I think whether you view it as a superpower depends on how potent your ability to hyperfocus is. Mine is very potent. I am able to direct and sustain nearly 100% of my attention to anything that interests me for long periods of time.

Do you relate to that at all? Are you able to hyperfocus?

That resonates with me when I play classical chess. If you are not already playing, you might check it out.

I can’t get into chess. Investing is the ultimate mental game for me though. So I’m happy to hyperfocus on that.

I fully understand, investing is really fascinating, it requires knowledge in a variety of fields from math to law and geopolitics. I guess I am not hyperfocussed, because I do chess and investing (and law).
