developed in bats and dolphins, but in humans it is detected extremely rarely. What is characteristic, sometimes this feature is found in absolutely blind people. And this gives hope that echolocation can be developed.
By the way, echolocation is the ability to determine the distance to objects by echoing sounds reflected from them. And the best sounds for echolocation are clicks produced by the language pressed to the sky. Interestingly, this sound is reminiscent of the clicks that dolphins make.
6. Longevity
The average life expectancy of people on Earth - 48,5 years! At the same time, individuals who have been living for 100 and older for years are born. The officially recorded record for life expectancy is Zhanna Kalman from France, who died at the age of 122.
True, according to unofficial data, Chinese-born Li Qingyun lived 256 for years! The Chinese herbalist had 124 wives and 180 children. It is not officially established how long the man lived, but in 1877, a letter was found in China, in which Li Qingyun was congratulated on the 200 anniversary.
7. Insensitivity to pain
This is one of the rarest phenomena among all living organisms, not to mention people. In medical practice, isolated cases of birth into the world of people who do not feel pain are recorded. On the one hand, this is an incredible benefit, since a person does not experience any unpleasant sensations. But it's not that simple.
The fact is that pain is a defense mechanism of our body, and its absence is a serious risk for a person. So the baby, who did not feel pain, already chewed on himself half his tongue while teething. In addition, people who do not feel pain do not pay attention to injuries, including skin damage and fractures, which can result in inflammatory processes, blood poisoning and death. In general, insensitivity to pain can be called superpowers, but only if you know how to apply it correctly and carefully monitor your body.
8. Indestructible bones
In the films we see superheroes who remain safe and sound even if a house collapses on them. In life, such cases will not be seen, although some people are really born with abnormally strong bones. The fact came to light after one American family, having got into a terrible car accident, left the car without a single turning point. Interested in this case, the scientists found a special anomaly in the people who survived the accident, which, in contrast to the development of osteoporosis, on the contrary, strengthens bones in the strongest way.
According to scientists, probably as a result of a gene mutation, osteocytes in the body receive a signal of insufficient bone tissue and begin to actively develop cells to strengthen the bones. By the way, the ongoing studies may help to find a cure for osteoporosis.
9. Superpower
And this is the most common unique ability of superheroes. Everyone would like to have a unique physical strength and lift objects, ten times more than their own weight. It seems that this is only fiction, but in fact, people of incredible power sometimes come into the world. As a result of a gene abnormality in their body, a protein is encoded to suppress the growth of muscle mass. As a result, such people already in childhood are distinguished by unprecedented strength and unique abilities to lift weights. And with age, they can develop their superpowers to incredible limits.
By the way, in Belgium, as a result of the gene abnormality, 200 years ago appeared cows with incredible muscle mass - Belgian blue cows. They grow to 1,5 tons, and by 85% consist of lean muscle mass.
10. Absolute immunity
And this is a real superpowers, which, alas, have only a few inhabitants of our planet. Absolute immunity protects a person from all diseases, including deadly ones, as cancer and tuberculosis, and therefore the owners of this gift have every chance to live a long, happy life and even become long-lived.
