      it’s take some pretty fast evolution for that kind of mutation to happen!

      But we could have a real-life Ironman if someone invested lots of money…..

      Well that depends on what you consider to be super. There are plenty of humans that are well above average at some things, look out for lots of them in the 2012 olympics! Watching someone like Usain Bolt running the 100m you have to think – WOW!

      Superheroes in the movies set peoples expectations a bit high, but if you check out some videos of people doing extreme sports then some of that stuff is pretty super too! For example go look at some freerunning or wingsuit flying videos on youtube. Some crazy crazy stuff is possible!
