PEOPLE WITH SUPERPOWERS
Added on: 22nd Dec 2015
WIM HOF IS THE ICEMAN
Able to withstand extreme cold temperatures, Wim Hof is the real life
Iceman. Hof holds twenty-one Guinness World Records including a
world record for the longest ice bath. He describes his ability to
withstand extreme cold temperatures as being able to
“turn his own thermostat up” by using his mind.
KEVIN RICHARDSON HAS THE ABILITY TO
"UNDERSTAND ANIMALS"
Also known as the “lion whisperer,” Kevin Richardson has become
a legend worldwide for being able to befriend wild animals such as
such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. The friendship is so complete
that Richardson has even been filmed walking, playing and
sleeping among these wild animals.
CLAUDIO PINTO HAS TELESCOPIC EYES
Claudio Pinto doesn’t look like a superhuman at first glance, but he
does have a special talent. He is able to pop his eyes out of their
sockets and extend them up to 7 millimetres, which is about
95% of the eyeball.
CASSIE GRAVES HAS A POTENT SCENT
Cassie Graves is a beautiful twenty-three-year-old singer from the
UK who battles a disorder that causes her sweat and breath to reek
of rotting flesh. She suffers from trimethylaminuria, also known as
fish odour syndrome, which is an extremely rare metabolic disorder
where the body can’t break down trimethylamine found in certain foods
such as meat and eggs. Not sure if that gives her any real superpowers
but it definitely would land her a role in an X-Men flick.
HAROLD WILLIAMS, SUPER LINGUISTIC "POWERS"
How many languages do you think you can learn in your lifetime.
Four, five, maybe 10. Foreign editor of The Times, Harold Williams,
was able to speak fifty-eight languages and is considered to be one
of the most accomplished Polyglot in history. He’s not the only one
with this “power” however, others include John Browning, Joseph
Caspar Messofanti and Dr. Carlos do Amaral Freire.
TIBETAN MONKS CONTROL THEIR BODY
TEMPERATURE USING THEIR MINDS
The “Garth” Monks from Tibet have the impressive ability to change
their body temperature using only their minds. They have been
recorded as changing their temperature by as much as
eight degrees Celsius.
RATHAKRISHNAN VELU HAS TEETH OF STEEL
A Malaysian man with the funny nickname “King Tooth” can pull a
seven-coach train using a steel rope clenched in his mouth, a feat
that is considered the world record for the heaviest weight pulled
with teeth. Teeth of steel or what?
DANIEL BROWNING SMITH IS THE "RUBBER BOY"
Also known as the “Rubber boy”, Daniel Browning is the host of the
History network’s Stan Lee’s Superhumans and the Guinness World
Records’ Most Flexible Man. He is a classically trained contortionist
who has used his superhuman flexibility to bring the art of
contortion to new heights.
STEPHEN WILTSHIRE, SUPER PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY
Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws and paints detailed cityscapes.
However, unlike other artists, Stephen has a particular talent for
drawing lifelike, accurate representations of cities, by only glancing at
them. Whereas a normal artist would have to look at the subject
repeatedly for prolonged times to fully capture details.
