10 Freaky Things Even A Normal Person Can Do With His Body

Superman can carry a plane on his shoulders, Spider-man can scale very high buildings without any extra aid, Flash can run at an incredible speed, and you wish you had some of those superpowers too.

But guess what, you actually have some superpowers that you are not aware of. No, not because you are actually an alien from another planet, or because you got exposed to something weird. Simply because the human body has some wonders up its sleeve.

Here are 10 freakishly awesome things you didn’t know your body is capable of doing.
