      Right now there are a lot of people working on mechanised suits which amplify their pilots’ strength, allowing them to lift really heavy things. It would be really cool to improve these suits to make them a bit less clunky. Then we could all be Iron Man!

      tricky question, while there are a range of superpowers I would like to create (instant healing would be a good one!) I’m no biologist or mad genius, and would have no idea how to go about creating it at all!

    as a whole we are the human race we are who we choose to be we don’t need powers to prove that.

      I agree, but some people might not understand that and want powers anyway. If we did all have powers, then criminals would be far more dangerous. And if powers became the norm then they wouldn’t be special anymore. For example, if we had christmas everyday it would become boring, you would run out of space to put presents and you would run out of things to give people.
