Blogpost 4: Real People With Superpowers

People believe that having superpowers in the real world is definitely not possible. They do not believe because they think that science isn't that much developed to be able to produce different people with different special abilities. They don't believe in what they don't see so they become ignorant and naive about the things surrounding them. They do not see that there is more to the world that meets the eye. There are certain individuals in the world that are different.

In my research I was able to look for an article entitled " 7 People From Around the World With Real Mutant Superpowers " By June Arteaga from the website " Cracked "
There are a lot of certain people around the world that has extraordinary abilities that, for me, can be classified as superpowers because they have abilities that cannot be seen in any average person. Who are these people? Here they are.

There is this boy with a nickname "Das Uberboy"

(This is not Das Uberboy)

His real name is being kept a secret to protect the person's privacy and security. On 1999 a boy was born in Germany, at that point the nurses and doctors knew that there was something different with the boy. The baby's muscles were twitching and it's shaped unlike any other muscles we see babies have. How did this happen? It is a genetic mutation technique that cattle farmers intentionally use in order to breed muscular cows.
All we have is this quote that is from The Washington Post despite sounding like it's from a Marvel origin: "But inasmuch as no one has ever encountered a child such as this boy or studied animals with defective myostatin genes into old age, his health and eventual strength remains unknown." It means that he is the first pewson ever recorded to have defective myostatin and we cannot assure what the future will bring him.

I researched more about the topic and I was able to stumble upon an article entitled " Super Strong Kids May Hold Genetic Secrets " By Lauren Cox from the website " abcnews " that Das Uberboy isn't the only case with a baby with defective myostatin. Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that is a member of the TGF beta protein family that inhibits muscle differentiation and growth in the process known as myogenesis. The problem with the babies is that they are always hungry for a full appetite meal and it is because of their rapid metabolism.

#2 Captain Sonar

Daredevil and Ben Underwood

Ben Underwood uses Super Echolocation in order to see things in a different kind of way. He is like Daredevil because he uses Sonar waves in order for them to see, and they're both blind.
According to the article entitled " Human Echolocation I " by Lore Thaler in the website " Journal Of Wisdom ". Bats and dolphins aren't the only mammals that use the ability to use sounds alone to identify objects and navigate unfamiliar surroundings. New research shows that blind people are also capable of using this build in mechanism. Most people rapidly click their tongue and use the echoes from the sound to determine what is around.
"He's gotten so good at it that he's now capable of Rollerblading, skateboarding, playing basketball, foosball and even video games." says the editor in cracked. It means that he is developing and he is getting better with using his echolocation.

With what I have researched I could say that everything evolves through time and It is possible that even human beings can change. Who knows what will happen in the future? Who knows what the future will bring?
