Probably, each of us in my childhood dreamed of possessing some superpower. These people have a dream come true.
Many of us grew up on the films about "Spider-Man" and "Superman", the boys dream of being similar to "Aquamen", and the girls to "Wonder Woman". Incredibly, but on Earth there are still a few people with superpowers. Most of them for a long time considered themselves freaks and were embarrassed until they learned to accept themselves, because their uniqueness knows no boundaries. These people shared their stories with the whole world, made a deep impression and made it clear how much the human body and brain are excellent tools, that how many do not study them, they will always be full of surprises.
1. Wim Hof - The Frozen Man.
Wim Hof is a Dutchman who can bear colossally low temperatures. You can read about Hof in the Guinness Book of Records, for example, he set a record for the duration of stay in the ice "bath" (in direct contact with the ice). The ability to do such things is helped by meditation, as well as the ability to control body temperature with the help of consciousness. Probably, this guy saves on winter clothes - what for is he to him ?!
2. Kevin Richardson - The Exorcist of Beasts.
Kevin was born in the largest city of South Africa, in Johannesburg, and since childhood had the ability to understand animals. By profession he is a zoologist-behaviorist. It is easy to take in their flocks of wild and dangerous to humans animals. Instead of the usual methods of training: intimidation of animals, a whip, he uses mutual understanding and trust. He can sleep comfortably next to a lion or sit next to a hyena. We do not recommend repeating this, attempts can be crowned with "UNSUCCESS".
3. Claudio Pinto - The most goggle-eyed man in the world.
Brazilian Claudio Pinto has an unusual ability: bulging eyeballs out of orbits by 7 millimeters. Pinto says that he has been doing this since the age of 9, and that it does not hurt at all. Tell me honestly, you also wonder: what was he doing when he first discovered this ability?
4. Radharkrishnan Velu - "The Tooth King".
Radharkrishnan Velu is a Malaysian who set the World Record by dragging a 328-ton train with his teeth. In the interview, he reports that in addition to meditative exercises, he performs exercises for the development of jaw muscles every day. This "shark" and beer can opener is not needed!
5. Daniel Browning Smith - "The Man-Elasticity".
Daniel Browning Smith is an actor, comedian and leading and part-time "man-elastic" - the most flexible of the living people on the planet, for which his name is inscribed in the Guinness Book of Records. He is the case when it is better to see once than hear a hundred times.
6. Steven Wiltshire - a man with photographic memory.
One of the tips that an experienced artist gives a beginner is to use a visual sample. But Steven Wiltshire, a British architectural artist, does not need to adhere to this rule - he only needs a glance, and he will accurately depict the desired landscape. At the age of 3, Steven was diagnosed with the Savant Syndrome (a rare condition in which individuals with a deviation have an "island of genius" - outstanding abilities in one or more areas of knowledge). For Stephen, this area is a phenomenal memory. Any artist could only envy her.
7. Jesus "Chui" Aceves - "The Wolf Man."
Jesus is the second child in his family, born with a rare abnormality of the hairline - hypertrichosis. His face is covered with hair that makes him look like a wolf-man, or, as some call him, a monkey-man. A man is married and has two daughters, one of whom inherited the same "feature". Jesus earns a living as a circus performer and a movie actor.
8. Daniel Tammet - "The genius of mathematics."
Daniel Tammet is a British scientist who is able to solve complex mathematical equations and problems in a short time. He not only decides well, but also explains the material to others. In addition, Tammet is fluent in 11 languages and created his own "manti", the grammar of which is similar to Finnish and Estonian.
9. Dean Carnaces - "Super Marathon".
Dean Carnace is a native of the United States, who races for very long distances, while feeling absolutely comfortable without sleep. He continually checks the limits of his body, for example, spending 80 hours on the treadmill. The most famous achievement of Dean is a distance of 560 km, which was overcome in 80 hours 44 minutes.
10. Isao Machia - "The Modern Samurai".

In his piggy bank, already 4 records recorded in the Guinness Book of Records, and this is not the limit - its speed is 87 beats per minute. This achievement is unlikely to be repeated. And now think, if this is a modern samurai, what were they like before ?!
