Three People in the World Who Have "Real Superpowers": Even Scientists Can't Explain Them (4 pics)

The men in question can do things that most people can only dream of.





Daniel Browning Smith



This 45-year-old American acrobat has been called "the most flexible man in history" and is also known as "Rubber Boy".

His incredible flexibility means he holds seven Guinness World Records, including the fastest time to enter a tight straitjacket, and has performed feats such as walking his entire body through a loose tennis racket.

In this case, scientists know why Daniel has been able to do what he does because he has a condition called Ehlers-Danlos hypermobility syndrome. It causes loose joints and stretchy skin, which helps him perform incredible feats, although it has meant he has had to stop performing as the condition can cause pain and causes limbs to dislocate easily.

Ngoc Thai





This elderly Vietnamese farmer claims he hasn't slept in decades.

His family, friends, and neighbors claim they've never seen him sleep, and the man himself claims he hasn't actually slept since 1962, getting his energy from "green tea and rice wine."

During an interview with YouTuber Drew Binksy, he said he wanted to sleep but couldn't, so this "superpower" isn't really what it's cracked up to be. Despite all this, Ngoc is very productive and puts his 24-hour workday to good use. Tai assured that he feels well and has never had hallucinations.

Stephen Wiltshire



A Briton with perhaps the best memory in the world is able to look at a landscape only once to perfectly reproduce it in his art.

An incredibly talented artist, 50-year-old Stephen is able to reproduce the skylines and buildings of major cities around the world with just one glance. In particular, in 2013 he painted a panorama of London from the top of the Shard, the world's tallest tower. For a documentary about the brain, he spent five days drawing a panorama of New York City from memory, which he viewed from a helicopter for an hour.
