Can a normal person get superpowers?
Humans may not have the ability to sense danger with Spiderman-style “spider-senses,” or sprout adamantium claws like Wolverine, but there are humans walking among us that have their own superpowers. These superhumans have powers the typical person would think impossible, and they are the result of genetic mutations. Spider-Man might be a fictional superhero, but at least two of his tricks exist in the real world. Now, scientists have shown that it’s possible spin silk strong enough to stop a train, and are crafting a new, super-sensory suit that warns its wearer when someone — or something — is approaching.
