We are all familiar with superheroes from films and comics – for example, Thor can control the weather, Wolverine has an adamantium skeleton, Spider-Man has the ability to stay on steep surfaces and release webs.
But there are people who truly have superpowers – for some of them they have become a real gift from above, but for some they were not lucky. In any case, superheroes are not only in films. Can we really do much more?
10 Claudio Pinto – Ant-Man
Unlike the superhero Spider-Man, Claudio Pinto does not hang on buildings and does not try to clean up the world from crime. But he does something else…
He pulls his eyes out of their sockets so that they reach 4 cm from the outside! This is 95% of the eyeballs. For his unusual ability, he is called the “Dragonfly Man”.
It is unlikely that any benefit can be derived from this ability, but it is quite possible to scare someone or impress! The ability to goggle allowed Pinto to earn good money – he does it in performances.
9. Tim Cridland – Dark Man
Many people would like to have such a superpower, not realizing that it is very difficult to live with it. Analgesia is a disease that is terrible to live with, because without a danger indicator, all life becomes dangerous.
Tim Cridland does not feel pain. From childhood, he surprised his classmates with the ability to pierce his hands with knitting needles or subject them to torture by fire. By the way, that’s how he was nicknamed the “King of Torture.”
Cridland decided that good money could be made from his ability, so he carefully studied anatomy in order to avoid harming himself in order to show interesting tricks to an interested audience.
8. Daniel Tammet – Brainiac
Brainiac is a comic book supervillain, while Tammet is a real person. Superheroes usually get their powers through some kind of drama, and so does Daniel Tammet.
As a child, the boy had a severe epileptic seizure, after which his brain underwent changes. As early as 4 years old, Daniel could perform complex mathematical problems in his mind (which almost no one manages to do!)
For example, it costs nothing for him to divide 13 by 97 and determine one hundred decimal places. He knows many languages, for example, in just a week he learned Icelandic … And it was just as an experiment.
7. Wim Hof - Ice Man
The Dutchman Wim Hov has an amazing ability to endure very low temperatures. According to Wim, since the age of 17 he wanted to experiment with his body – he saw a small lake covered with ice, and something attracted him to it …
The guy wanted to take a dip. He did it, but flew out like a scalded. He was so delighted with the experience that he began to swim in the icy water every day. He believes that being in the cold for a long time, immunity becomes stronger.
Hof has more than 20 records for survival in icy conditions: he ran in the snow (of course, barefoot), plunged into cold waters, etc. The man developed his own method to achieve health and longevity.
6. Daniel Browning Smith – Mister Fantastic
Actor and producer Daniel Browning Smith does something that is hard to imagine! But I want to know his secret. Daniel Browning Smith can easily fit through small cat holes, or fit completely in a small bedside table.
The guy with his ability resembles Mister Fantastic – that comic book superhero has the ability to take any form: stretch his body, stretch it, squeeze it, etc. On account of Smith as many as 7 records listed in the Guinness Book!
5. Lew Tou Lin – Magneto
Lew Tou Lin has an unusual ability – he attracts scrap metal to himself. This ability is surprised not only by ordinary people, but also by doctors. They can’t explain how a man does it!
Various metal objects stick to it – spoons, forks, an ax and even bricks! After careful research, one professor came to the following conclusion: the skin of a man has “suction” properties, which allows objects not to fall. Interestingly, his sons and grandsons have the same abilities.
4. Ben Underwood – Daredevil
What the human brain can’t do! American Ben Underwund, who had not yet been born, was diagnosed with retinoblastoma (in other words, cancer of the eyeballs).
Despite the best efforts of highly qualified doctors, the boy failed to regain his sight. In this world, he needed to somehow learn to live without him, so his mom said that there were other senses that should teach him to “see.”
It seems that Ben took his mother’s words literally – growing up, he did not refuse to play with friends, did the same as his peers, and even began to play computer games!
It turned out that the young man managed to miraculously develop sonar vision (such as in bats and dolphins). The guy’s brain has learned to translate incoming sounds into visual information.
3. Masutatsu Oyama – Batman
Masutatsu Oyama was nicknamed Batman because of his physical features. He became famous thanks to karate alone! The man is known as a professional master and teacher of karate.
By the way, the famous Kyokushin came up with Oyama (the most difficult and cruel kind of karate). Masutatsu Oyama managed to defeat a large number of bulls in the arena during his career: 48 of them lost their horns, because the man chopped them off with one blow of his palm, and killed three.
2. Michelle Lotito – Tony Stark
Of course, Lotito is different from Tony Stark. The similarity lies only in the fact that a man can be called an “iron man” without hesitation.
Michel Lotito gained his fame by eating a Cessna 150 aircraft. It took him 2 years to do this.
Michel Lotito lived to be 57 years old, and during his life he ate more than 9 tons of metal products. Doctors who examined the body of a mysterious man concluded that his body was accustomed to exotic products.
1. Joe Rollino Hulk
Joe Rollino weighed 68 kg, and his height was only 165 cm. For the first time he was nicknamed the Hulk (a superhero with incredible physical strength) when he was able to lift 1452 kg from the ground.
He went through the war, was involved in athleticism, also boxing and became the first strongman (power sport) in history. With only one finger, he could hold 290 kg.
Rollino lived to be 104 years old, he never had bad habits and was a vegetarian. Perhaps he would have lived longer if not for an accident – two months before his birthday, he was hit by a car.
