1. Isao Machii

A multi-Guinness World Record holder, Machii is arguably the deftest swordsman on Earth. He owes his katana skills to an innate perceptive ability that allows him to anticipate and react to movement three times faster than the average human.

2. Joy Milne

Years before her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Milne noticed he gave off a particularly "musky" scent. She soon learned she had a sensitivity to certain compounds contained in the skin of Parkinson's patients, allowing her to literally smell the disease.

3. Wim Hof

Dubbed "The Iceman," Hof possesses the uncanny ability to withstand prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures. While he attributes this ability to a meditation technique that allows him suppress his immune responses, his genetic makeup indicates a near superhuman tolerance to the cold.

4. Michel Lotito

Also known as "Monsieur Mangetout," or "Mr. Eat-All," Lotito was renown for his ability to eat materials like metal, glass, and rubber. Compelled by the eating disorder pica, Lotito also possessed a thick stomach lining and highly acidic digestive juices that made his "diet" possible.
