I’ll throw diplomacy into the discussion, which comes as a result of curiosity, understanding and listening. Bringing people together around an idea is hard. Getting them comfortable with change is even harder. Managing these conversations so everyone sees the benefit of change, to the business, the project and the their personal situation is key to moving forward.
Having super powers to perceive physical, bodily sensations and realities! not only see design elements like color and texture and shape, but to know what space actually feels like and be able to predict and shape how others will experience it. Designing in 2-dimensions on a screen is very different from designing for humans in 3 dimensional space. Virtual, on-line design tools are helpful, but they lack what matters most to me as a designer, which is creating a space for full, IRL experience.

I would add to other hidden superpowers: the ability to document findings and processes and also be part of business decisions.
