There's quite a bit we don't know, but what we DO know is that we're using pretty much all of our brain pretty much all the time. There are variations in the degree to which we're utilizing each part at a given time, but every part has a (known or hypothesized) function and is active. The way the brain works on a fundamental level means that the idea of only using some amount of it, as if there were a slider you adjust up and down somewhere, is complete crap. There are so many other ways they could have MacGuffined in the pretense to making Lucy a superhero that would have worked better. Usually, I can get past that sort of stuff, but the brain thing really pisses me off. ANYWAY, did you read my damn story yet?

I did not... uh... I'll read it after I take my sister to go see a movie.

I said I was gonna go see TMNT with her, but I'm gonna try and convince her to want to see Guardians of the Galaxy so that I can watch it a second time. Q_Q

As for the brain thing, I think it'd be more logical if they went with genetics, instead. I think X-Men does a good job with explaining superpowers that way and it makes sense evolutionary wise that our genetics would eventually code itself to give us unbelievable powers. That's what I wish for and I feel like it's not necessarily going to happy any time soon because it doesn't necessarily make sense to evolve something like fire manipulation or anything like that. I think the most logical power we'd develop, if we ever did, would be telepathy or telekinesis because there are very practical applications of that rather than, say, heat vision or emitting radiation. Maybe radiation resistance should something happen to our atmosphere that was slow enough to allow such evolution.
