Enhanced Senses
Perception far beyond human range — smell, hearing, sight or a sense with no human equivalent.
How it works
The most under-rated power in the medium, because it decides who finds whom. It is what makes a tracker, and it is the reason stealth fails against certain characters. It is also the most commonly written weakness: an amplified sense is a vulnerability to overload, which is why sonic and chemical attacks are the standard counter.
Who has enhanced senses
Across 4 universes. This list crosses publishers — something no single wiki can do, because every franchise keeps its own separate database.
