10 powers you never knew superman had – This will surprise you!

5. Hypnotism

When the Daily Planet goes the way of all the other newspapers, Clark Kent has nothing to fear. He can use Superman’s abilities to make a healthy living in Las Vegas as a magician. That’s because Superman can hypnotize anyone. This power has been demonstrated in more than one comic, yet rarely seems to come up when Superman’s in a real knock-down drag-out (or, when he’s in a major motion picture).

Thanks to his hypnotic abilities, Superman can wipe away memories or make people obey him, which kind of makes you wonder why he ever bothers deflecting bullets in the first place. He could always use his amazing mental powers to keep criminals from pulling the trigger at all. Superman has used the power, in the past, to kiss women into forgetting all about him — which really seems counter-productive.
