Stan Lee's Superhumans

Overview
Premiering on August 5, 2010, on History, Stan Lee's Superhumans invites audiences on a thrilling journey with comic legend Stan Lee. Accompanied by contortionist Daniel Browning Smith, known as "the most flexible man in the world," the show explores the realm of real-life superhumans showcasing individuals with astonishing mental and physical skills. While some segments feature genuine talents, others are cleverly manipulated, raising questions about authenticity. For instance, one segment features an electric drill applied to a person’s body, with the drill's rotation deceptively reversed, blurring the line between reality and illusion.
