Dean is famous for being able to run endlessly without getting tired. Most people can’t even come close to completing a marathon, but dean completed 50 marathons, all across America, in 50 consecutive days. He weighed 154 pounds at the start of the race and 153 pounds at the end. Dean can even run in extreme conditions, for instance he ran a marathon at the south pole, in -25 degrees Celsius. When most people repeat the same movement over and over again they build up lactic acid until it becomes to painful to continue. This never happens to Dean, which means he can just keep going, and going. Of all the people with real superpowers he’s probably the closest to the flash.

Ma Xiangang-Lightning man
Ma Xiangang has the uncanny ability to withstand electric shocks, and appear to look as if nothing has happened. For most people when they make contact with 220 volts of electricity the results can be quite serious but for him there is no danger whatsoever. Ma he was one of few people with real superpowers when his tv broke and he started fiddling around with the wires behind it. When he touched certain wires and didn’t get shocked he assumed that it wasn’t live but when he put two together they reacted and he realised that they were live, and he wondered why he wasn’t shocked by it. He’s now turned electrocuting himself into a hobby, and does on a regular basis for fun.
Hira Ratan Manek “Sun Gazer”
Manek is uses an ancient practice known as sun eating which allows him to live off of nothing but water and sun light. One of the most fascinating things about this is that it was actually confirmed by NASA, that he can live off sun light. NASA monitored him for 130 days, and in that time he consumed nothing but water and sunlight. It’s also been confirmed by doctors from India, Penn State, and Thomas Jefferson University in the US. Although many have doubted the validity of these claims and believe it to be impossible.
John Chang “Dynamo Jack”
Dynaminc Jack, is one of the most mysterious people with real superpowers. For most of his life he refused to be documented, but when a film asked him to heal one of their crew members he finally obliged. Jack was known to be a famous healer, who used a type of meditation known as Qigong to heal people. When the documentary makers filmed him healing he clearly made some sort of electricity with his bare hands, and used that to heal him. When he found out that the footage had been made public, he disappeared and his whereabouts remained completely unknown. Nobody appears to know why he disappeared or precisely how he heals.
Mike “Sharkman” Rutzen
Sharkman has the amazing ability to communicate and control sharks. He holds the record for the amount of time free diving with great white sharks without a cage. He somehow understands the behaviour and body language of sharks, and knows how to respond accordingly. Rutzen has developed techniques for dealing with sharks, and has taught them to many people. Rutzen has starred in several documentaries on sharks, and has several members of royalty freediving with great whites, including Prince Harry of England, King Abdullah II, and the Royal family of Jeddah. Sharkman spends some his time advocating for conservation of sharks.
Muscle Baby
When most babies are born they’re soft and squidgy so hospital workers were shocked when a baby was born with fully defined muscles as if he were a body builder who had been working out years, except he was a new born baby. It’s the only documented case of this ever happening. The baby had a genetic mutation that causes animals to have enourmous strength. When the baby was born he kept twitching his bodies, and doctors were completely confused, nothing like this had ever happened. After a while the twitching stopped, but the muscles remained. Eventually they discovered that the baby had unusual levels of Myostatin in fact it didn’t have any at all this, they decided, was probably the reason it was so strong.
The Godhand/Masutatsu Oyama
Out of all the people with real superpowers on this list, the Godhand is the most powerful. He has the ability to kill animals with only one hit, and even kills raging bulls in one hit. Oyama was also a Karate master and the founder of Kyokushin Karate. He used to put on live show where he would kill rampaging bulls with his bare hands, sometimes grabbing the horn and snapping it. Oyama spent years training in isolation on top of a mountain. Oyama won countless tournaments throughout his life, and even started Japan’s first full contact Karate tournament. When he was training he planted a seed, and jumped over it 100 times every day, as the seed grew he managed to jump higher and higher, until he could eventually jump over walls with ease.
