Humans with unbelievable powers

1. Magnetic Man

Liew Thon Lin

Meet 78-year-old retired Malaysian contractor Liew Thon Lin, who is also the Human Magnet in real life.

I can tell you that the image above is genuine, unmodified, and simply stunning. Mr. Liew possesses a remarkable talent for drawing metal items onto his body and making them adhere there. Like Magneto from the X-Men, Liew can cause metal items to adhere to his skin in a similar way to how metal adheres to a powerful magnet.

Check out the following image if you still believe that Magneto's ability to control electromagnetic fields and draw tanks and aircraft makes him more powerful. He pulls the automobile along the driveway for a full twenty metres by hooking an iron chain from the car to an iron plate fastened to his stomach.

Liew also gave his gift to his grandchildren, who are already displaying his special talents. Even more amazing is that Malaysia's University of Technology scientists investigated his case and discovered that his body did not display any aberrant magnetic fields, proving that his abilities were not magnetic.

When the scientists realised that his powers were in fact real, they continued to research him,only to learn that his skin problems might be what draws others to him. The researchers discovered that his skin had exceptionally high levels of friction, which they think may be able to provide a unique suction effect that could account for why metals adhere to his body.

2. Spdier Man

Alain Robert

Alain Robert, known as the "French Spiderman," is regarded as one of the best climbers in the world. He is renowned for his feats of free solo climbs up buildings without the aid of ropes or safety equipment. He simply has a bag of chalk dust as "equipment" to use. Over 160 skyscrapers have been scaled by Robert, including the Lloyd's building in London, the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Robert, who had scaled the Salesforce Tower in London, was detained in October 2018. Without any safety gear, he scaled the 202-meter (662-foot) tower while a crowd gathered below to see him. Despite successfully reaching the top, he was quickly detained "on suspicion of causing public nuisance."

Following a court hearing after the stunt, which only took around 45 minutes to complete, Robert was banned from climbing any building in the UK, which seems a shame. But, then again, the world is full of friendly neighborhoods with tall buildings.

3. The Flash

Karnazes

Dean Karnazes is an endless runner. He is one of the world's most extraordinary endurance athletes. Over the course of three days, he once ran nonstop for 563 kilometres (350 mi). He ran nonstop all the way to the South Pole and through Death Valley. Dean Karnazes stands out even among ultra-endurance competitors.

The lactate threshold of the body is what most runners are constrained by. As a byproduct of the body's breakdown of glucose to provide energy, lactate is created. The body can no longer convert lactate rapidly enough once you approach your lactate threshold, which causes an acid buildup in the muscles and the burning agony that runners refer to as "hitting the wall."Running above your lactate threshold will cause muscle exhaustion, shortness of breath, and a racing heart before you eventually give out in a sweaty, gasping heap.

Because Dean Karnazes lacks a lactate threshold, he can theoretically continue running indefinitely.

Even during runs longer than 160 kilometres (100 miles), Karnazes has never had a cramp or muscle discomfort. He can only be stopped by his need for sleep, and he has even once engaged in "sleep running," when he was able to continue going even while dozing off.

4. Monsieur Mangetout (Eat Metal, Glass)

Michel Lotito

Sometimes, life can be unjust. We all have our strengths, but some simply don't get the recognition they merit. Exceptional performers, competitors, and authors are hailed as heroes, but what about Michel Lotito? He ate an aeroplane, dammit it!

According to folklore, the young Lotito's first incident of strange eating occurred when a glass he was drinking from broke, and he started chewing the pieces. Nobody really knows why this kind of behaviour was encouraged, but doctors and gastroenterologists immediately examined and evaluated the young man. They concluded that his talent was exceptional and attributed it to a disorder known as pica. Michel developed a taste for peculiar, unappetizing foods as a result.Fortunately for him, specialists quickly discovered that he had a remarkably durable digestive system, with a stomach lining and intestines that were incredibly thick. He was able to "safely" eat anything as a result. And thus began Monsieur Mangetout's (Mr. Eat-all) amazing career.

Even though the French comedian could consume a seemingly endless variety of foods, he still had to exercise extreme caution. His method involved breaking down metal objects into smaller bits and lubricating his throat with mineral oil to make them simpler for his body to handle. He would regularly consume two pounds of metal each day in this manner!

5. Ice Man

Wim Hof acquired his superpowers by accident, just like any good superhero should. When he was 17, he had a strong impulse to leap into a frozen canal while he was in his hometown of Amsterdam. And he did. He soon realised that he possesses superhuman resistance to the cold, and as a result, he has broken 26 world records.

He made an attempt to conquer Everest while wearing shorts. Despite escaping the Death Zone unscathed, he was compelled to turn around due to a foot injury rather than the heat. Hof has broken his own record for submerging himself in ice four times and has done barefoot marathons in the snow.

Researchers investigating Wim Hof's remarkable abilities have found that he can override the brain's stress responses through breathing and meditation techniques. When he is exposed to extreme cold, his brain releases opioids and cannabinoids into his body, which suppress the signals that register cold and pain. It is not yet clear how this breathing affects other physical and biological processes, such as Hof's superhuman ability to resist freezing damage, which should not be affected by his breathing technique.
