Electro Man

Daniel Browning Smith reist in die indische Hafenstadt Kollam, wo er Raj Mohan Nair trifft, der gegen Stromschläge immun ist. Er kann elektrische Spannung durch seinen Körper leiten und so Haushaltsgeräte oder eine Kochplatte mit Strom versorgen. Einen normalen Menschen würde dieses Experiment auf der Stelle töten.

Daniel Browning Smith, a man with Superhuman flexibility, travels to India to investigate a local legend that a man has developed immunity to electric current and can let it pass through his body, unharmed. Can anyone really be immune to electrocution? Daniel next meets Scott Flansburg, dubbed the "Human Calculator." Scott can complex arithmetic (even square and cube roots) all in his head, faster than anyone on earth. Does his brain work in an entirely new way? Totally blind from birth, Juan Ruiz apparently visualizes the world using the same form of sonar used by bats and dolphins called echolocation. Juan demonstrates his incredible ability to Daniel by navigating around a complex course using only the echoes of his tongue clicks to guide him. Dennis Rogers is only 5ft 6", but is pound for pound the strongest man in the world. He demonstrates his sheer strength bending hammers and horseshoes at will.

Daniel rend visite à Rajmohan Nair de Kollam en Inde, qui peut supporter d'être choqué par un courant 30 fois supérieur à ce qui peut tuer un homme ordinaire; Scott Flansburg de San Diego, un "calculateur humain» qui peut effectuer des opérations arithmétiques complexes mentalement; Juan Ruiz de Los Angeles, un homme aveugle qui peut voir le monde autour de lui comme les chauve-souris; et Dennis Rogers de Houston, «l'homme le plus fort du monde».
