Not even all that different times at that Hydor, in a single day im fairly certain (source: from a Neuroscience Psychology lecture from a few months back) that the full 100% is reached.

You know how the brain works basically with every neuron working like binary on/off mode yeah? well what happens when everything is in 1. It freezes. The 70% sort of thing is similar to when the you'd have computer running 30 complex programs at once, the motor heats up and it potentially busts. This is the sort of thing observed in epileptic shocks, random massive neuron activity exceeds the level that the human brain can actually process. If you want superhumans check out Stan Lee's Superhumans, but i think more of what you're talking about (increased strength, frame by frame reflexes, complicated super genius calculations in moments, enhanced speed [i suspect]) are more attributed to Adrenaline and Autism. As to whether something like a metagene-or x-gene whatever universe you want to come at it from, personally i think it's entirely possible and happening this century just not to the degree of comics, more in line with actual evolution and adaption to adversity. As a generation we're facing what has killed plenty of other entire civilisations: epidemics, natural disasters, prolonged warfare, horrific pseudo-pubescent aural torture, political upheaval, you name the destruction of civilisations we've had it, considering that i think that as a race if we dont get more out of that then "beliebers" and "bronies" then we deserve to be replaced by sloths as the dominant form of civilisation
