Have you ever wondered what superpower you would like to have if given the chance? It’s a classic icebreaker question – flying, pausing time, or going invisible – but we never expect our answers to come true. However, a smattering of unique individuals across the globe have powers which seem impossible to explain.
Whether it is using sonar to work around blindness, living for 50 years on no sleep, or surviving with no food or water to the age of 91, the human race is capable of more than you might think. Let’s take a look at some of these superhumans and their extraordinary abilities.
The Girl with X-ray Eyes
Natasha Demkina claims to be the girl with X-ray eyes, saying she is able to see directly inside of bodies using a penetrative form of viewing, additional to her normal vision. Ms. Demkina, a doctor and faith-driven practitioner, has used her superhuman talent to diagnose medical conditions as well as see the effects of medicine in real time. She has claimed to have this power for the majority of her life, starting out when she was still a child.
At the age of 17, Natasha was visited by ITV’s This Morning’s doctor-in-residence Chris Steele and warned him he might have cancer. The GP had a scan after Natasha said she could see something wrong with his stomach, which revealed enlarged lymph nodes in his abdomen, which can be a sign of bowel cancer. After undergoing exhaustive medical tests, he was told there was nothing to worry about, while admitting that Natasha was partially right.
The Iceman
Wim Hof, also known as ‘The Iceman,’ has broken world records with his ability to withstand the cold for prolonged periods. His remarkable feats include climbing Mount Everest in just a pair of shorts and running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle barefoot. Wim Hof has developed a method that allows him to control his body temperature and immune system response, challenging the understanding of human physiology.
The Sleepless Man
Thai Ngoc, a Vietnamese farmer, claims to have not slept for over 50 years. Despite medical professionals’ attempts to explain his condition, no one has been able to provide a definitive reason for his prolonged wakefulness. This baffling case has puzzled scientists and researchers, shedding light on the mysteries of the human body.
The Miracle of Surviving Without Food or Water
Prahlad Jani, an Indian sadhu, reportedly lived without food or water for 80 years before passing away at the age of 91. His alleged ability to survive without sustenance has sparked curiosity and disbelief in the scientific community, prompting further investigation into the limits of human endurance.
These individuals challenge our understanding of human capabilities and raise questions about the untapped potential of the human body. While their extraordinary abilities may seem like something out of a comic book, they offer a glimpse into the boundless possibilities of human potential.
