Question: Is it possible to alter genes so that the person can become a superhuman? Thanks!

All fiction stories and movies about Superheroes use genetic background.
A mutant Spider bite (spiderman), a radiactive compound (deadpool) … Great fantasy!
We have all been bitten by a mosquito or a spider and nobody had super powers.
Sadly due to the fact, that this animal will not share DNA but a type of saliva to enhance blood access.

Some morphological features are dependant on few genes. Therefore mutating them all might be difficult. Moreover, not all genes get express in all organs and some will even not been expressed after some stages in life.

Here a good article about people having the mutant gene for a disease but not suffering from it:
