Blogpost #6: What's in it for the Supers?

Superhumans have scattered all over the world. When I was watching Stan Lee's Superhumans, he actually discovered Daniel Browning Smith which is also known as Rubberband man or the man with no bones. He actually made a request to Daniel to find his fellow 'Super humans'. In days, weeks, months, or maybe years of searching, I was astound that he actually found more.

Yeah maybe some of us can withstand the extreme temperatures, some of us can lift heavy objects using our mouth, but what are they really getting for all of this? I mean, after getting accepted in the society, does this thing help them to become a better person? A super human is defined as a human being with powers that exceeds the natural capabilities of a normal human being. When I was a child, I've always dreamed of having super natural abilities like walking through water, ceilings, super strength, mind control, invisibility, and etc. But as I grow older, I was trained to think differently, and it cleared my mind of how different fantasy and reality is. Now, it leaves me a question, can it really be helpful despite of defying the balance of the human nature?

While I was searching for answers, I have found an article entitled, The downside of being a Superhero, written by Ron Hogan at the site called, Den of Geek. "Having super powers is, undoubtedly awesome. But there are drawbacks . Sometimes, in fact, a hero's power are counter-productive". Ron Hogan said. It briefly explains in that statement that super humans as well have minimal and solo-unit advantages. What do I mean by solo-unit? It means that he is only benefited for himself. I mean like the electroman guy, we all know that he can not stand up whole day holding light bulbs when every body else needs it.

As for human trials, super natural capabilities have more disadvantage than that of an advantage, for there's really nothing in store for them. Fame? maybe. But other than that? I think there is none. They can use it for whatever purpose they want but one thing is for sure. Anything that is abused gets bad.
