All children are born with special genes because of the DNA that could make them the superhuman athletes that could make them the fastest and strongest people in the whole wide world.
Glacies
That is true. well, mostly, some children are born with genetic mutations which make them weak and sickly, thus unable to do much anything physical...
well that was fun...what's the point of this thread again? not saying there isn't one, just wondering what it is...
exeller
This reminds me, I heard somewhere that there have been people who have been just naturally good at sports. ALL sports. Don't really remember their names though. disgust.gif
Hedisl
Did you guys learn how to use superhuman speed and strength?
Glacies
hmm.gif huh.gif
nope, I fall into the weak and sickly category i'm afraid...again i ask, the point of this thread is...?
Hedisl
Um. I'm just curious. You must develop the ability to move and run at superhuman speed and you must develop your superhuman strength. You will go find a book to learn. All of you are born with special genes. Where are the real others who are born with superhuman speed and strength? Did you use the levitation to be able to fly?
Glacies
Good enough reason for me! thumbsup.gif

well i for one thought you'd meant people born with the capacity to perform with exceedingly high levels of strength and speed, though all within the realm of human abilities...didn't think you'd meant superman strength...that I'm a little less in agreeance with...
Hedisl
Well, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. They are born with superhuman strength and superhuman speed.
Glacies
I've never heard of such a case, can you give any examples?
Hedisl
Well. You have to run really fast and you can do lift things like cars and stuff.
Glacies
I apologize, this must be my fault here, I must clarify, I meant can you give me an example in which someone has run superhumanly fast, or superhuman feats of strength were performed? I cannot think of any real claims...
Hedisl
You can run superhumanly fast and DaKong can have superhuman strength. You have ask someone to give you the example.
Glacies
well then, I must say I don't agree with your initial post. while it is an interesting theory and perhaps a few centuries down the line, we may be capable, but as of right now, we have no such potential. superhuman feats are just that, superhuman, and cannot be reached by human beings unaided.
Hedisl
So. You gotta be the fastest runner by using superhuman speed. I'm just giving you some advice. That's all.
Glacies
no, i'd agreed with you, being the fastest runner is still well within human reaches, however saying superhuman takes it out of the grasp of humanity.
Hedisl
Well, I'm sure that all the children might keep their superhuman powers and abilities.
Glacies
huh.gif Okay...you've lost me here...

Genetics will affect your body structure and so, depending on the specific traits, you may display over average attributes. For example a genetic variance that bestows a very efficient metabolism and muscle growth, could affect your physical strength and everything else that relates to mechanical movements (ie running).

Gene comibination may give rise to oddities, however those are usually best or worse case scenarios at the very extremes of our body's potential.

You mean the ones which tear their muscles the first time they use their 'ability'? hmm.gif

Wow! This thread is amazing! w00t.gif I thought I was watching Dumb and Dumber until Bio-Mage showed up! w00t.gif Wow!

Ask Hedisl about the planet Mobius. Your eyes will cross....

This is absurd, not only because you are talking about superhuman abilities with little to back you up, but because you are going against what you initially posted about genes. If it was genetic, it should express itself without being fully trained. [Also take note at what BIO-MAGE said].

You can train your body to its limits, as people in the Olympics do and have done in the past, for example. They are some of the best [If not the best] athletes in the entire world. Super-human, on the other hand, is impossible to achieve without some sort of "genetic mutation" because it is exactly that; beyond human. If you did not initially have unusual fitness or physical prowess, for example, then it is unlikely there is some sort of super-human gene in you unless you are a carrier. If that is the case, then your children have a chance of having the gene expresseed naturally.

It also would not be one gene. One gene alone does not specify how "powerful" you are, but rather a multitude of things. You may have superhuman muscles, but without superhuman lung capacity and a mighty cardiovascular system, it will not matter because you will not be capable of producing the amount of oxygen required by the muscles.

Therefore it is even more unlikely for this to exist in the first place because of the massive amount of genetic "mutations" [A better term being abnormalities] required to bring such things into existance, in which case would easily be noticed by the world media.

It is around 99.99999% repeating certain that we do not live in a world with X-Men. Sorry to dissapoint you.

Look, all the Kenyan runners are born with superhuman speed and strength in genetics with superhuman abilities.

no offence to anyone, but I'm tired of reading "superhuman speed and superhuman strength."

Kenyan physiology has adapted in the harsh conditions of their natural habitat. The need to transverse large distances of very little vegetation to hunt and scout, means that their bodies were getting maximum output from limited food portions. Their lifestyle may gave them a natural advantage over other athletes(nothing supernatural though), however you dont see only kenyans winning long distance races and marathons. The reason behind this, is of course that any human body can be conditioned to be as efficient, if trained torwards that specific goal. You see the slight metabolic changes that define certain populations cannot possibly overide basic design that much. thumbsup.gif
Hedisl
Well. yeah.

There's another way to get superhuman speed and strength.

I don't think that any man let alone a child lift cars or anything that heavy without having to do physical training and body building.

Actually I preety sure I can run faster than this dude and that I will live longer. For everything else there is mastercard...
