14. A Character With Superhuman Ability


What is superhuman? The dictionary definition of superhuman is “having or showing exceptional power or skills.” These are abilities that exceed those normally found within humans. These could be acquired naturally, through study, or by aid of technology.

For this prompt, you could choose a superhero comic, a novel about a character with powers, a biography on an Olympian, a non-fiction book about modern geniuses, etc. The character with superhuman abilities could be the protagonist or an antagonist, a main character or a minor one.

[Gerry]

Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy fits this category and was an amazing novel! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Leslie]

For we are Many. It is the second book in the “Bobiverse” series. Calling the main characters superhuman may be a stretch as they are all space drones controlled by copies of a human mind. But each one has talents that I would consider superhuman, including being immortal.

[Belle]

Lady Robyn - R. Garcia y Robertson

[Shirley]

I read a book called "The Italian Island" by Daniela Sacerdoti about a girl that looks at an old object and can project herself into the past. It works for me so I used it for this prompt.

I have the book “follow me to ground” in my tbr pile. The main character can heal illness with her hands

[Ellemir]

I just finished a book that has lingered on my bookshelf for years.
The main character is a wizard - being able to perform magic sounds pretty superhuman to me.

Storm Front

I’ve just finished If Cats Disappeared From The World by Genki Kawamura. It contains ‘the Devil’ who will make something disappear in exchange for granting the narrator an extra day of life. It’s definitely a thought-provoking read.
