Alison explored the idea of real human superpowers in an article in the Sun newspaper online. It’s behind a paywall so you’ll have to pay for access but the link is: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/5351216/Real-life-superpowers.html in case you’re interested.
But like Dave says, radiation mutations are very likely to be damaging to our DNA. Alison suggests a more successful route might be using retroviruses to change our genes directly, but this is very unlikely to happen because of the ethical concerns!
