Hey there.
A few years ago I saw this video:
Case in point, while not really "super powers" per se, the things those people did were definitly special and extraordinary. Let's talk about people like them. Who else do you know that has a "super power"?
For those not wanting to watch the video, here is a list of the people mentioned:
- Michel Lotito
- Mas Oyama
- Scott Flansburg
- Ma Xiangang
- Wim Hof
- Isao Machii
- Dave Mullins
- Kim Peek
- Ben Underwood
- John Chang

Michel Lotito
He was able to eat metal. According to Wikipedia he ate a Cessna aricraft.
Mas Oyama
A Martial artist that went places. From Wikipedia:
Oyama tested himself in a kumite, a progression of fights, each lasting two minutes, and each after the featured participant wins. Oyama devised the 100-man kumite which he went on to complete three times in a row over the course of three days. He also fought bulls bare handed and won.
Scott Flansburg
"The Human Calculator", he is able to solve pretty much most math problems in his head faster than he can write the solution down or say it out loud.
Ma Xiangang
He is apparently immune to electricity and no one knows why.
Wim Hof
He can withstand extremely cold temperatures. As in, running around nearly naked with -20°C and stuff like that. And with "running around" I mean as in jogging/running/training excercise.
Isao Machii
A japanese Iado master that holds several world records and was able to cut pellets in half that were shot at him. He has an extreme hand/eye coordination.
Dave Mullins
World record holder for several under water swimming/breathing sections. As in, swimming/diving over 200 meters with a single breath.
Kim Peek
A megasavant that had an extraordinary memory. He could read through books in like 1-2 hours and remember basically every word in it. He was a human Dictionary.
Ben Underwood
He had a form of cancer and had his eyes removed at the age of 2. He taught himself echolocation like bats do and was able to move around normally as if he could see.
John Chang
Probably the one who is closest to a "super power". He is a Qi Master and could produce heat by channeling Qi in his body. He was able to set things on fire by channeling the Qi into it. There is a video out there that shows this. Decide for yourself whether you find this real or fake.
