Simon visits the Banten tribe in Indonesia and witness the tribe's sacred ritual as they cut and burn themselves without injury or pain. In China, he meets the performer Yang Guang He, who can pull a car along a street with just a rope attached to his eye sockets. In Los Angeles, Simon catches a performance by the legendary Zamora, 'Torture King', who pierces his body all over with sharp metal skewers. And Simon tracks down Hu Giong, the Shaolin master, they call the 'Unbreakable Monk'. Hu balances on lethally sharp spears and takes a drill to his skull, without injury. He even teaches Simon some of his super-strength tricks. Has Simon really found a true superhero?
