After watching films about superheroes, many dreamed of gaining some kind of superhuman ability.
Here are 10 real people, not fictional by the authors of comics, people with extraordinary capabilities, which science is not yet able to explain. I wonder what kind of team of superheroes (or possibly supervillains) would make them.
10. Bird Man
Is it a bird? This is a plane? No, this is Yves Rossi, a pilot and inventor from Switzerland. Inspired by the stories of Batman, he invented a jetpack wing with a maximum weight of 55 kg and a wingspan of 2 meters. This device, when fully refueled (30 liters of kerosene), is capable of flying at a maximum speed of 300 km / h for 10 minutes. After this time, Eve must activate the parachute, as there is no other way to land the jetpack without leaving a red and iron-smelling spot on the ground.
9. The rubber man
Daniel Browning Smith continues the rating of people with superpowers. It's flexible enough to twist your arms and slide through a hole the size of a tennis racket. He knows how to curl up into such knots, which are painful for an ordinary person to look at. Checkmate, Mr. Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four!
8. The man who never sleeps
Vietnamese Thai Ngoc does not sleep, after suffering a fever in 1973. However, he does not look like a zombie, he feels normal and is calmly engaged in daily activities.
7. A man with a super memory
Daniel Tammet is capable of memorizing incredible amounts of information. For example, in 2004 he reproduced 22,514 decimal places for pi, thereby breaking the previous European record. Most savants (people with developmental disabilities, but brilliant in any one area of knowledge) are unable to explain their amazing abilities, but Daniel is different from the rest. He explains that in his head, every whole number up to 10,000 has its own unique texture, color, shape and feel.
6. Girl with eagle sight
Veronica Seider from Germany has 20 times the visual acuity of the average person. For example, she can see the faces of people at a distance of 1.6 km from her. Now she can consider her name in the Guinness Book of Records.
5. X-ray girl
Russian Natalya Demkina is able to see internal organs and determine their condition. Natalia's abilities began to show at the age of 10. According to the girl, something like impulses emanate from the diseased organs. X-ray abilities "work" only during the day. But Demkina does not see her organs.
4. Sword master
Isao Mati from Japan can predict the exact location of a thing at any given time. He uses this talent to cut objects very quickly, using his katana to entertain people. One day, he cut open an airsoft ball that was shot at him.
3. Running man
Distance runner Dean Karnazes is not as fast as the Flash from the comics, but real people are unlikely to be able to compete with him.His extraordinary feats include running non-stop on a treadmill for 80 hours and running 50 marathons in 50 states for 50 consecutive days. A scientific group studying the capabilities of Dean came to the conclusion that if he was fed and protected from dehydration, then he could run at a speed of 11-17 km per hour until he dies of old age.
2. A person who does not feel pain
Tim Cridland can pierce his body with needles and skewers and sleep on a bed of nails. Tim says he can do it because his mind takes precedence over matter. And the researchers are sure that this is nonsense and Tim was simply born with a mutation that makes him insensitive to pain.
1. Iceman
Top 10 real supermen are led by Dutchman Wim Hof, 20 times in the Guinness Book of Records. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, broke all records for swimming in icy water, and ran half a marathon in the desert without drinking. Vim uses a meditative breathing technique so that he does not feel cold. He claims that his immune system is so developed that it does not suffer negative consequences from being in extremely cold conditions.
