18. Aquaman/Namor Powers Actually Possible
- Company: Marvel & DC Comics
- Real Science: Engineering, Chemistry
- Possible to Recreate: Yes
While Namor came along before Aquaman did, the two are forever linked due to their seemingly endless similarities. Both have some form of super strength, speed, agility, etc. However, Aquaman can telepathically communicate with fish while Namor telepathically controls them. Both are also able to breathe on land and in the water. The facts behind comic book characters like Namor and Aquaman are fascinating for sure, but some of what they can do is possible.
Researchers have been able to communicate with certain aquatic creatures using vibration and whistling. On top of this, the early development of an underwater breather is underway using cobalt crystals. This absorbs oxygen and releases tiny amounts repeatedly when it’s heated. A bucket full of this could absorb an entire room’s worth of oxygen. Since the “O” in H2O stands for oxygen, the crystals could endlessly absorb this, allowing people to remain in the water as long as they want.
