What's your Super Power

Growing up I loved comic books and to some extent I still do. I read X-Men, X-Force and Deadpool but wasn't a big Avengers guy. Everyone in those books had incredible powers of some sort both for good and evil.

In the real world we don't see those types of things all that often but there are certain animals in this world that when I think about it they must in some way inspired the great story tellers in comic books.

The chameleon has to be one of those, the ability to change its skin tones to blend in to its surroundings, its specialized toes to not only grip branches but stick to them as well, its prehensile tail and of course its eyes. Their eyes move independently from each other so that this little creature can see almost 360 degrees.

Amazing, I love nature and the creatures within.

Thanks for reading.

Oh this is fantastic, mostly to know someone else's brain works sort of like mine... I used to ask every person I met that I felt could be my friend what their chose superpower set would be, it tells me a lot about a person.

My choice set was Gecko Super Powers ;)

Dang he looks so cool!!! He’s living life as a rainbow 🌈

Well it's certainly one of the most amazing animal in the world. Or Mr Rainbow we can say.

Pretty awesome creatures (and great photo, as usual.) If only humans could so easily adjust tones according to our surroundings and preference. Alas, our forever shifting moods are less easy to recognize, colorful as they may be. We must rely on so much more than our eyes to discern what another is thinking/feeling. Unless...you're like me – emotionally transparent and easily read.

Here's another superhero creature – the cicada. These guys live as 'underground nymphs' for most of their lives, then emerge, shed their small exoskeletons to reveal these ornate bodies and sing their hearts out until they attract a mate.
According to wikipedia – 'Cicadas have been featured in literature since the time of Homer's Iliad, and as motifs in art from the Chinese Shang dynasty. They have been used in myths and folklore to represent carefree living and immortality.'

I, too, used to love comic books so much especially Superman series.

Evolution is amazing maybe we will have powers one day. I really like the perspective you captured. The whole photo flows with the anatomy of the chameleon.

Well to be fair, animals have not inspired only superheroes, but also many inovations.

la combinación de los colores del camaleón y su capacidad de cambiarlos en maravilloso...

It almost looks unreal. Nature is indeed a god-given gift. We need to preserve this for the humans to come.

Like that chameleon, I'd like the ability to blend with my surroundings so that nobody can notice me, especially other people :)

wow, lovely photo, haven't seen one of those in years.

Good shot by the way fab

Nature is so amazing :) This is gorgeous

Sick shot dude. One of the coolest things i've seen all day. Good work bro.
Happy steeming.

Back when I was a kid and in my super hero faze I always wished I could see x-rays of people whenever I wanted. I would be the most popular kid at the hospital telling doctors what was going wrong with someones body!

Great photo! He stopped to pose for you didn't he?

que bello el camaleón, me encanta su capacidad de cambiar el color de su piel

The colours on this little guy are just amazing.

Nature is most for me and also love creature i will follow you since we love both... We can move together

What a cool colored animal. Got to love it!

Awesome capture! I love how nature does so many things that we just can't replicate even with all of our technological advances! My power would be flying if I could choose any!

This photograph is wonderful, and this animal! Your post, it is very interesting, it is amazing the creative menra in which you describe this animal, and I am in agreement with you, the chameleon seems to have super powers, to change its skin colors, and pass up when it is in the environment, it's an awesome skill. I like the ingenuity with which you describe your photos, and the landscapes and animals that they share, really the quality of your photos is very good, and the content too!. I love nature, it does not stop surprises and amaze.

I want to share this photo that you take of an anemone, they are also very striking creatures, they can present a variety of very interesting and visually attractive colors; a sea creature that can live hundreds of years, or so many writings say
