What are the most popular superpowers?
When talking about the most popular superpowers a hero can have, Superman directly comes to mind. Whereas most superheroes only have one power, he has had a wide array of them in various issues that have all gone on to pop up individually in different settings. A selection:
Almost all powers in this list manifest themselves frequently in other heroes. Think of Wolverine’s healing abilities, Bruce Wayne’s intelligence (although technically not considered a superpower) or the amazing speed of the Flash. Going beyond that list, other powers are by now at least as iconic as these classical ones. How about Storm’s ability to control the weather, Mystique’s shapeshifting or Jean Grey’s and Professor X’s psychic abilities?
The appeal of superpowers
We’ve all known the feeling of waking up in the morning, having dreamt of being able to fly. Or that embarrassing situation in high school where you wish you could have been invisible. Being able to time travel is surely also something you’ve wished for at some point in your life, or having the option to teleport anywhere in the world.
Unfortunately this has to remain a fantasy, but given a vivid imagination, you can get quite close to experiencing what it would be like.
