While humans have long imagined having superpowers like those depicted in comic books and legends, possessing actual superpowers could have significant downsides and risks. Invisibility could enable embarrassment and enable criminal behavior that is difficult to detect, while super strength could enable destruction if not paired with wisdom. Abilities like flight, shapeshifting and other powers could be wonderful but also make the world difficult to trust and full of deception if anyone could transform their appearance or spy at will. Therefore, it may be for the best that some superhuman abilities remain in the realm of fiction.
