Overview
Stan Lee's Superhumans is a television series that debuted August 5, 2010 on History. It is hosted by comic book superhero creator Stan Lee and follows contortionist Daniel Browning Smith, "the most flexible man in the world", as he searches the globe for real-life superhumans – people with extraordinary physical or mental abilities. Many of the segments are fraudulenty manipulated and these appear side by side with other segments that are valid. For example, one segment shows a person applying an electric drill to their body[ after it is used to drill a hole in wood], except the direction of rotation of the drill is fraudulently reversed in the process.

When it comes to neck strength, John Evans is a legend. This six foot five, 24-inch neck ‘IRON MAN’ has 32 world records to prove it! Then, Daniel meets Hiro in Seattle. Using slomo cameras, motion capture and impact dynamics, we find out if Hiro Suzuki’s yoyo skills push the limits of speed and dexterity. Hiro then enters a duel with a semi-automatic handgun, to see if he really has turned the yoyo into a weapon. Next, Daniel meets professor Kevin Warwick, the world's leading expert in Cybernetics, who became the worlds first Cyborg in a ground breaking set of scientific experiments, using himself as a guinea pig, surgically inserting technological implants connected to his central nervous system.
