      Hi calummacdonald10! Interesting question!

      As much as I would like to regenerate like Wolverine or shoot lasers from my eyes … I am afraid that humans are not capable of acquiring super powers. All we can do is train very hard to develop our skills and senses, but we will never be close to having a super power.

      Hi calummacdonald10,
      Our DNA changes throughout our lifetime and we can see that we have changed from our ancestors (in general most of us are taller). Also I think that a super power would be extremely advantageous for survival! So therefore I think that with evolution in mind, yes eventually humans could have super powers. I don’t think they’ll be super powers like Spiderman’s abilities though! More likely the ability to read really fast or have an extremely good memory.
      What super power would you want?
