10 Superpowers You Can Get Right Now

[Music] all right admit it the kid in you still imagines being able to soar through the skins like superman or wear a high-tech suit of armor like iron man actually i'm a 25 year old adult and i still think of that stuff while unassisted or unpowered flight may not be a reality yet the latter is more possible than you think stay tuned to find out more on that as we give you 10 super powers you can have right now number 10 breathing underwater growing up me nor my friends ever wanted to be aquaman while playing superhero to tell you the truth i've always found him and his powers kind of lame in comparison to the other members of the justice league or rather the super friends the very first superhero cartoon series that i actually watched now if we're talking justice league aquaman ooh i want to be him and then after the show jason mamela happened and he was even cooler in retrospect it would be cool to be able to breathe underwater without the aid of extremely cumbersome scuba gear but what you don't realize is that we may just be a few short years away from being able to do so using specially synthesized crystalline materials scientists from the university of southern denmark have created a substance that is able to absorb and store oxygen in such high concentrations that just one bucket full is enough to remove all the oxygen in a room the substance is also able to release the stored oxygen in a controlled manner when it is needed so just a few grains could replace the need for divers to carry bulky scuba tanks even more interestingly the material may also be configured in a device that could absorb oxygen directly from water and allow a diver to stay submerged for long periods of time without the need for bulky air tanks number nine echolocation this has to be one of the coolest superpowers stan lee's ever created and because of that daredevil remains one of my most favorite superheroes actually i lie on that he didn't create it you see echolocation is actually a superpower that exists in real life many have heard about how some blind people can use echolocation to navigate their surroundings but a 2013 study from ludwig maximilian university immunity biologist shows that even people that can see can gain this amazing ability as well it turns out that the ability to echolocate is a talent that lies dormant within everyone this is because our brains have learned to shut out echoes that we can focus more effectively on the primary source of a sound rather than having the constant distraction of echoes of everything around us the trick to learning echolocation is to learn to tune into the echoes that already exist in the world number eight night vision this should be the easiest superpower to get right now just snap on a pair of night vision goggles and you're good to go that is if you get a hold of one if you can't just try the mythbusters method in an episode called the pirate special adam and jaime set out to prove that keeping one eye open constantly in the dark like always wearing an eye patch like pirates will improve that eyes night vision and they did but if you don't fancy wearing an eye patch the entire day there is another way california groups science for the masses injected the eyes of volunteer gabriel lassenia with chlorine e6 chlorine e6 is a chemical found in deep sea fish during drowsy was able to see accurately for 50 meters in total darkness if that seems too scary a variety of bionic contact lenses will deliver zoom function enhance your vision and connect your eyes to the internet without needles but they expensive number seven healing factor wouldn't it be extremely cool to be like deadpool or wolverine i'm talking about their healing powers of course not everything they go through this next superpower may not be exactly like the extreme healing capabilities that these two heroes possess but it is definitely a close one you see there is a method of increasing one's immunity to disease the wim hof method which was developed by well wim hof is a training regiment that allows a person to gain a heightened connection to and control his body to prove its effectiveness hoff regularly subjects himself to extreme feats of endurance like immersing himself in freezing water for a record 72 minutes climbing mount everett's wearing nothing but shorts and running a marathon in the desert without water it seems another benefit of the wim hof method is the increased immunity to certain diseases and this was emphatically proven under lab conditions the scientists were astonished by what they witnessed but doubted that anyone else could replicate haf's feet to test this 12 students of house were brought in and all 12 of them had identical results to half number 6 wall crawling one of the most relatable superheroes of all time is spider-man he was just a simple real-world kid with real-world problems also how he gained his superpowers seem pretty grounded in reality too unfortunately getting spider-man's wall crawling ability by getting bit by a radioactive spider is not as easy as it seems fortunately scientists from cornell university are developing a technology that just might make it a reality they are developing some kind of rapid adhesion technology that uses water surface tension to achieve strong bonds between two surfaces the technology was inspired not by a spider but by a beetle native to florida which uses surface tension to adhere to leaves generating a force 100 times greater than its body weight the device is mainly just a flat plate with a lot of tiny holes with water in them when an electrical current is introduced water slightly seeps out of these tiny holes just enough for the water to create surface tension they've already succeeded in creating a one square inch plate that can lift up to 15 pounds the device is still under development and they have yet to make something that can be practically used but they aren't confident that they are just a few years away from making someone crawl up buildings like your friendly neighborhood spiderman number five bullet resistance aside from flight what do you think is the most well-known superpower that most superheroes and super villains for that matter have easy being impervious to bullets [Music] you have full immunity shoot him in the face shoot me the fat in the face the fact is you don't have to be a kryptonian powered by our solar system's yellow sun to be bulletproof bullet resistant clothing has been around for years and has been in use in military and even civilian applications the only problem is all of these body armor look tactical and cumbersome you can't be lean and flexible and look sleek and sexy at the same time generally speaking of course i know some of the people find the tactical wear to look pretty alluring however new advances in bullet resistant material technology has made it possible for you to remain stylish while negating the risk of getting a bullet hole straight to the chest actually complete three-piece suits are now available for purchase all of which are made with a revolutionary bulletproof material that is neither stiff nor bulky the thing is you probably have to be as rich as bruce wayne to afford one as a complete set of these super powered suits is gonna set you back a cool 20k number four invisibility ask a number of adolescent boys out there what kind of superpower they'd want if they had a chance to get one i bet you a million bucks that invisibility would be one of the top answers for very obvious reasons funnily enough invisibility is not one of the most common superpowers in movies and in comics well we have the invisible man sue storm and harry potter with his invisibility cloak being the more well-known dealers of the superpower but that doesn't mean you wouldn't mind having this power yourself now would you well thanks to good old japanese innovation this extraordinary power could be available in the near future japanese scientists have developed their version of harry potter's invisibility cloak it's even made of some light silvery material and can make its wear instantly disappear but there's similarities stopped there the japanese ability glow doesn't rely on ancient magic to work but it actually works by using retro-reflective projection technology this is a process that creates an augmented reality and then projects it into the real world sounds a little convoluted right well to put it simply the material that the cloak is made out of acts like a flexible screen which projects whatever the camera attached to the back of the cloak sees giving the illusion that when looking at the wearer directly from the front of seeing right through him when and if this technology will be public isn't known but it would definitely be really cool to have it number three super speed yes there are a lot of extremely fast people in the world but it's really hard to distinguish if someone is just faster than normal and someone who has super speed it's even harder to believe that someone on earth actually moves at superhuman speeds but the fact is there is one and you probably know them i'm talking about bruce lee yes the man is awesome and credited for having superhuman speed and reflexes there are a few things proving this one it's been said that in order for the camera to actually film his movements lee had to actually slow his movements down but even that wasn't enough in order for moviegoers to see his movements properly the film actually had to be slowed down a bit more that isn't super speed i don't know what is the human body is capable of doing amazing things and even you with a bit of training and discipline could be as fast as bruce lee fast movement however is not the only element of lightning speed in order to be capable of utilizing this speed effectively one must also have super reaction time without this all the speed in the world is meaningless fortunately this can also be brought out by intense training now it's time for today's best pick [Music] today's pick is a superpower that i'm sure all of us dreamed of having back when we were kids the power of flight although one powered flight belongs exclusively to the realm of fantasy something actually exists that could give us the next best thing to soar into the air like superman that being number two the martian jetpack for decades science fiction has teased us with notions of strapping on a jetpack and soaring through the clouds numerous inventors have tried over the years with middling success to create jetpacks for all of us but pretty much every model created has suffered from one particular flaw they can only fly for about 30 seconds martin jetpack a new zealand based manufacturer is changing all that with the development of a jetpack system that promises flight of 30 minutes or more and it will have the ability to fly not just people but also equipment into hard to reach areas the company's current model which is still in development is being marketed to first responders like firefighters and search and rescue workers they are going to be pretty expensive though with a price tag of about 250k so if you have that kind of money burning a hole in your pocket you can get one as soon as they become available before we move on do me a favor my analytics show that only about 15 of you watching are actually subscribed come on guys what's up with that can you guys please hit the subscribe button you guys watch my videos every day anyway so you might as well subscribe and keep up to date with every video we put out number one iron man's armor wait a second is this for real actually yes it is if the u.s special operations command or usocom has its way we are less than a year from seeing someone walk around in a fully functional ironman-esque suit of armor based in florida this branch of the u.s military is actively developing an exoskeleton built to enhance the strength and resiliency of the wearer way beyond human limitations officially called the tactical light assault operator suit it is a heavily armored exoskeleton equipped with an amazing array of technologies making it quite similar to the iron man armor although this suit is still being developed the people involved in the project estimate to have a fully working prototype within the next few months after that it's only a matter of time before we see people decked out from head to toe in this armor as of right now flight is still not an option though but let's give it a few years and see where it goes which superpower did you want to have when you were a kid let us know in the comment section down below want to watch more videos about amazing things check out any of the videos you see on your screen as always thank you all for watching and i'll see you all next time later everybody
