Superhuman our host, Daniel Browning Smith, the “Rubberboy” with amazing body flexibility, explores the world of everyday folk who are all above and beyond your average human being. He travels the globe and encounters Mr Liew, a man with seemingly magnetic powers, Wim Hoff, the Ice Man, and Brent Turner, who can shoot lightning from his finger tips.

But what is the explanation for these exceptional and often bizarre superior powers? Where did these people acquire their rare ‘X’ factor? Was it something they were born with, or something they developed? Or was it the consequence of an injury or a rare medical condition? And what’s the history behind these unusual traits? By tracing their origins we explore the question - can anyone become a ‘Superhuman’?
