Top- 10 people of the world with real life super powers by Jayses(m): 1:17pm On Jan 01, 2014
Superpowers are something every boy has
thought about and many men still think about.
Having the brain to create the Iron Man machine
like Tony Stark, having superhuman strength like
the Hulk or being able to fly like Superman are all
powers many of us dream of having. Well as it
turns out, there are some people who actually do
have such powers…
Top 10 – People of the World With Real Life
Superpowers...................


10 – Mister Eat it all – France
Superpower : Can eat (and surely crap)
anything!

Michael Lotito was born in 1950 and is a French
entertainer. He is known as ‘Monsier Mangetout’
which means ‘Mister Eat-it-All’. He possesses a
stomach and intestine with walls twice the
thickness of a normal human and his digestive
acids are extremely powerful. This allows him to
digest the most inedible items you could imagine.
He has eaten bicycles, glass, rubber, television
sets as well as holding the Guiness World Record
for eating a plane (which took 2 years) by simply
cutting the items up and consuming them with
oil and water.
Unless you were stuck in a plane wreck, Mister
Eat-it-All is probably the last super hero you’d call
upon. Nonetheless, he is still pretty impressive to
watch on Youtube.

9. Rain Man – USA
Superpower: Remembers everything
Kim Peek died in 2009, but by this time he had
perfectly memorized 12,000 books. He had
become so good at memorizing information that
he could read two pages at a time using one eye
for each page. He is said to have had the best
example of an eidetic memory/photographic
memory and he could recall 98% of everything
that he ever experienced in perfect detail.
His story was the inspiration for the movie Rain
Man, although he believed using his abilities for
things such as gambling to be “unethical”.
Having him as your friend would probably be
more of a nuisance than a benefit, although he’d
be pretty good at remember travel itineraries,
directions, maps, phone numbers and shopping
lists.
Though if the world was in total anarchy, calling
upon Kim Peek wouldn’t benefit anyone as the
only thing he could be capable of, would be
remembering it happen.

8. The Incredible Insomniac – Vietnam
Superpower : Staying awake… forever
Although there are a handful of people from
around the world who don’t sleep, Ngoc Thai is
probably the best at it. At the age of 31 Ngoc
Thai came down with a severe fever and has not
slept since. That means he hasn’t slept since the
1970′s. His condition does not affect his physical
nor mental health and doctors say he is
completely healthy besides a slightly damaged
liver. No matter how many sleeping pills he takes
nothing can put him down, not even the two
bags of rice weighing 49kg each that he carries
to his farm every day.
It’s almost like living two lives at once…

7. Aquaman – New Zealand
Superpower : Breathes underwater (Well he
might as well be doing..)Kiwi Dave Mullins much like many of the others, holds Guinness World Records for what he is capable of. He not only
has records for amount of time spent under
water, but also total distance travelled. Being able
to swim under water for 4 minutes and 2 seconds
and travel as far as 244 meters would really take
some doing, and that is what he does with just
one breathe. In 2008, he also set a record for
getting to 108 meters in depth without any
oxygen or swimming equipment. Forget Iron Man,
this guy is Iron Lung, although it doesn’t have
the same ring to it.

6. X-Ray Girl – Russia
Superpower : X-Ray vision
Her look is said to be piercing..
At age 10, Natasha Demkina developed the ability
to detect the location and condition of her
mother’s organs using only her eyes. Since then
she has successfully detected cysts, ulcers and
cancers in those who showed up at her door
asking for health checks. When taken for a check-
up at the hospital, Natasha even told the doctor
about the scars on his body he’d attained from a
car accident, that no one else could see at the
time. Pretty impressive.

5. Das Uberboy – Germany
Superpower : Superhuman strength and
incredibly stacked from birth
Liam Hoekstra is just as stacked aged 3 and
suffers/benefits from a similar genetic disorder
that makes his dad look like his son as well!
In 1999, history was made when a baby popped
out with more muscles than his dad. Perhaps this
particular super power should feature higher up
in the list, but at such a young age it’s unclear
what ‘Das Uberboy’ is going to be capable of in
the future. Perhaps it will all wilt away like a 6
month gym stint followed by the purchase of an
X-box, or perhaps he’ll grow up into the real Hulk
we all secretly hope to see. However, at the age of
4, this young lad from Germany has 6 times the
strength of the average child his age.
Unfortunately for us his identity has been kept a
secret (could be a cover for X-Men involvement)

4. Battery Man – SerbiaSuperpower :Electricity conduction
Slavisa Pajkic has set a number of world records
for various astonishing abilities he seems to
possess. He first realised he was gifted when he
was unable to feel an electric current running
through a live fence (which for some reason he
touched). Regardless, he can cook sausages
using only his hands, conduct 20,000 volts
through his body without frying and can heat a
cup of water to 97 degrees Celsius in well under
two minutes.
‘When there is a sudden power failure, my folks
do not have to worry. My house is always shining.
I can be an insulator, conductor, accumulator
and heater…” said Slavisa. His next goal is to
conduct one million volts through his body and
says “I will try to charge on it and become a
wireless laser man”
If you see Slavisa on the streets make sure to
greet him, but not to shake his hand.

3. Daredevil – USA
Superpower : Uses sonar
Ben Underwood passed away in 2009 aged 16,
but his story is almost unbelievable. Ben became
blind as a toddler after suffering from cancer of
the eyes. Where most may have succumbed to a
life of guidance, Ben took it upon himself to
communicate like a dolphin. Over the years as a
child he developed the ability to use
‘echolocation’ to get about. It’s the same way
dolphins use sonar under water to locate objects
and food. Ben clicks his tongue and with this can
locate everything in his immediate vicinity. He
can ride a bike, play football and was practicing
martial arts using every sense other than sight.
His story is pretty inspirational for those with
disabilities or those without and shows just what
the human body is capable of doing given
enough determination.

2. The ‘Garth’ Monks – Tibet
Superpower : Altering body temperatures
using only the mind
Garth, a D.C comics superhero was capable of
altering the heat of the body using only his mind,
among other things. Although a pretty ridiculous
power, there are a group of Tibetan monks who
have the ability to do just that! They have been
recorded to raise the temperature of their skin by
up to 8 degrees Celsius while their core
temperature remains exactly the same.
They first came to light in the 1970′s during a
visit to Havard University by the Dalai Lama. The
following years resulted in remote testing in the
Himalayas of the monks. The ultimate test was
making the monks sleep out on a snowy ledge in
the mountains. With an altitude of 15,000ft and a
temperature of -17 degrees Celsius, not only did
the monks not freeze to death, they supposedly
didn’t even shiver in their little monk garments.
This is more than can be said for the shivering
and shaking camera men filming them (who were
wrapped up in blankets all night).
By slowing the blood flow to the brain they will
provide it with less oxygen, thus allowing them to
weather all kinds of intense atmospheric
conditions. Watch out for the next Planet Earth
series where Tibetan monks are sent into space
without any space suits or equipment.

1. A Jedi in the Matrix- Japan
Superpower: Superhuman reflexes
Isao Machii has an ability to process things at a
completely different sensory level. So rather than
see a bullet moving through the air, for example,
he can anticipate where it is at that precise
moment. Using his Katana he chops things out of
the air for people’s entertainment. He can also be
found on Youtube plucking airsoft pellets from the
air with his sword.
His ability doesn’t allow him to see things before
they happen, but allows him to anticipate where
something will be at that exact moment in time
which makes him a cross between Luke
Skywalker and Neo.

[size=24pt]Dean Karnazes Can Run Forever[/size]

Dean Karnazes is an American long-distance runner capable of inhuman feats of endurance, such running 50 marathons in each of the 50 states ... in 50 consecutive days. Which he totally goddamned did. He's run a marathon on every continent twice over and run 350 miles nonstop over three sleepless nights.

Ultramarathonman


Back in 2007, Dean attempted to run from New York City to San Francisco, but had to stop in St. Louis, ravaged by disappointment. That is to say, this man has such a level of endurance that running 1,000 miles is disappointing to him. Karnazes has such an impressive list of achievements that when Time magazine listed him as one of their 100 most influential people of 2007, stopping his cross-continental run short was pretty much the only negative thing they could come up with. Then Karnazes completed the very same run in 2010 in 75 days and shut Time right the hell up.


[size=24pt]Wim Hof Is Cold-Proof[/size]



Wim Hof is a Dutch-born man with the incredible ability of being invulnerable to cold, which he has proven by swimming in ice cold water and being buried completely in ice. You might scoff at this, because you saw David Blaine do the same thing. OK, how about this: He climbed up Mount Everest in a goddamned pair of goddamned shorts.


He has been dubbed "Iceman," because the Dutch have no imagination. Hof's ability is so great that even when submerged in freezing water that would pretty much kill a normal human in a few minutes, his body temperature barely drops, and when he climbed Everest (in bicycle shorts, we really can't stress that enough), he said it was easy.
