i had always been fascinated by comic books. humans are so into superheroes. they dream of having superhuman capabilities that would separate them from their race. who doesn’t want to fly (my disc does that for me), of walk through walls (smells like trespassing) or super strength. now i don’t know about flying. i guess humans are incapable of flying without any contraptions unless they breed with birds or walking through walls, that sounds like poltergeist conspiracies to me. but superhuman strength is possible in their realm.
why is it that humans can lift refrigerators, cars or their mothers and run miles when in danger or in a catastrophe? and why can’t they replicate it afterwards? simple. they call it the fight or flight response. i remembered the time i first set foot on earth after having landed in a field and seen by this male human who wore a funny straw head gear. he remained frozen on the spot for around five seconds then ran as fast as a leopard on sprint. i originally noted humans to be fast sprinters then found out that they can’t even run from their own wives. that was my first encounter with fight or flight.
some accounts report that humans can lift heavy objects and throw them when in a stress-induced incident, like fires. at some point, the brain controls that niche in your cranium and activates all the processes needed to release the needed strength. your heart pumps more blood, pupils dilate, and reflexes accelerate. all of this makes it favorable for accurate movement.
so why can’t humans have this extra strength all the time?
simple. they will die. like all matter in this multiverse, all need balance. human bodies need to achieve homeostasis and a body forever in excited state may well get weary and the immune system may get weakened over long periods of stress. until humans lift buildings as a normal daily routine, their genes are in a long way to evolving into superman’s.
