The only real/verifiable human superpower

is having babies. Both my over 30 daughters just had their first. One day apart (unplanned) back in January.

I am starstruck,

My spidey sense is haywire.

I would argue however that "creativity" is the closest thing to a real life superpower human beings have. Yes, some other animals can get creative when it comes to problem-solving, but human creativity reaches a point where it's something more akin to magic than anything else we know of in the universe.
