What Are Superhuman Senses In LEGO Marvel?

1
Superhuman senses are your character's abilities. Obviously, LEGO Marvel's superheroes have several powers at their disposal. These powers, or superhuman senses, are your character's abilities in combat or puzzle-solving.
2
Abilities are not entirely unique to each hero. LEGO Marvel features an extensive list of superpowers, but these powers may be the same for certain characters. In other words, heroes like Iron Man and Gambit may have overlapping abilities, even if their powers may seem different on the surface.
- Abilities are still accurate to each hero (Spider-Man can web-swing, for example) even if they may repeat at times (Spider-Woman is a playable character as well, for example).
- Other notable abilities include flight, explosives, invisibility, hacking, and grappling. ^{[1]

Puzzles are color-coded according to ability. While superhuman senses can be used freely in combat, each obstacle/puzzle in LEGO Marvel is color-coded, indicating which powers may be needed to complete it.
- For example, purple suggests that telekinesis is needed. Use heroes like Jean Grey or Psylocke. Green is for heroes with super strength, like The Hulk or The Thing.
- If you are ever unsure what an object's color indicates, stand near it for a hint.
