7 People With Real Superpowers

Watching all those superhero or mutant movies ever wished for a couple of superpowers? We know you did, because we wished for some as well. The reason we wish for such powers must be due to the fact that human beings are restricted to doing only a few things. But our mind has no such barriers. It can carry us through time and space, flying across the skies or swimming in a frozen lake.

While we are only imagining stuff there are actual humans out there who can do some pretty incredible stuff. No, they weren't part of a science experiment gone wrong or a radiation leak. They were just born different or we humans know far less about each other.

Read on to find out some of the people who possess real superpowers.

Shakuntala Devi: Human Computer
Lets start off with an Indian lady who had real superpowers and she was popularly known as the 'Human Computer'. Yes, we are speaking about Shakuntala Devi. Her greatest feat was calculating the 23rd root of a 201 digit number in 50 flat seconds. For the answer to be calculated they had to build a new program to perform such a vast calculation. Sadly she passed away in 2013.

Stephen Wiltshire: The Visual Memory Genius
Imagine flying over New York City on a twenty minute helicopter ride, only to recreate the entirety of whatever you saw in a 19 foot long drawing. Seems impossible right? But that is what Stephen Wiltshire did with his real superpowers, in his case photographic memory.

Isao Machii: Reflex genius
A Japanese laido master who has superhuman abilities like Superman. Why? His reflexes are so fast that he has people shoot at him with air guns, the bullets of which travel at 500feet per second and he cuts them in half! Don't believe us? Just Google his name.

Daniel Browning Smith: Mr. Fantastic
Remember Reed Richards from Fantastic 4? He was the brains of the team and his super power was to stretch like rubber. While Daniel Browning cannot stretch like rubber but he is just as flexible. He once fit through a tennis racket rid of its strings! Well, that's some real superpowers my friend.

Ben Underwood: Daredevil
Real cases of superpowers are often the simplest but also the most shocking. Ben Underwood makes clicking sounds using his mouth and judges the echo thrown back at him to navigate his path. All this after he lost his eyesight at the age of 3 due to cancer. That's what bats do, echo-location. Daredevil would be so proud today!

Liew Thow Lin: Magnet Man
Another real case of superpowers would be this guy from Malaysia named Liew Thow Lin. Also known as the 'Magnet Man', this guy has the ability to stick metal objects to his body! He can even a pull a damn car with his powers. The best thing is that even his grandchildren exhibit the exact superpower.

Wim Hof: Iceman
Meet Mr. Wim Hof, also known as Iceman who can handle extreme cold conditions. He has climbed Mount Everest and Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts! He attributes his success to his enhanced immune system, which enabled him to stay immersed in ice for an hour and 13 minutes. That is an unbelievably real superpower!
