After watching movies about superheroes, many dreamed of gaining some kind of superhuman ability.
Here are 10 real, and not invented by the authors of comics, people with extraordinary abilities, which science is not yet able to explain. I wonder which team of superheroes (or perhaps supervillains) would turn out of them.
10. Birdman
Is it a bird? This is a plane? No, this is Yves Rossi, a pilot and inventor from Switzerland. Inspired by the stories about Batman, he invented a jetpack with a maximum weight of 55 kg and a wingspan of 2 meters. This device, when fully refueled (30 l of kerosene), is able to fly at a maximum speed of 300 km / h for 10 minutes. After this time, Eve should activate the parachute, since there is no other way to land the jetpack, without leaving a red and iron-smelling spot on the ground.
9. Rubber man
Continues the rating of people with superpowers Daniel Browning Smith. It is flexible enough to dislocate hands and crawl through a hole the size of a tennis racket. He knows how to fold into such knots that it is painful for an ordinary person to look at. Checkmate, Mr. Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four!
8. The man who never sleeps
The Vietnamese Thai Ngok does not sleep, after a fever suffered in 1973. At the same time, he does not look like a zombie, he feels normal and calmly engaged in everyday activities.
7. Man with super memory
Daniel Tammet is able to memorize incredible amounts of information. For example, in 2004, he reproduced 22.514 decimal places of Pi, thus breaking the previous European record. Most savants (people with developmental disabilities, but geniuses in any one area of knowledge) are not able to explain their amazing abilities, but Daniel is different from the rest. He explains that in his head every integer up to 10,000 has its own unique texture, color, shape and feel.
6. A girl with eagle eyesight
Veronica Seider from Germany has a visual acuity of 20 times the ability of an average person. For example, she can see the faces of people at a distance of 1.6 km from herself. Now she will be able to consider her name in the Guinness Book of Records.
5. X-ray girl
Russian woman Natalya Demkina is able to see internal organs and determine their condition. Natalia’s abilities began to appear at 10 years old. According to the girl, something like impulses comes from diseased organs. X-ray abilities "work" only in the afternoon. But Demkin does not see his organs.
4. Sword Master
Isao Mati from Japan can foresee the exact location of things at any given time. He uses this talent to cut objects very quickly, using his katana to entertain people. Once he cut a ball for airsoft, which was shot at him.
3. Running man
Long distance runner Dean Karnazes is not as fast as Flash from comics, but real people are unlikely to compete with him. His extraordinary feats include non-stop running on a treadmill for 80 hours and participating in 50 marathons in 50 states for 50 consecutive days. A scientific group studying the possibilities of Dean came to the conclusion that if he is fed and protected from dehydration, he can 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 that he can do this because his mind prevails over matter. And the researchers are sure that this is nonsense and Tim was just born with a mutation that makes him insensitive to pain.
1. Aisman
The top 10 real supermen is led by Dutchman Wim Hof, who has hit the Guinness Book of Records 20 times. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, broke all records for swimming in ice water, and ran half the marathon in the desert without drinking. Wim uses a meditative breathing technique, so he does not feel the cold. He claims that his immune system is so developed that it does not experience the negative effects of being in extremely cold conditions.
