just take a look at any comic book or superhero movie and you'll get a good idea of just how much we dream of having superpowers the ability to do with the usual person can't having super speed super strength being superhuman it fascinates us but what if I told you that all of this isn't just confined to comics that you can get a superpower right now of course people still can't change their size walk through walls or teleport since it contradicts the laws of physics but there are some other superpowers that are available nowadays for the right price but before you find out if you'll be able to fly or become invisible soon don't forget to subscribe to our channel we have tons of intriguing and useful videos coming out daily on the bright side of life so be sure to ring that bell to be notified each time we post counting down from number 11 fear rejection well the superpower probably wouldn't belong to a superhero but rather a supervillain like mr. fear but believe it or not a fear projecting device is very real and it's not even that hard to make what I'm talking about is a machine that produces infrasound now infrasound is basically acoustic waves of extremely low frequencies these waves are below the human hearing threshold so we really can't hear them yet they still have serious psychological effects on people being around infrasound can make you feel discomfort fear and nausea kind of like when you pull up at the stop sign next to the car with the three subwoofers blasting away and you can feel it in your chest even with the windows up now multiply that and the fact that you won't be able to explain the origins of these sensations will make the experience even more terrifying now that's a pretty sinister superpower number 10 iron suit everybody knows that iron man's strength comes in the form of his iron suit and it's a pretty cool superpower they have getting rid of anything in your way or shooting off into the sky all thanks to this miraculous armor well you might be glad to know that technicians at Japan's Tsukuba University have already created a special exoskeleton suit called the Hal 5 it's nine feet tall and weighs almost ninety pounds you can get inside it walk around while wearing it move its arms and even wiggle it's fingers it doesn't fly of course it police not yet so if you have 93 thousand dollars to spare you just like Tony Stark can get yourself a loyal metal companion number nine Spider Man wall climbing now if you dreamed of having spider-man's wall-crawling abilities when you were a kid or if you still do I've got some good news for you doctor lemming day from the University of Dayton and doctored song Lynn Wang from the Georgia Institute of Technology invented a super sticky material it has a nanotubes spatula design that's based on microscopic hairs now this means you can cling to any surface of your choice to unstick yourself all you have to do is just give it a little tug and you're free to keep crawling up that skyscraper okay maybe you shouldn't give that a try but it's still cool number eight immunity to pain the inability to feel pain help some comic book characters push themselves to the extreme however immunity to pain isn't just fiction there's an absolutely real and very rare disease called congenital insensitivity to pain a person with this condition never experiences physical pain they never have and never will but if you're thinking yeah sign me up then you should know that it's not as amazing as it sounds the fact is that this is an extremely dangerous illness we need to feel pain because it lets us know that something's not right with our body people suffering from insensitivity to pain may have dramatic complications because they haven't even noticed an injury or disease so perhaps it's not the coolest superpower to have don't you think number seven night vision anybody familiar with the DC Universe knows that dr. midnight can see perfectly well in complete darkness unfortunately this comes at a price he's almost completely blind in sunlight lucky for you that's not a necessary stipulation any more modern technology allows you to use advanced night-vision devices these to be super expensive and only available for the military and special agencies but nowadays these gadgets have come to the consumer market and anybody can get them to see in the dark number six ability to heal yourself [Music] superheroes like Wolverine and firestorm have one of the most desirable powers they can regenerate and heal themselves it was probably this exact superpower that inspired a new project the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency also known as DARPA is developing an implant that hooks directly to a person's nervous system it'll treat depression without the help of medication look after internal organs and treat them when necessary this implant is probably going to be prescribed to those with physical injury to the brain or for mental health issues like post-traumatic stress disorder number five super speed the Flash's super power may be much more available than you think governments around the world are working on special devices that can allow their soldiers to run faster without getting tired some of these projects already exist for example there's an exoskeleton that helps people run long distances faster than even the best critter but there's one thing that could change running forever scientists from Arizona State University are developing a special lightweight jetpack that instead of taking you up into the sky sort of propels you forward as you're running giving you a speed boost according to initial tests the added speed that this jetpack will give soldiers can be crucial in the battlefield the research is ongoing to improve the results even more number four invisibility and now here's the superpower we've all dreamed of having especially during our most embarrassing moments and it could very well become a reality there have been pretty advanced attempts to create Harry Potter invisibility clothes the thing is that our eyes only see the light that objects reflect with the use of a particular material Canadian scientists decided to alter light waves to pass through an object this is already given a pretty impressive result but only if an object is illuminated with one color so this technology is still being worked on but scientists have figured out several other ways to make objects invisible one of the most recent ideas has been developed at the University of Rochester a combination of four lenses organized in a particular way effectively hides objects from the viewer now researchers are trying to figure out how to maintain invisibility on the move number three ability to fly yeah while we're on the topic of the most popular superpowers let's talk about fly unfortunately this one seems like the most impossible to achieve unless you count planes and helicopters of course but one Australian company has already created the Martin jetpack this device can develop a speed of 45 miles per hour and travel at an altitude of 3,300 feet the Martin jetpack has advanced safety features like a parachute that can open extremely close to the ground so you don't splat well your dream and my dream may not be as impossible as we think number two being bulletproof life can sometimes take a dangerous turn and being bulletproof can really come in handy but unlike Superman we normies aren't invincible to bullets at least not our skin but as you may know we can use bulletproof vests but are you gonna wear one all the time hmm probably not however one company in Columbia makes bulletproof clothing this enterprise is already 25 years old and is now conquering the American market their bulletproof garments include sports wear tank tops shirts and even kimonos these things are pretty lightweight and rather stylish they can be worn everyday as long as you're willing to pay at least 500 bucks for one item the simplest solution is of course like this stay away from the bullets number one super strength [Music] lots of superheroes saves and using their superhuman strength but can you believe there are devices that allow you to have the same superpower nowadays you still will be able to punch through walls or get cars up over your head but they will make you a lot stronger than you already are exoskeletons come in a wide variety these days one of them can help workers by holding up to 36 pounds of tools at the same time they're light enough that the wearer can climb a ladder in this suit and if the full gear isn't to your liking try Bionic glimpse the titan pod before instance straps directly to your arm and helps you lift things you don't normally have enough strength to handle just don't be surprised of all your friends and relatives start asking you to help them move well what's your favourite superpower is it on our list tell us in the comments below if you found
