How a Person Can Become a Superhuman: The Iron Man and Others

Throughout the course of evolution, man has perfected the method of crafts and technology along with scientific knowledge and social interactions. During the age of the industrial revolution, with the knowledge acquired through millennia, man came up with a solution to produce industrial goods on an unprecedented scale. This led to the modern world as we know it. Nowadays, the true power of a human being is not limited by his physical body but his vision itself. A true vision can go a long way as to even inspire people to do things that were thought to be impossible. With the support of technology, science and proper skill, any human being can become a superhuman like the Avengers. The following paragraphs explain how a person can become a superhuman by bending the laws of science, technology and skill.

This paragraph explains how technology can favour a man in his quest to become powerful. When it comes to technology, with proper research and time, almost all challenges can be overcome. Let us take the case of the Iron Man. He is a highly intelligent scientist and an engineer who uses an armoured suit equipped with energy repulsion boosters and live missiles. He is also capable of supersonic flights and houses a high-density energy source. A Hydrogen Fuel Cell is capable of producing enough energy to power the suit while being portable lightweight. The same is also possible with the latest battery technology. Nuclear Fusion is a technology which is still in development that has the capacity to solve this problem once and for all (McGrath, 2019). Same is the case for superhero characters such as Ultron and Vision. In common, these characters have superhuman strength, agility and speed. In addition to this, Vision is capable of mass manipulation and cellular regeneration. The same can be achieved using nanotechnology.

Ultron is basically a highly intellectual robot powered by Artificial Intelligence. The latest news in the information and technology industry states that they have achieved quantum supremacy. In other words, computers are now able to do what the older generations could not. Hence the powers of Iron Man, Ultron and Vision can be replicated and used by anyone.

When taking Science, three main divisions come to mind, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Ancient men gave us the basics of all three. Later discoveries were powered by curiosity itself. When looking at the Avengers from a scientific point of view, many powers reveal themselves. For instance, Dr. Strange is described as a gifted and well-disciplined medical surgeon who later turned to the world of magic where he learned the skills of levitation and mystic arts. The latest inventions in the field of magnetic and acoustic levitation have made flying objects possible. Combined with specific projectors, it creates images in thin air called holograms or volumetric displays. Similarly, Black Panther has its own set of abilities which include superhuman strength, tactics and most importantly, the power to gain knowledge from its predecessors. The latest advancements in information and technology have found a way where we can preserve our memories and experiences in the form of text, video or audio files which can be long-lasting. The latest works of Microsoft and some other companies proved that memory retention is possible in this way. Hulk is a bipolar character in the Marvel Comics. Bruce Banner, a scientist who was exposed to a high amount of radiation became Hulk. He turns into Hulk whenever a trigger in his mind activates. In Bruce’s case, the trigger is his anger. Nuclear and radiation research has proven that with targeted exposure of radiation, we can obtain specific results. Currently, radiation exposure is used for cancer treatment but there is research being done on a military level for the production of therapy drugs and treatment of radiation injuries. In the coming years, we could watch the rise of a mutated species used in the war front.

As a social being, man depended on his ability to communicate, to share an idea or a thought to his fellow beings. This propelled the idea of a community that later came to be a civilization. The knowledge obtained by a generation is passed down in many ways. Books and stories are the most common ways while sports and martial arts are passed through practice. There are characters in the Marvel Comics who solely relies on his or her ability to perform a martial art or make strategic decisions. Heroes like Black Widow, Nick Fury and War Machine are practically soldiers who were trained combatants capable of disarming their enemy without any weapons and make time-critical sensitive decisions. They are also capable of working with a team. Black Widow is an expert when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, marking targets and using weaponry. Her slow ageing and enhanced immune system can be replicated with the help of medical science and biotechnology but the skills and training cannot be copied so easily. Similar is the case of Nick Fury as he uses something called Infinity Formula to prolong his life. War Machine, also known as James Rhodes was a United States Marine Corps lieutenant who later joined hands with the Iron Man in his fight. In return, Iron Man offered a suit equipped with the same technologies that he uses. Energy repulsors, rocket thrusters etc. are some of its features. Thus, social skills also can be replicated.

To culminate, with the progression of human development in the field of innovation, science and social connections, another period has started where the forces of an individual are not restricted by his body. However, his vision itself to such an extent that a normal individual one day can turn into a superhuman like the Avengers. Therefore it is clear that, powers of avengers’ are scientifically possible.
