5 Super Powers That Just Wouldn't Work In Real Life

[@PerovNigma]

I don't know if "empath" is the best word. From my understanding, an empath is someone who can psychically read and influence emotions - like a telepath, except for feelings rather than thoughts/memories/knowledge.

[@REDtiph]

Joseph Simpson you are correct what needlemouse described is ability of power mimicry

[@lordfinn2632]

I know I thought the same thing

[@NeedleMouseProductions]

Yeah I probably should have gone with 'power absorption' or 'power duplication' I said 'empath' as I was mainly think of Peter Petrelli's character when I wrote the video and they call him an empath a couple of times on the show, though technically I think he's supposed to have empathic mimicry but since they just said empath on the show I went with that. But your right it wasn't the best choice of title for the power really, especially since I mention Rogue as well

Your shape shifting one is kinda flawed. Every superpower is impossible in the way you explained it. Take beastboy for example, you said that if someone grew this fast they would die, but his genetic s allow for this to be possible somehow. Its fiction.I just look at powers like their bodies allow themselves to somehow not die from using their powers. Take superman, most people would say in real life having superstrength like that would be hard as you would destroy everything by slightly touching it. However I think in the FICTIONAL world I think superman's body allows him to adjust his strength depending on the situation. They're bodies are designed for their powers, somehow.

I agree cause there are multiple shape shifters in the fictional world and some are portrayed as humans. So I would of course assume that having the ability to shape shift would also include a way for the rest of your body to adapt. Like for example people with superspeed don't just have "superspeed" along with the power their body gains the ability to withstand that type of speed and pressure. Cause "normally" we wouldn't be able to move that fast.

With shape-shifting, your body probably gains the ability to have very flexible muscle/durable skeleton that’s specially changed for the ability. Also, the mass of the body would probably have some sort of ability that just moves it out of existence without any need to explain that. I think people forget that if super powers were real, they’d be exactly that, powers that are super, they defy the laws of physics.

[@Randomperson11121]

Not all superpowers defy the laws of physics, that’s not what that word means

[@jamaisj]

1) Black Bolt's scream is actually enhanced by exotic particles; it's not a "sonic scream" by any stretch and keep in mind it's useful in space for exactly that reason. 2) You actually can focus sound into a reasonably straight path; it's how directional sound works. Thus, the sonic scream is actually doable, and there are even animals that use a high-pitched targeted scream to knock out their prey (most notably bats). 3) "Talking to animals" in the comics isn't actual communication; it's merely control. This is a common misunderstanding when it comes to Aquaman. Also, because animals do tend towards pack behavior it's actually relatively easy to get an entire group of animals to do the same thing. You can also use that "in the now" thing to get animals going and then back off; telling them that they are going after a food source, for example, could keep them going even without direction. 4) Excellent points on shrinking!

The canary cry issue was acknowledged on arrow season 3 at least with Diggle wearing ear plugs! But Dinah/Laurel was immune however after this point they immediately forget it!

[@DrEw-dl7vy]

Shapeshifting - their bones and skin and muscles grow as well, so no bones would break. According to comics using their power doesn't tire shapeshifters. That's just a feature of their ability. Shrinking - all the atoms in a shrunken person or object shrink as well. Their density is smaller because their mass and volume both shrink with their body. Their weight is therefore decreased. Yes it defies physics but it's also fictional and supernatural. Sonic scream - it's more of a loud beam of force caused by screaming, much less a destructive form of audio. 'Sonic scream' is just a cool name and not as literal as it sounds (which one of the reasons why Canary's scream is specifically called her Canary Cry and not Sonic Scream) Empath - that's not what an empath is, an empath is something completely different. What you're talking about is more the power of ability absorption. But still it depends on the ability; you might be able to absorb someone's intelligence or strength or agility. If it's strictly supernatural powers that you can absorb then yes it's useless in the real world Talking to animals - talking **to** animals, not at animals. The name of the ability implies that you can speak to them and they understand you, not the other way around. Therefore you could have them execute tasks for you. This would be super useful in the case of like K-9 units or something similar. But when it comes to *dolphins* though, that's a whole other story.

Peter Petrelli's power was Empathic Mimicry not solely Empath. Empathy is to feel others emotions just like telepathy is to know people's thoughts.

[@LeoChaseTheMythMaster]

Yes.

[@Senordisastermaster]

Mystique’s shapeshifting can make sense if we think of it as a purely cosmetic power. Her blue skin is able to morph itself into any shape and texture to replicate other appearances, but other than that the inside should be roughly the same. Especially in the movies, where her “shapeshifting” is a lot more similar to cuttlefish camouflage rather than the instant growth of other versions of her. She still can change size to look like bigger/smaller people, but if her body also has improved bone density then it’s not entirely impossible. :)

[@zegenrenerd930]

Peter's power was Empathic Mimicry. His empathic power was the mechanism that connected him to others' powers. But empaths are not in and of themselves powers mimics. Hell, the show had a more traditional empath in season 4, and even she had her own spin on it, as a fortune teller

[@ImpulseEvan37]

I think with sonic screaming, your body would compensate the sound to protect the user by maybe deafening their own ears. Maybe a different bone structure too that would be durable enough to withstand the vibrations. Also, some serious throat control muscles to change the range, focus, and frequency.

[@aquatictwist]

On top of that, most superhumans that can sonic scream, are usually able to manipulate sound to a degree, allowing them to focus their scream. That would also prevent the scream from injuring themselves, as the waves aren't reaching their own ears.

There is a saying, "Animals speak to those who know how to listen". Maybe not words, but body language is very telling to those who can read it. I worked under a master horseman who could put a horse's body language and actions into words. And after a while working with horses and him I was able to do something similar. To understand animals you have to think very simply. I do not think I could properly explain it, when a lot of it is feel and energy. You have to learn to think like a certain animal to understand it. And it is not an easy thing to do because the way animals think is very alien. TLDR- body language and learning how that specific animal thinks, will help you understand animals.

Also good luck coming to a safe stop since your brain and other organs would probably shake around and give you a concussion or internal damage due to an abrupt stop. Invisibility: You'd look like a blob of dust and would have to be naked to even use it Mind Reading: The human mind is way more complicated than simple words as thoughts as movies portray them.

Re: Sonic Scream. Most heroes tend to be immune to the effects of their own powers. For example, Dazzler's powers are sound absorption and light emission and as a by-product, Dazzler cannot be blinded no matter how intense the light, nor can she be deafened no matter how loud the sound. So I am guessing Black Canary, Klaw, Black Bolt, Screaming Mimi, Silver Swan, Banshee and others with sonic powers wouldn't deafen themselves -- but if they're going around screaming all willy-nilly, they should be handing out earplugs.

[@some8ody414]

🤨 dont u think that having a super power would basically mean th1t ur body adapts to it

[@TxSonofLiberty]

1) That is not the definition of Empath... Peter Petrelli's is Empathic Mimicry (he has to feel or understand the person, which is being an Empath to copy their powers). Empaths feel others' emotions (in some cases they are also Projective Empaths, in which case they can make others feel their emotions or feel the emotion they desire someone to feel. 2) Their are loads of Super Powered people on our planet. Watch Stan Lee's Superhumans. Sure, most of their powers are no where as impressive as Superman or The Flash, but they have powers. 3) Your Shrinking argument contradicts your Shape-Shifting argument. If someone can compress and rearrange their atoms, they can maintain the same density while growing, shrinking, and alterimg the configuration. A Blowfish or Puffer can rapidly expand with no harm to itself then shrink back down. Caterpillars shapeshift into butterflies (yes, this is a slower process, but it coukd be sped up), you are looking for ways to make stuff not work, but only by ignoring ways they could work. 4) Ever been in a car and can't hear the people in the front seat while you are in the back? Sound travels directionally, it can be focused and directed, yes residual sound reflects back or even may reverberate outward, but the cone effect depicted is more accurate than you are giving credit. Sound Cannons don't affect people behind them, there is a reason a little foam can soundproof a room and while theaters are build certain ways. 5) You have the superpower to consume a gallon of highly corrosive and poisonous liquid (Hydrogen Hydroxide) everyday as well as continuously breath a corrosive and highly poisonous gas (Oxygen), so be happy about that, you got your wish. The power that should be on here is Invisibility, at least in the Invisible Man/Invisible Boy variant, where you become 100% transparent and aren't projecting an illusion or somehow compelling others to not see you. If you are making light pass through you: A) your power requires complete nudity and an empty stomach, as clothes, items, food, and drink would all be visible. B) You woukd be blind as light woukd pass through the back of your eye instead of reflecting and transmitting info down your optic nerve.

“In real life that seems incredibly unlikely to work.” As opposed to how likely one is to have shape shifting abilities? Also if one had such an ability I’d think their body would be genetically programmed to be able to shift back with little to no consequences. Even if they didn’t shift their mass back and forth from another dimension who’s to say their cells can’t alter to become denser to compensate for the mass they gained when/if they shift back to a smaller form? Also if you’re a shapeshifter like Mystique you can only get so big as she’s normally limited to the sizes of humans so all she’d really have to do is bulk up and use said bulk as fuel or better yet maybe she could have special cells that store all the excess energy from food that would normally turn into fat to use for when she shape shifts. If one has such an incredible power then it stands to reason their cells can be just as incredible.

Bruhhh theyre frickin super power man! Dont u think their body anatomy havde been made specifically so that they may use these powers?? If we are talking about in real life than am sure their body will be able to handle all these limitations u have stated.

The big problem with lists like this is that for any given superpower, there are a bevy of lesser powers that make it work. That's something many comic and manga writers have known for a long time, but apparently some people are still catching up.

That only applies to some comic booka and anime characters. Most people know this, apparently some people are still catching up.

0:59 3:55 a possible way shapeshifting into a larger or smaller being could work, is if the person shapeshifting used an internal scaffolding of sorts, kind of like how a 3D printed object’s infill works. Where the object or person isn’t entirely solid, and is mostly hollow. The amount of energy required to shape-shift could also be cut down if the molecules and cells their body was made of had very weak bonds with each other, which would require less energy from the person to rearrange them. The major drawback of this is that the person would most certainty be weaker than a human, and less durable. They wouldn’t be able to pick up a 5pound barbell like we can without ripping apart. Although the healing factor would be great, it would not good enough to counteract such a negative drawback. Although a possible solution to this would be if the person had the ability to strengthen the bonds between their cells temporarily by using a form of the electrostatic effect. Basically, the bonds between their cells would be about as strong as ours. This would allow the shapeshifter to easily break those bonds in order to change shape, but it would use a form of the static electric effect to pull those cells together, and prevent them from getting torn apart from each other when trying to do the most mundane tasks. Another way a shapeshifter could shapeshift is if their body acted less like putty, and more like a blanket or bag full of shredded memory foam that they could will into any shape that they wanted, this would require energy to not only do, but also maintain the shape. They could also have a passive mode that supplies energy to maintain their form when they aren’t consciously trying to maintain it, which would prevent them from reverting back into their default shapeless form. This one is basically a better version of the sandman or clay face style of shapeshifting, but a worse version than the one I mentioned first with the easily breakable bonds.

Conservation of energy and mass: Ruining our fantasies of superpowers since the 1920s. Empath: That word does not mean what you think it means. An Empath is someone who can feel other peoples' emotions, like Councilor Troi from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is NOT the same thing as Power duplication, which is the power you're describing (Rogue and The Mimic, for example)

[@oniemployee3437]

People. He's talking these superpowers in *the real world* . You know? The universe that follows our laws of physics? Explaining superpowers as "magic" or "supernatural" or some shit isn't going to help your point since it's still in opposition with our laws of nature.

[@gagevannuys1586]

Flying to inches off the ground would be so good bc then u could just hover over the ground and it would take no energy

[@princesoulger999]

Having empath in the real world is still a useful power, at least the version that Rogue uses. You don't just steal powers but you can steal memories, skills and even someone's personality. Imagine if you're interrogating someone and they're not talking, just take their memories by touching them. Or say you're preparing for a fight, all you gotta do is find a professional martial artist and take his skills by touching them. Have an upcoming test and didn't study ? Get the answers from the teacher or the smartest student with the power of the empath.

[@rebelliousbynature99]

An empath doesn't copy powers. An empath can read and manipulate the emotions of others.

[@corysawyer6958]

An empath is someone who could read, sense, and manipulate emotion. Power copying is what you thinking of.

Alrighty comics have been through this with aqua man, he doesnt “talk” to fish their brains are far too small and less complex than human brains. He explained he gives them commands and they obey. This is how I believe “talking” to animals would actually be semi-plausible in real life.

[@Shanecoulson20]

however there is one power that has infuriated me ever since i was a kid. in the tv show ben 10 alien force kevin can take on the physical properties of whatever materials he touches. meaning that if he touches stone his skin turns into stone, if he touches metal his skin becomes metal. with that in mind how does he get dressed without his skin becoming a mixture of different materials? how does he eat without either his skin turning into the food it's self or turning into metal from picking up a fork or a spoon? how does he bathe without his body turning into water?

[@youtubestudiosucks978]

Kevin can choose wether or not he absorbs things. You're thinking about absorbing man from marvel who took decades to not turn into everything he touched.

[@damianstarks3338]

This is why I subscribed to your channel.

[@UnknownUser-jv5fk]

You could use Power Absorbtion to absorb peak human strength, and intelligence, or absorb an owl's night vision or a cheetah's speed.

[@danielsurvivor1372]

Shape shifting is super underrated. I'd argue that unless it's very v e r y limited, then it would still be useful. If you have no limitations, you basically get multiple powers, flight, strengths, etc. If you have limitation in terms of powers, aka you can't get some powers that require some complex, say being able to eat grass while being a deer, you still have mass manipulation. Even if we go further, say drastic mass manipulation is dangerous if done too quick, you can still do slowly. Imagine the possibilities, being able to control your muscle size or strength (they aren't the same btw, however if you can only increase size of them and not strength it's still useful for looks) or being able to just shapeshift bodyfat away or maybe *redistribute it* if you know what I mean. And even then if it's still not enough, if you could only change, say colours of your skin, eyes, hair, hair length, lengths of nails, eye lashes, make your skin smoother, it would STILL be way more useful than the majority of super powers irl. E.x. Invisibility. It can be viable... If you're already blind and can move via echolocation, but that's about it. And the situations where it's useful to go invisible are even rarer than shapeshifting in it's minimalistic form. With invisibility you have to be naked, either be able to see via echolocation, or remember the location precisely, not be trackable and avoid dirt, dust, mud, modern technology etc. So shapeshifting? Pretty underrated. And best of all, unlike some other super powers, it's fully controllable.

[@blakeryan7894]

If you think about it because many if not all powers can be replicated in dc/marvel via genetics a shapshifter could have literally any ability they can imagine if they know of it's existence, you wouldn't even have to know the how a power achieves it's function because as demonstrated by shapeshifters in media most have a kind of shifting instinct that helps fill in the gaps.
