A bright spark from China has discovered he can conduct powerful electrical currents through his body without suffering pain or injury.
Ma Xiangang found his powers when he accidentally touched live cables carrying 220 volts during an attempt to fix his household wiring.
He claims that he is now addicted to feeling electricity coursing through his body, saying it makes him feel "energetic".
Scientific investigations of this real-life X-Man have revealed the secret may lie in his hands. The skin of his hands is much rougher and drier than others, functioning like a pair of insulated gloves.
Scientists say his tough skin prevents most of the electricity from entering Ma's body. The actual current passing through Ma's body only contains six milliamperes, while the safety limits for ordinary people is 8-10 milliamperes.
