So earlier I posted a thread (off topic) on ideas I had for how super power mutations/genetic engineering could happen simply titled Real life super powers. I got some skeptical views on those ideas. This is on the subject but for more of your opinion. Do you personally think powers of the sort of:
X Men
Fantastic Four
Avengers
Justice League
...could occur on Earth with any plausibility, by technology, mutations, genetic engineering or aliens? Time frames:
Near future
10 years
100 years
1,000 years
Million years
Maybe give an opinion with an open mind for them to happen ANY WAY; doesn't have to be some silly "getting struck by lighting and doused with chemicals" way. Genetic engineering has gotten to the point where we can make glow in the dark mice, and of you search real super powers there are type 1 mutants. We are close to having real life Iron Man, Spiderman and Captain America. My post suggested that many powers could be accomplished by the cellular membrane; or adhering things to human bones. Even if humans definitely won't get powers in the near future, maybe with a huge amount of advancement? Could aliens with different biology have great powers? Finally, could alternate univeres (if they exist) actually have superheroes like those in the comics? Could powers be gained based on science we don't understand yet? With an infinite Universe/infinite number of Universes anything that's possible can happen. By the way, do any of you know what Stan Lee's opinion of the plausibility is? If you think none of that is in any way real, why do you still care? I think any time we read fiction we are secretly imagining it taking place in some distant planet/Universe. How much could be discovered/accomplished/possible in a Universe as vast and mysterious as ours? Your answers to these questions are much appreciated.
