Since ages, kids’ lives have been shaped around superheroes and wanting to be them? Who hasn’t wondered what it would be like to have superpowers? Some want to fly while others want to be invisible or have super strength. What if this was possible? What if it wasn’t just make believe? There are certain medical conditions that exist within extremely rare individuals which on the upside seem like having superpowers. This listicle is going to name you 5 such thing medical conditions which you’re going to wish you had.
- Hyperthymesia, a.k.a., Super Memory
Ever crammed before a paper wishing you had super memory so you’d remember all of it during the paper next day? Well, that’s a worry someone with this condition doesn’t have to worry about. Hyperthymesia is a condition wherein people have an almost photographic memory. You won’t just remember what you did 3 days ago, you’ll remember every detail from even 3 years ago. Would be kind of cool to not have to worry about acing a paper right?
- Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive, a.k.a., Stone Man Syndrome
Fan of the Fantastic Four series? Well, this is your answer. This condition literally mimics what happened to “The Thing”. It gives you a stone like skin making it impossible for you to ever get a cut or a wound. So yes, essentially, you’d be a real live Thing waiting for his Fantastic Four mates.
- Muscle Hypertrophy, a.k.a., Super Strength
Perhaps the most famous superpower is that of super strength. Who hasn’t wished they were Superman? You could lift up a bus if you wanted. Muscle Hypertrophy gives you almost two-times the muscle of a normal human giving you that edge when it comes to your strength.
- Blindness, a.k.a., Echolocation
You might ask how being blind is a superpower? Well, you must have seen Daredevil. That’s how. Blind people are known to have abilities to recreate their surroundings using sound waves. This power is called echolocation through which they can identify objects and their movements despite being blind
- Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, a.k.a. Fearlessness
Sometimes the thing that stops you from making decisions is the fear of pain. Imagine not having that? CIP is a disorder where the person is unable to feel physical pain. You could put your hand on a really hot stove and not even flinch! But every upside has a downside too. This condition is also very dangerous to have as you probably won’t understand if anything is ever wrong with your body.
