Superhuman refers to humans or human-like lifeforms with abilities, intelligence, or physical or mental characteristics far exceeding those found in humans. These superhuman traits may be natural or acquired, such as through science or magic. Superhumans are a common trope in comic books, science fiction, fantasy, and mythology.

Characteristics

Superhuman abilities can manifest in many ways. They may include physical strength, speed, endurance, intelligence, longevity, invulnerability, telepathy, telekinesis, and flight. These abilities may be inherent, acquired through exposure to a mutagen, or granted by a higher power.

In Popular Culture

Superhumans are a staple of comic books, science fiction, fantasy, and mythology. They are often portrayed as heroes or villains, with their abilities serving as both a blessing and a curse. Some notable examples of superhuman characters include Superman, Wonder Woman, and Spider-Man.

Scientific Possibility

While the concept of superhumans is largely fictional, some scientists believe that it may be possible to enhance human abilities through genetic engineering, cybernetics, nanotechnology, and other forms of biotechnology. However, these technologies also raise ethical and moral questions about the nature of humanity and the potential for misuse.
