list the special abilities all primarchs have in common

The Primarchs, legendary characters in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, were genetically engineered
super-beings created by the Emperor of Mankind. While each Primarch was unique, with their own
special abilities and characteristics tailored to reflect the Emperor's various aspects, they all shared
several common abilities due to their enhanced genetic makeup. These include:

1. **Superhuman Strength**: Each Primarch possessed strength far beyond that of even the most
formidable Astartes (Space Marines), themselves genetically enhanced super-soldiers. This strength
allowed them to wield heavy weapons with ease and engage in feats of physical prowess impossible for
normal humans.

2. **Superhuman Durability and Resilience**: Their bodies were incredibly resilient, able to withstand
wounds that would be fatal to others. This durability extended to an enhanced resistance (though not
immunity) to toxins, diseases, and extreme environmental conditions.

3. **Regenerative Healing**: Primarchs could heal from injuries at an astonishing rate, making them
extremely difficult to kill. Some, like Vulkan, had abilities that went beyond simple rapid healing,
venturing into the territory of true immortality.

4. **Superhuman Intellect**: Each Primarch possessed intelligence far surpassing that of regular
humans, with cognitive abilities enabling them to master complex strategies, technologies, and
sciences rapidly. This intellect also endowed them with exceptional leadership qualities.

5. **Psychic Potential**: While the psychic abilities varied significantly among them, and some
Primarchs like Leman Russ and Rogal Dorn appeared to manifest minimal to no overt psychic powers, all
were nonetheless imbued with a high psychic potential by virtue of their creation. Some, like Magnus
the Red, specialized in psychic prowess.

6. **Inspiring Presence**: Primarchs had an almost supernatural aura of command, able to inspire and
lead the Adeptus Astartes and humanity more broadly. Their mere presence could uplift the spirits of
their followers and demoralize their enemies.

7. **Longevity**: Although not strictly immortal (as some did meet their ends), Primarchs were designed
for incredibly long lifespans, potentially extending for thousands of years without diminishing in their
capacities, barring fatal wounds.

Each Primarch's specific abilities were further customized to match the role they were intended to play
in the Emperor's grand vision for humanity, making them not just superhuman soldiers but embodiments
of the facets of humanity's potential, both great and terrible.
