superhuman abilities
Beyond normal capacities
Superhuman abilities are powers or capacities beyond normal human limits—extraordinary strength, speed, perception, or skills that exceed what ordinary people can achieve.
The phrase appears most often in discussions of comic book heroes, science fiction, or speculation about human enhancement: The serum gave him superhuman abilities.
Sometimes used hyperbolically for exceptional but natural talent: Her superhuman ability to remember faces.
