Super Power Catalogue - Likely Attainable Vs. Not So Likely

Internet Tip: Pressing CTRL+ALT+F4 will close all tabs in Internet Explorer except the current one.

This is just a few of the most widely known super powers, organized according to their likelihood of being achieved or becoming viable in the near future. Their viability is based more on historical accounts and less on scientific proof, since most of these abilities have yet to satisfy the most skeptical disbelievers.

More Promising: Precognition, Clairvoyance, Telepathy, Telekinesis, Retrocognition, Rapid Learning, Rapid Healing, Super Strength, Manipulation, Super Endurance,Animal Mind Control, Unnoticabilitiy , Weather Control.

Less Promising: Super Speed, Shape Shifting, Matter Penetration, Self-Division and Reunification, Body Swap, Energy Leeching, Human Mind Control.

You might recognize some of the less promising powers from various works of fiction. They're fantastic to explore and see utilized, but do seem to have a larger gap separating them from reality than the ones above. However, it seems likely that science could help to bridge that gap.

Perhaps a network of weather control machines will one day exist. Maybe a body swap could be possible through the use of completely prosthetic bodies. Such incredible possibilities exist within science and technology that it seems folly to write off certain abilities as, "Never gonna happen." For the time being, though, some abilities seem to hold more potential for use in the near future than others.

aerokinesis really needs to be moved into "Less Promising"

Just like the title says.

Wow seriously?

He's not going to waste time stating every single "Ability" just for your sake. Quit being lazy and post it up yourself.

Energy leeching

As I hope most of us are aware, most legends and myths are exagerations of something quite true and possible. Vampires were told to suck the blood for energy and to have super strength and speed and be nearly indestructible. While those traits are a wild exageration and I doubt thought do not completely toss out the idea that one would be able to attain powers to that level. However...there are said to be modern vampires who do not suck blood but instead energy. I know many people like this...I being one of them. I am still learning and by no means have I mastered this ability but am very aware that I can consciously suck the energy or chi from a person and drain them entirely to a point of passing out, though taking so much outs me at risk simply from 'overflow'. This energy can be used in many ways the most common being simply to sustain ones self. It can also be redirected in another persons body to focus on one point, say an organ, to cause severe damage to that particular body part. There have even been unconfirmed reports of 'Master Vampires' being able to break the bones of others and cause organs to...rupture to put this lightly. I myself have been able to break a man's arm at one point, though it put so much strain on myself that I nearly passed out. But it is entirely possible.

But would you cause someone

But would you cause someone harm through your abilities? I've heard about certain people leeching energy through psychic vampirism, and believe it is possible. And fair enough, if you leech the necessary amount of energy needed (say you were depressed or whatever) from someone who had more than plenty. That sounds fair. But you could also leech someone's energy and hurt them, maybe on purpose. So use your knowledge and abilities wisely. Like it says in Spiderman, "With great power comes great responsibility". And even though that's just fiction, its still a good rule to live by.

Only saying because in your comment you sounded as if you were'nt bothered about breaking that man's arm and all the stuff with the 'Master Vampires'.
