In the near future we may well have genetically modified humans with muscle strength that we would call superhuman.

My own superpower is the ability to piss 8ft up a wall. Involves a bit of sharting, but success always demands sacrifice.

I think women are the only ones who have super human powers. To be able to push a new born baby out of their vagina is amazing

Isn't there some kid in Asia that can see in the dark ?
"Doctors who examined little Nong Youhui said he was born with a rare condition known as luekodermia, which leaves his eyes exposed to sunlight damage, but also allow him to see clearly in the dark."
That would be pretty cool if we all had that ability...I say lets chop him up and see how he does it..

It's a well known secret amongst women folk that that is actually boll!x, the storks are trained to land on the hospital roof and they pull the baby from behind a curtain, they just tell men they do it to a) have the one-up on the alpha males and b) have excuse for the belly they grew for 9 months. We're only seeing it on TV now since special effects have caught up enough to make it look real. Why else do you think it's called "One Born Every Minute" - Think about it people! :cool:

I am a masterpiece of evolution. Being human is good enough for me

6 people with so called super human powers

#6. Ma Xiangang Is Impervious to Electric Shock

As with most superpower discoveries, Xiangang found his by acting like a braying jackass. One day when his television quit working, he went to go monkey with the fuse box to try to get it to come back on, accidentally touching a live wire in the process. Normally this story would end with people standing around a pine box and telling their favorite Ma Xiangang stories, but instead of white hot electric death, Xiangang felt nothing at all. Rather than praise his good fortune and call an electrician, he decided to touch the wires again. You know, just to check.

CRI English.com
"I figured I'd either die or get superpowers. It was pretty much 50-50."

Even more amazing is that even when touching live wires with hundreds of volts coursing through them (enough to put a horse on its ass), he feels no pain at all. In fact, Xiangang claims it makes him feel energetic, which is almost certainly him just screwing with us. We're also pretty sure he's lying when he claims he can give diathermic massages (deep tissue massages done with an electromagnet) using only his hands.

#5. Dean Karnazes Can Run Forever

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.

#4. Stephen Wiltshire Has a Perfect Visual Memory

Stephen Wiltshire can look at a city once and draw it from memory. So can we, big deal. The thing is, Wiltshire's drawing will actually look like the city, with every single building in its exact place and perfectly sized in proportion to real life. Buildings, windows, arches, doorways -- almost every detail is precisely correct in size and placement. Once again, he does this from memory. We, on the other hand, searched the Internet Movie Database five times in one hour because we kept forgetting Ray Winstone's name.

Wiltshire has been drawing his entire life. His first words were "paper" and "pen" (which really throws his folks' parenting skills into question, if you think about it), and he's been traveling the world for 25 years on a continuing quest to draw different cities and landmarks, like if Caine from Kung Fu and Bob Ross collided in a time tunnel.

For instance, Wiltshire took a brief helicopter ride around New York City and produced this drawing afterward, purely from memory:

$5 to the first person who spots where he hid the dick.

And he doesn't just remember these landscapes long enough to do the drawing. He retains them, possibly forever.

#3. Kim Peek Remembers Everything

By the time Kim Peek passed away in 2009, he had perfectly memorized 12,000 books, simultaneously making him both the best and the worst person to be stuck next to on a bus.

Dmadeo
"Anyone up for a stirring monotone recitation of Finnegan's Wake?"

One reason he was able to put away so many books is that he could read them two pages at once, one page with each eye, because apparently that's something you can do. It is claimed Peek had an eidetic memory, or photographic memory, something that people aren't even sure actually exists. However, if it does exist, Peek is probably the best case for it, reportedly being able to recall 98 percent of everything he ever experienced in perfect detail. To compare, most of us can't recall 98 percent of the previous goddamned sentence.

Peek's story was also the inspiration for the film Rain Man. However, when someone asked Peek to read a book on gambling (which would have taken him about 30 minutes), he told them that using his powers for gambling would be "unethical."

#2. Wim Hof Is Cold-Proof

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.

Tejiendo el Mundo
His testicles have retracted up behind his eyelids at this point.

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.

#1. Isao Machii Lives in the Matrix

Isao Machii is a Japanese man with superhuman reflexes, which he stereotypically uses to do all sorts of amazing tricks with a katana, including peeling an apple and cutting an Airsoft pellet in half in midair.



Gigazine
JAPAAAAAAAAN!

The following video is from a show that is very, very Japanese, but it showcases many of Machii's abilities quite well:

Here's the uncanny thing to consider -- Airsoft pellets travel at roughly 160 feet per second. That's too fast for the human eye to even register, let alone pinpoint in order to bisect with a goddamn sword.
