Designing a Superhero

What would seem to be an interesting assignment turns out to be a nightmare when you are unable to choose your super-powers freely, being forced to link it to a biological sense. That's what we have for our Introduction to Biopsychology assignment: Create a superhero from scratch with relevant super-powers related to the bodily senses. There isn't much choice to sample from. Amongst the available powers are:

1. Super Sight/Telescopic Ability/Nightvision
2. Enhanced Hearing, Advance Localization Capabilities
3. Improved Olfactory Skills, Fragance Detection
4. Superior Taste Buds
5. Ultrasensitive Pressure Receptors
6. Temperature Discrimination
7. Pain Inhibitory Ability

None of which seem to be a part of a creative superhero. Time to rack my brains again.

Why can't we have choices of surreal super-powers?

My favourite superhero would be the Martian Manhunter.

J'onn J'onzz.

People call him the Jack of all Trades, and he deserves that title very much. He has super-strength, flight, x-ray vision and damage resistance like Superman, shapeshifting and transformation capabilities like Mystique, telepathy and psychokinesis control like Professor Xavier and teleportation prowess like Blink. And, he's smart too.

BAH, now I am forced to choose only ONE out of that terrible list of seven skills above. Wish me luck...
