7 People From Around the World With Real Mutant Superpowers

They walk among us! Some even fly among us! They may even take the bus among us from time to time! Homosapiens-Superior is here, and can do things that have scientists scratching their heads.

We're carefully tracking their progress, so that one day soon we may gather them together and fight crime. Or maybe commit crimes. We haven't decided yet.

I once saw a special on Discovery about a woman who was able to core her body temperature in extreme cold. She went swimming in the Arctic, with just a swimsuit on (which, to be fair, was a one-piece). Granted, she had supervision the whole time and immediate first aid when she came out, but still, if you can even be immersed briefly in freezing water and not die or lose extremities, I'm impressed. The ability is (according to the almighty tv) genetic and tends to show up in Inuit peoples.[ 7 People From Around the World With Real Mutant Superpowers]

We never said we were superior. Just different. Besides, we've been around a very long time.

About the Blogger

Christie St. Martin

Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
