How unrealistic are super powers?

In summary, it seems that there could be life out there with "super powers." These powers could include being able to turn invisible or fire lasers from their eyes. Although when you think about how strange and quirky the universe is on the quantum level, is it really outrageous to suggest that there could be life out there in the universe which does have "super powers" such as being able to turn invisible or fire lazers from their eyeballs?

Just take a look around and list all the 'super' powers that life on this Earth has. Birds can fly, flying insects, spiders spin webs, a certain lizard can shoot blood out of its eye, insects use camouflage, a chameleon that can change color, carnivorous plants, stinky shunks, fish breathing through gill in water, exoskeletons, quilled pocupines, sonar from bats, bees that can see UV rays, and the list goes on. So right here on Earth there is a wide variety of adaptations that animals ( and plants ) do use to better their chances of survival that we know about.
I guess a really good super power, one that is more original, would have to be based on events generally not thought of as belonging to our biosphere.
