Movies in Real Life Part I

X-Men

I've decided to start a new feature on this blog, one in which I bring to you true stories that resemble the fictional ones straight outta Hollywood. We'll start with the Superboy. Some of you may have heard about this superstrong tyke a few years ago when it was first reported.

To give you a basic overview, the story is this: Somewhere in Germany, a baby was born with accelerated muscle growth. A genetic mutation has given this child fully formed muscles and the ability to hold weights over 5 lbs with his arms extended.

You read that right: genetic mutation. Just like the X-Men. Could we soon see a rise in other mutant births? Telepaths perhaps? Kids who can shoot frikkin' laser beams from their eyes? Someone who controls the weather? Or maybe someone who has X-Ray vision?

Time will tell. Here's to hoping this kid grows up to be one of the good guys.
