Feats and acts of superhuman abilities are usually best left in the imagination of the movies; dreams of having superpowers are always best left as dreams and to be watched on TV. But in truth, we humans are far more capable than we seem.
For years, we have heard and tried hard not to believe stories of super-human powers. There have been news stories of mothers lifting cars to save their children, of people pulling trucks with their teeth, of a man who ate an entire plane!
Super powers are among us, maybe not the types we wish we had, but they are there, which makes these videos both believable and unbelievable.

Being super isn’t just a dream, and not a special talent anymore. Vodafone’s newest PR stunt has captured many online viewers, reaching over 14 million online users and over 7 million in offline coverage.
