10: Orlando Serrell
Here is a rather surprising story about a young boy who had some real sense knocked into him, literally! This happened back in 1979 when Orlando Serrell was playing baseball. Everything was going fine until a ball smacked him right in the side of his head. Of course, he had not been wearing a helmet and so the ball did some serious damage to the left side of his noggin.

9: Franco Magnani
Let me introduce you to a fascinating individual. Mr. Franco Magnani was an Italian immigrant living in San Francisco back in the 1960s. Up until the 60s, he had been a perfectly normal person with nothing wrong and no particular skills when it came to photorealism or memory. He was just an average guy.

8: Jim Carollo
Here we have a man whose entire life changed at the age of 14 years old when he was the victim of a terrifying car accident. In the car accident, Jim’s mother was killed and he himself fell into a deep coma. The car accident resulted in extensive brain injuries, and he was injured to such a shocking degree that the doctors never thought he would live for more than a few weeks.

7: Tony Cicoria
Tony Cicoria was 42 years old, a former college player, and a well-respected orthopedic surgeon in upstate New York back in 1994. In that same year he was at a family gathering on a lazy afternoon. It was pleasant, there were a few clouds in the distance, and it looked like it was going to rain. Tommy went to make a phone call at a nearby pay phone.

6: Derek Amato
This story is relatively new. In fact, it is pretty similar to the story of Tony, but with a bit of a twist. In 2006, Derek Amato had been living in Denver, Colorado. One day, for whatever reason , Derek decided to dive into a pool. Well, the pool was a bit too shallow and he clanked his head on the bottom.

5: Tommy McHugh
This is one of the most shocking turn of events that I have ever come across. Tommy McHugh never cared for art in his entire life. He had no interest in paintings, he had no interest in poetry, and he had no interest in any kind of artistic expression. In fact, Tommy, who comes from The United Kingdom, was something of a troubled youth.

4: Liam Hoekstra
Meet the boy who will make you ashamed of your current body shape. Liam Hoekstra at only 11 years old had the body of an Olympic athlete. This kid had legitimate super strength. He had bigger muscles than most grown boxers. I am talking huge!

3: Jon Sarkin
Here we have yet another story of a man who suffered a terrible brain injury only to be gifted incredible powers. According to a report by The Guardian, Jon Sarkin had been practicing as a chiropractor, 35 years old and perfectly healthy, when he suffered an enormous stroke. It came on suddenly and devastated Jon’s mind.

2: Javier Botet
Meet one of Hollywood’s only real-life superpowered humans. His name is Javier Botet and he hails from just north of Madrid, in Spain. You may recognize this Spaniard from such movies as “Mama” and “Slender Man,” and he even had a cameo in Game of Thrones. Javier Botet is one of the most popular creature actors in the business, but it is not just because of a love for cinema or an inherent skill in acting.

1: Jason Padget
There appears to be no shortage these days of people who had accidents and then turned into math geniuses. However, Jason Padgett is a little different than the rest. The man, who originally is from Alaska but had been living in Washington, was not born with a love for math.
