You can learn more about real superheroes from the video.

1. I do like the superpower of the “Lion Man”. I think it’s cool to experience true wildlife and the reality of it. See how these animals behave in their natural habitats, and not in the zoos or safaris. If I had this kind of a superpower, I would like to (so surprising to my friends and family) spend few days in the jungle with sloths. They do nothing all day so that could be quite boring, but on the other hand I would like to feed these hairy guys some bananas and listen to their munching. I find this sound quite funny.

2. Apart from being true King of the Jungle? Hmm. I guess I would like to read people’s minds or be invisible. Both of these superpowers would be risky, as we don’t always think well about each other, or out thought drift away to some strange topics, but this superpower would be amazing in all kinds of negotiations and stuff. When it comes to being invisible, the flaws are similar, but for example it would be possible to lay down naked on the grass and chill. Without caring about anything. Or sunbathe on the beach. Quite nice, if you don’t want anyone to see you without your clothes on.


3. I do like a lot Thor and Loki duo portrayed in the Marvel movies. I have also read few comics about them, and they were enjoyable. But the main reason I am fan of this duo is their on-screen chemistry. They are sassy, humorous and cruel to each other, but on the other hand … this is how siblings work I guess :D We always fight and tease each other, but when there is any kind of problem, there is a special, soft spot in our heart to just surrender and help them no matter what.

1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
The cold resistence, very handful in my opinion. If done properly like he said maybe even can be made into heat temperature aswell.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
Ohh maybe fire and smoke control. I could be the Barbecue Man. Everyone in Poland would love me between May and August.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
From young age my favourite comic book superhero is Spider-man propably as many other people. Simple kid or man depending on the comic and movie timeframe that does amazing things, but risk both health and private life to do so.
Bartosz Barnat said…
1. The one that guy could control his body through his mind. It is pure practice as he showed in few videos presented my him.

2. Ability to be invisible. It would be just fun ;).

3. I always liked green lantern and IronMan. But when I was young the best super hero for me was a purple ninja turtle. I loved his art of using the stick.
Ela said…
1. I was most impressed by the skills of Stephen Wiltshire. It's amazing that a short look is enough to remember so many details. I also envy his drawing skills, I would like to be able to do that too.

2. I would like to be able to read people's minds. Thanks to this I could prevent some events. In addition, maybe the world would be better without lies.

3. My favorite superhero is Iron Man, I like him for intelligence and ingenuity.
Viktor Ryś said…
1.
Probably the cold resistance of Wim Hof, his technique is very simple, but also effective, and he shows mastery in it.

2.
Probably time travel, that possibility was always fascinating for me. Of course it would be great if I had some kind of safety bubble, so that I could observe the past and the future without interfering with it.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
I haven't watched this genre of movie in a long time, but I think that I liked the Batman trilogy directed by Nolan.
I think that the most amazing ability of those shown in the video was the guy with katana sword. I mean other abilities shown in video was extraordinary as well, but slicing plastic bullet shot from a gun in half with a sword is just amazing. If I could choose any superpower, I would probably choose teleportation or invisibility. I don’t know witch one is better and both of them super useful. I don’t know what is my favorite superhero. Probably I liked the most watching Iron Man but only the first chapter. The rest wasn’t as good.
1. Photographic memory is the best one. All the other abilities presented in this video are useless, maybe except the guy who is able to survive in extremely low temperatures. That runner was also quite impressive. With photographic memory one can achieve everything. Just imagine – nowadays school is almost nothing but remembering stuff. Being able to learn quickly and to remember everything you see – that would make the user of such power capable of achieving almost everything in the world, where information has the biggest value.

2. For fun, it would be nice to move items by the force of will, or throw lightings in rage, like in star wars, but for something really useful, the extreme intelligence is probably the best. It could provide the success in career and also a lot of money, because such person could potentially be the master of stock exchange.

3. Batman has always been my favourite one. He achieved everything without any superpowers, and his dark appearance is just so intimidating and impressive, not to mention his super vehicles.
Agnieszka Duda said…
1. The ultra-flexible skin would make the job of a Hollywood make-up artist so much easier.

2. Photographic memory of course. Life would get sooooo much more "bearable" knowing you can achive basically anything with such little effort. Combined with extraordinary intelligence and decent problem-solving skills you could be anyone you want. I wonder how people who actually wield this superpower deal with this fact, knowing that their only limitaion is time.

3. Batman is my favourite superhero because he is the most realistic. We would have Batman in our society by now if Elon Musk decided to fight crime instead of making rockets and flame-throwers.
Andrzej Kawiak said…
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?

For me, the most unlikely artist is a British artist, Stephen Wiltshire. He draws from memory a panorama of Singapore. He spent 5 days drawing a city panorama on a giant canvas measuring 4m x 1m. His drawing was made entirely from memory after seeing the city from a single helicopter flight. It was his first visit to Singapore.
2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
Teleporting is tempting, but I don't know what the consequences would be, I don't know what it would feel like to teleport myself, so I would choose the ability to fly.
3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
Captain America: Winter Soldier: Marvel's best movie for me. Steve Rogers was an orphan who decided to enlist in the army in 1940, but he didn't get in for health reasons. He was offered a secret military project. After preliminary eliminations, he got in. He was given a super-soldier serum, which increased his physical strength, speed, intelligence and endurance.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Thank you for your answers. :)
King of the Jungle is an interesting choice. I think, being invisible in jungles is a very useful superpower. And I agree with you that reading people’s minds can be risky. It sometimes could be hard to ignore other people's thoughts.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Yeah, the cold resistance is very cool. In the first week, we have a more detailed topic about this man. But if you could have fire and smoke control, you would already be resistant to cold.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Thank you for the comments!
I think many in their childhood watched ninja turtles. It is a great cartoon.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Having the ability to read people's minds is great when you can control this power and be able to ignore it if you want. As Queenie Goldstein from the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
Anastasiia Bida said…
I agree that time traveling is a very interesting superpower. You can discover different periods of human life. But you should be very careful not to change reality.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Yeah, he guy with katana sword is like the Fruit Ninja game in real life.
Iron Man is also my favorite superhero.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Thank you for your feedback!
I agree with you, that photographic memory is very useful especially while studying. You could save a lot of time.
And moving items by the force of will is a perfect superpower in nowadays situation with the epidemic.
Anastasiia Bida said…
What about photographic memory and extraordinary intelligence. I remembered the story of a lawbreaker who illegally made his way to the ship as a doctor. And when it was required to do an emergency operation, he closed in his cabin with medical books for a couple of hours, after which he successfully completed this operation.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Thank you for your answers!
I have not watched the movie you mentioned, but I know Captain America. He is one of the most famous characters in the world of comics. Rogers has always been a follower of justice, for which he made many sacrifices; no matter what, he always came to help.
1. In my opinion, Stephen Witlshire's amenity is not only the most impressive but also the most useful. I would like to have at least some of his talent so that I could not only know more but I would not have to waste time looking for information that I once learned.

2. I wish I could teleport. Thanks to this, I could save time, be invisible and travel to tropical countries to spend afternoons on paradise beaches.

3. Naruto is my favorite superhero. He acquired all superpowers he was able to use to overcome adversity with hard work.
Yubin said…
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
I would say Wim Hof, since I also watched his video and commented on some presentation about him two weeks ago, it is unbelievable everytime when he wanted to train himself, he could swim without any breathing under ice for 7 minutes, I guess if he just walked leisurely, he should be able to not breathe for around 13 minutes, and if I have such superpower, then I could go to shop every week without wearing a mask during the coronavirus outbreak, isn't it useful and cool?

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
I would like to have mind control or time travelling superpower, actually there is another person I remember who has superpower that was not mentioned in the video, he is Anthony Kelly, who can catch 15+ arrows in one minute with free hands, also without any armor protection, I would like to have such superpower too.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
My favorite one is Broli from Dragon Ball, and then Vegeta and Kakrolot, I don't want to tell the reason since not everyone watch Dragon Ball, but I liked it so much that I didn't 'betray' it to watch other comics books or animation. Also I would like to choose Geralt, no reason, I just like him!
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
I think the man who was mentioned the last in the video. I was confused at the moment when he cut in half the micro ball which I could barely see in the video. It is amazing or just a luck, but he has a great eyesight and reflex. I also was impressed with ability to live with lions.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
I would probably choose to be able to teleport with time travel. It would be great to see medieval times and the future. With this superpowers you can do everything and have impact on our reality. I would definitely choose this one.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
My favorite superhero is IronMan from Marvel, He is a proof that a normal human with high advanced technology can be as good as a hero with superpowers. Like with the hardworking we can change and help the world.
Anastasiia Bida said…
I have never watched Naruto, but I have heard a lot of good reviews.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Interestingly what do you mean under infinitive knowledge? The ability to know almost everything? Because I can`t imagine how can knowledge end.
Anastasiia Bida said…
I haven`t known about Anthony Kelly before, thank you for the information. :)
Yes, Geralt is a cool fantasy hero, I understand why you chose him.
Anastasiia Bida said…

Hello, here are my replies to your questions!

1. It's hard choice between Infinite endurance and photographic memory, but I think that the first man from the video has the most impressive power. It's just incredible and usefull power to have. Also, it reminds me of Forrest Gump.

2. If I could get any superpower, I'd probably go with the power to steal other people's abilities. If no one else beside me had any superpowers, I wouldn't lose anything, but in other case my power could suddenly become any superpower I'd encounter, which would be way more fun and entertaining than just having one superpower.

3. My favorite superhero is Batman from DC Comics. I love his design and his lack of superpowers, which makes him use interesting gadgets and strategies, instead of relying on unnatural abilities. He shows that with enough knowledge and resources, even average human can become superhero and help the world.
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
The most interesting skill seems to be a man who attracts metal things. It reminds me of
a bit of magneto from the x-men comic. Very nice skill :). I wonder why this is happening or genetics
yes it can mutate.
2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
Hmm it's a shame that I have to choose one skill. But I would definitely choose super regeneration, something in the style of wolverine from the comic.
3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
My favorite character is wolverine because he has a super regeneration that really works interesting but also with his character.
There are also many comic characters who like IronMan for his intelligence and inventions, for example.
MichalB said…
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?

Photographic memory is a skill that I would like to have. I like this skill in this movie. There are people who have such and I would like to have one too. It would make a lot easier for me, I think.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?

Click and do what you want. I know it's not great power but a great gadget. I think people are deprived of super power, but at some point they will find great gadgets. See flying boards or shoes. Cars or planes are also great gadgets. So I'll go this way. Not great power but great throat. For me, the pilot :-D

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?

Superman is my favorite super hero. I know he is old and gives way to others today, but I grew up on comics about him. I would mention the wildcat captain here, but he didn't have super power but intelligence!
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
Photographic memory. It would be very usefull to remember pages of documents or pictures of life and keep them very detailed in our memory.
2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
As mentioned above - photographic memory. I think It would help me in many ways.
3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
Ahh there are so many of them. I think it would be dr. Strange. Mostly because of spiritual powers and doing inception things.
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
None of them make me feel super impressed. Most of them i considered fake for example the magneto men. From this list i pick the marathon guy because i think is the closest story to be true (except stretch men but i consider is disgusting).

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
Probably the super memory ability. I have terrible problems with mine and beeing able to remember everything would be pretty cool and i think i would achive a lot.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
I would probably said spider man because he was just an ordinary guy that suddenly get his superpowers and decided to anonymously decided to do as much good stuff as possible. Not only because of his super powers which btw are super cool (shooting web and ability to climb on any surface) but also of his character.
Kgajewska said…
1. I don't know, most of them doesnt's seem usefull (except marathon guy or photographic memory). Stratch men disgusted me, sorry.

2. Mind control is very useful or telekinesis, future foresight. I'd probably go for something mistical.

3. I'd say doctor strange, his story is one of my favorites. Even when his life nearly ended and his career was lost because of the accident, he didn't give up and found inner strength to fight for himself
Grzegorz Rostek said…
1. For me the most impressive abillity in the video is Isao Machii's abillity to hit a BB mid-air. I don't believe it's a superpower, but it's impressive because of how much training and discipline had to be put into this one particular skill.

2. I don't really know, it usually depends on the superhero movie I've recently have seen. But most of the time i think i would like to have superhuman intelligence. I believe it's the best superpower that could have great impact on the world we live in.

3. It's definitely spider-man. I grew up watching Sam Raimi's spider-man movies, and that's what got me interested in the superhero genre.
1 / I think this is a British artist, Stephen Wiltshire. He draws from memory a panorama of Singapore. Very interesting and unnecessary for me, even as a artist.
2 / The most interesting and fun superpower is superlight speed, and I am sure that I will equally help others around and not forget to have fun.
3 / I am quite fond of comics and also companies such as Marvel and DC. And I think my favorite character is Vision from the Marvel Universe, and a comic book series about Dedpool.
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
I think in most I was impressed by „Lion Man” abilities. I think its cool to play with big animals and not worry about being eaten by them. This man have ability to get acceptance from animals and can help them when they are hurt. For me its amazing. In this wideo he also be accepted by other animals.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
If I could choose any super power I would choose instant transmission. Thanks to this power I could teleport in a second to the place where are my friends or family. When I was a kid I first saw this power in Dragon Ball Z anime.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
My favorite hero is Iron Man. Tony Stark is a genius in many things. He created a mobile suit in a cave using available equipment. He is funny and he doesn't beat around the bush and says exactly what he thinks at the same time. Tony always get what he want.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Thank you for the feedback :)
IronMan is also my favorite superhero. I was sad from the ending of the Avengers: Endgame.
Anastasiia Bida said…
Hello!
Do you want to have at the same time different stolen superpower or just the last one?
Anastasiia Bida said…
I also remembered Deadpool who has also a regeneration superpower. Have you ever watched films with this character?
Anastasiia Bida said…
Thank you for replies! Perhaps shortly, people will be able to replace many with gadgets, as in the Black Mirror series.
Anastasiia Bida said…
I also like Spider Man. Have you watched new Marvel movies about him?
Anastasiia Bida said…
Thank you for reply! I see, many people like Iron Man, including me. Probably because he is a very smart and charismatic character.
Jakub Kisiała said…
1. It's cool to make decisions. I really like that. In the house it's rather my belongings to make a key decisions.

2. I'm always managing decisions this way. It's terrible to make them under influence of moment.

3. I don't see sixth, but I would correct fifth. It's important to explore verified points of views. In this world there are many point of view build on fake news, which creators throwing fake-news-balls in others. It recommended to avoid listening others to much, in other way there will be much greater troubles.

1. Lion Whisper impressed me the most. Controlling such large and dangerous animals is simply amazing and incomprehensible.

2. I would definitely choose the option of flying. Thanks to this superpower, I could move from place to place literally in a moment. I would avoid traffic jams and would not have to pay for uber when I come home in the evening :).

3. My favorite comic superhero is Captain Underpants created by Dav Pilkey. Even recently, this title hit the cinemas. I have never met such a great and helpful character in the books as Captain Underpants
1. It is hard to pick just one. I have heard about the lion whisperer before and also seen the artist with perfect visual memory. Both of them are incredibly impressing. I'd love to have some lion friends myself!

2. I'd like to stop or slow time! Imagine, never having to be in a hurry and never missing a train. I'd take breaks from responsibilities and just relax :)

3. You have just caught me re-watching all marvel movies! I must say they are not all great but it brings back memories and I feel like a kid again. I always liked Hulk the most. He is a bit of a tragic character, as Bruce Banner has no control over himself when the "big guy" emerge. However, he is both a great scientist and an incredibly strong hero which is quite a combo.
Bartosz Warda said…
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?

I will go for the katana guy - Machi. Seems like the guy from those science fiction movies like matrix etc. I mean the guy just cut the bullet wit ha sword it smells like some fantasy to me.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?

The question seems for people with imagination so I will try my best. I would like to have a superpower, which would instantly solve my problems, some kind of superbrain, which will think of the best solution to the stated problem.

3. Who is your favourite comics book or movie superhero?

Not a superhero, but just a character - Taimi from Guild Wars 2. She is fun and can spice the game up with the jokes in pair with brains. Her experiments are cool and the story in where she is a secondary character makes up to that.
Olga Bogdał said…
1. I really like the man with the lions. I've never heard about him before. I think that animals can sense that he is not scared of them and also he comes in peace. Animals are pretty smart, most of the time humans are a real threat.
I am also a big fan of Wim Hof and the things he does with his mind.
2. I would really like to be able to fly. I often dream about it and then wake up feeling disappointed that this was just a dream.
3. I don't really read comic books, but I once saw Batman Forever from 1995 and I enjoyed it very much!
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
I'm most impressed by the guy with a photographic memory. if he can remember all those details he is pretty incredible. even though I think this video is a list of individuals with unusual ability these are not superpowers.
2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
I think I choose the power to create anything I want.
3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
The old Thor is my favorite not the one with a belly in Avenger Endgame.
1. Since I love running and love Forrest Gump the first superhuman mentioned in the video who run different states is the guy I am most impressed. I would love to have such abilities as he has. It reminds me to start my running training again. Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus outbreak it won’t be possible in the next few months.
2. Shooting lasers out of my eyes. It isn’t very useful, but pretty damn cool if you ask me.
3. My favorite superhero is Hans Kloss. He doesn’t have any super hero abilities, but he is comic book hero that has enormous intellect and courage to deal with Nazis.
Maciej Górczak said…
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
Photographic memory - I would love to possess all the knowledge I already forgot throughout my life. It is definitely most impressive superpower presented in this video. Also the tiger-man impresses me, because of the actions he took to protect these lovely animals.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
I do not want to talk about it - if my dream will ever come true, I do not want all of you to know who this person is ;)

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
Hulk. On the casual day, he's an ultra intelligent scientists and after hours he just smashes things. Livin' life to the fullest!
Angelika Dutt said…
1. I think I was most impressed by the cold resistance, because that's my biggest problem. During the winter, I'm practically out of life because I can't stand the cold. In addition, I don't do winter sports, because after 5 minutes I'm too cold, but I would like to. Unfortunately, I'm also allergic to temperature changes, and when it's cold outside and hot inside, I get a rash.

2. If I could choose anything, other than the above, I'd like to read people's minds, it would have to be very interesting.

3. My favorite superhero is Ironman, but it's because of his intelligence and character.
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?

I think the most interesting is the man which can control temperature of his body. I heard about him before and i am not sure but i think there was a topic on this website at start of the semester.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?

I am super hero my friend. :)
The best superpover for me would be slowing or stopping time. It is going to fast and i am sad about this.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?

When i was younger i was fan of spider-man. Right know i don't have favourite super heroes anymore. Nevertheless if i have to choose it would be probably capitain america.
Aneta Artych said…
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
All the abilities presented in this video are very cool. I really like the guy who is able to survive in extremely low temperatures. Photographic memory ability also impressed me a lot. I would love to learn quickly and remember everything I was presented during lectures.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
I think it would definitely be flying! That has to be fantastic option. Imagine you are able to move from country to other country or even continent! That is really amazing. Also this feeling while you are lots of meter above the Earth...

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
My favorite hero is Iron Man. He achieved everything without any superpowers. He is just genius and it is impressive and exiting.
1. Rememberring many details at just one glance is probably the most amazing thing that was presented in the video. I think there are many people that are able to do this. Many of them can draw amazing pictures, very detailed of course.

2. I would like to able to learn very fast. Not too fast cause that would be boring but being able to gain lot of knowledge in short amount of time would be very practical to have. I would never have problems in finding job, helping other people in anyhing etc.

3. Maybe that is not a typical superhero theme but I used to like Jedi's in Star Wars. They were amazing, many of them had amazing superpowers. Also did like Darth Vader despite him being a bad character. He was one of the most powerful characters in this universum.
Filip Bartuzi said…

1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
Photographic memory. That's the skill you could benefit from the most and I always admired people who have such skills
2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
That would be healing. Any disease, physical or mental, could be healed with just a thought or touch from myself. A lot of saved lifes
3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
I hate superheroes and for that reason I never read any comicbook in my life (I know, I know, that's not the only genre that is represted by comic books but as it as a majority I never pushed myself enough to find something for myself). Maybe Batman is the closest thing I could enjoy as he doesn't have any super-powers (except for money)!
Klaudia Kozioł said…
1. I’m most impressed by the visual memory of Stephen Wiltshire. I wonder if his visual memory works also in different grounds for example does he remember all what he reads? If yes I can imagine how learning at school was easy for him.

2. I think I would choose the ability to be invisible or to fly. Can’t decide.

3. I do enjoy superhero movies, but I don’t have favorite superhero.

Roman Dubovyi said…
1. I kind of heard about them all I think. The most neat are "running man" and a dude with photo memory. But actually running was always a humans superpower, it's due to the ability of sweating through hairless skin. And regarding photo memory, actually we traded that skill of our mind(which monkeys still posses) to be able to think abstractly. Wonder if this dude has a tradeoff.

2. I would like to be super smart and be able to convince anyone in anything.

3. I don't like neither Marvel nor DC!
1. Some time ago I made a presentation here about Wim Hof and his amazing skills. I am impressed by this man and how he was able to adapt his body and mind to be able to survive in such low temperatures. Other people mentioned in the material also deserve admiration.
2. If I could choose a super power, I think it would be the power to move in time or be invisible. That would be great. I was also thinking about the power of reading people's minds, but after a moment of reflection I don't think I would like to know exactly what people are thinking about. It could be tiring.
3. I hove many favorite characters from comics or movie superheroes. From movies, I really like Marvel characters and when it comes to comics, cartoons my favorite was Dragon Ball and the hero Songo.
1. Abilities mentioned in the video which impressed me the most was the ability to stand very low temperatures and very good memory.
2. I would choose an ability to have many abilities XD but If have to choose I would choose something conneted with mind.
3. When I was a child I was I big fan of wolverine, but as I grow older I realized that superheroes that have psychic abilities are more fun. Especially after watching tv serios legion which I highly recommend.
s18716 said…
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
I like Wim Hof. Like his superpowers. A very useful thing is actually to be resistant to the cold. I heard about him a very long time and still admire his abilities. Although the other superpowers are also quite good. Today there are few such people, so each of them can be envied in a good way.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
Well, I really like the abilities that Wim Hof ​​possesses, I would choose them. When it comes to real-life superpowers. It seems to me that this feature is quite useful for the body. Since at some low temperatures the aging process of the cells slows down and thereby prolongs life itself. Therefore, a person possessing such abilities has a lot of advantages.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
There are so many of them. It is very difficult for me to answer this question. It has always been difficult for me to single out any of the Marvel or DC universes. And besides them there are still many different superheroes. But I always liked the heroes who possessed more real abilities, such as intelligence. That is, in this case, it can be Iron Man or Spider-Man, or the Hulk, but only its human version.
1. The skills of a man with stretching skin made the biggest impression on me. Seeing what he is doing seems to be wearing artificial leather and after realizing that skin it is real I feel strange.
2. If I could choose super power, I would like to be able to fly, because of it I would reach the designated places faster.
3. My favorite superhero is ironman because he shows that everyone can be hero thanks to work and perseverance
1. Interesting topic. I would like to have a perfect visual memory I think it is most useful superpower. Also I was really impressed by last man, who can cut even small things really fast. I think he improved his skiil to perfection level. He can predict a bullet speed as for me it is superpower.

2. Definetly I would like to be a supersmart. I like IronMan because he doesn't have any superpower given by god but he made himself a superman using his own resources and his mind. I think a superpower of IronMan is being super smart

3. As I mentioned before it is IronMan but also I like Thor. In last part of Avangers he was a really good at the end.

Tony Stark. Period.

1. The magneto power. That was incredible and I’m interested why this man had such a power.
2. If I could choose any, I would pick an inviolability- the same that Super-Man had. That would be cool!
3. I have to favorite heroes- Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Bruce Wayne (Batman)- both of them achieve everything thanks to remarkable minds, which makes them much more real than other heroes.

1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
I'm probably the most impressed by the slicing guy and the one with photographic memory. It's unbelivable that a humen can be so fast and see what nearly can't be seen.
But the Mag-neat-o man has that fun feature that when you drop a screw under your bed it only requires to put your foot under it and BOOM, done.

2. I've always dreamt about having an ability to control electricity. I mean to for example to be able to electrocute someone with electric strike or to have some kind of electric shield that would protect me from hits.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
The first superhero I like that comes to my mind is the Iron Man. I like the character's personality which is base on Elon Musk which is someone that I would like to identify with. Intelligent badass with a million ideas and philanthropist who lives surrounded by high-tech.
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
I think the last one was really impressive and marvelous. Most of "powers" mentioned in the video are probably possible becouse of the body abilities but not as an effect of hard work. The speed of that Japanese man is a result of his determination and great will power.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
If I could I would like to choose morphing or transformation into animals, especially cats or big wild cats.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
Nowadays I don't read comics, books or watch movies about superheroes, but in the childhood I used to like the most Wolverine and Storm from the X-Men's cartoon.

1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
Cutting the bb in half like a witcher made the biggest impression on me

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
Immortality – infinity time is all You need.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
My favourite superpower is immortality – so I encourage you to watch „The man from earth”, but it isn’t a real superhero film.
From oldschool superheroes I like Spider Man the most.

1. I think it's the first guy who can run for such an extended time. That's rly impressing and I wish I could do the same.

2. Something that lets you make money, quickly and easily. Maybe just a superpower to make money, yes, let's settle with that.

3. I really dislike superhero comics and movies aside from "Deadpool", so my choice isn't hard to make.

1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
Precision in using sword of a last person in a clip impressed me the most.

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
I'd like to have omniscience. Writing it down and sharing with humanity would make a great good.

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
Obelix from Goscinny's and Uderzo's Asterix series is my favourite superhero. Although he sometimes is a bit naive, he has sense of humor, he is brave and devoted to his mates.
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?
Cold resistance. It's really handy, but it's also one that anyone can achieve with discipline. But I am a huge fan of Wim Hof, so my opinion can be a little biased.
2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?
Time travel would be great. The real sightseeing and I could mess a little bit with the timelines or become a God for some ancient civilization with just showing them a mobile phone. Unless they burn me at the stake.
3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?
I've always liked Dr. Strange for some reason. I could have his superpowers. I would be much more entertaining at the parties.
1.I think I was most impressed with two skills. First of all, it's amazing how the human body can surprise us and what it can be capable of, and I'm talking about Dean, who is able to run so many kilometres without any problem and without feeling tired. Secondly, it is surprising that man is able to get so close to wild animals.

2.I would choose to read in the human mind. I would know what to expect from someone. Living with such an ability would be much simpler and easier in interpersonal relationships. I could also choose the superpower to be immortal, I wouldn't have to worry about anything then.

3.Definitely my favorite superhero is Deadpool. Starting with his super skill of being immortal and ending with his great black humor. Deadpool works alone, together with his crazy mind, he is an incredibly colorful character who stands out from the others. It's not a candy character, mainly aimed at children; on the contrary, the Deadpool character represents a real, bitter life with lots of bloodshed.
1. Which of the abilities mentioned in the video impressed you the most?

I'm the most impressed by a photographic memory. It is one of the most useful skills I can imagine. Learning would be so much easier and even the most complicated things could be learned just by remembering what was on the studied paper. 

2. If you could choose any superpower, which would you like to have?

If could choose any superpower I would choose the ability to teleport anywhere in the world. The travel wouldn't be any problem, and even conducting business would be much easier, you could have two meetings scheduled in other parts of the world. 

3. Who is your favorite comics book or movie superhero?

My favorite superhero is Batman, even though he hasn't got any supernatural skills he is my favorite. Maybe his lack of superpowers is the think why I like him the most, he is the most relatable because of this.

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and naturally.
