The 6 Best Super Powers In Cinema

Once upon a time, the phrase ‘super power’ conjured images of stony-faced world leaders posturing on the international stage. These days, however, its closest association is with the superheroes that increasingly crowd our cinema screens – battling it out against nefarious foes with sinister plans. It is imperative that these champions of justice possess the necessary means to ensure our fictional safety and, over time, we have seen a vast array of super power combinations employed on screen.

Perhaps the coolest of all the super powers is the ability to move between dimensions – because it opens up all kinds of storytelling opportunities. The most popular of dimension-travellers is certainly Thor, who pops back and forth from his home-world of Asgard to work with the Avengers. Ant-Man has the ability to shrink into the Quantum Realm and return, in one piece, and Ghost Rider can roar his way between dimensions, dispensing justice as he goes. But it is Dr. Manhattan that rules this particular super power corner, as his inter-dimensional abilities are so powerful that he can see all of time simultaneously.

If surprisingly few cinematic superheroes have the power of super speed, then even fewer are able to slip between the fabrics of one reality to another. These are the characters that have a view of the universe entirely unique to them. They hold secrets that are unknowable to the human race, and that makes them more powerful than most.
