The power to know what people think is one of the most desired abilities people want to obtain from superheroes in comic books; however, Heinzen opposes this. According to his findings, famous in 19th century Clever Hans, which was a horse trained by the teacher of mathematics Von Osten, was able to think as human and read their mind (10). Moreover, Hans was tested by scientists to reveal the secret of his telepathy because it did not make sense how a horse could solve mathematical problems and give correct answers; nevertheless, the mystery was revealed: it was not special about Clever Hans, the study of Von Osten proved that horses are extremely sensitive to people’s unconscious movements (Heinzen, 10-16).
