As well as being blessed with a 'real-life superpower', this bloke also boasts seven Guinness World Records too.
Daniel Browning Smith, better known as 'The Rubberboy', has been dubbed the most flexible person to ever walk the planet.
He can contort himself into positions you or I could only dream of - or have nightmares about, depending on where you stand on all that body bending stuff.
But how on earth does he possess the ability to dislocate his limbs, turn his torso 180 degrees, whip his legs behind his head and carry out a host of other stomach-churning stunts?

Well, Daniel has a condition called hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS), meaning he has extremely mobile joints and stretchy skin.
This is one of the most common types of the condition, according to The Ehlers–Danlos Society, who explain it is caused due to 'variants in specific genes that provide the instructions for making collagens and related proteins'.
Speaking to ABC News in 2015, Daniel said of hEDS: "It’s a collagen disorder, and it makes me very, very flexible.
"I can dislocate both arms, both legs, turn my torso 180 degrees and all kinds of crazy stuff. My ribs actually dislocate and poke out of my chest.

"I do have some muscle pain, but it’s very minor, so I’ve been very lucky," he added.
Take a look at what he can do here:
Those with hEDS often suffer from issues with their joints, skin and organs - however, like Daniel, they can also have other-worldly abilities.
And like any good superhero should, the 45-year-old from the US state of Mississippi has quite the interesting origin story.

Daniel started dabbling in contortion when he was just four-years-old, after reportedly realising he was good at it when jumping off a bunk bed with his siblings.
He bounded off the top mattress and landed in a straddle split, wowing his sister, brother and parents.
The limber lad decided to hone in on his unusual skills in his teen years and began performing on the street to show other people what he could do.
And when he turned 17, Daniel ran away to join the circus to kickstart his career as a contortionist - going on to train under Master Lu Yi at the San Francisco School of Circus Arts.
"I joined a circus when I was 17, and I’ve travelled the entire world," the contortionist smiled. "It’s just been absolutely phenomenal."

I told you it was quite the origin story.
But The Rubberboy's adult life got even crazier than that - as he ended up joining comic book legend Stan Lee to find fellow 'superhumans' around the world in 2010.
The pair teamed up for the documentary series Stan Lee's Superhumans, which saw the 'most flexible man in the world' meet others who also possess extraordinary abilities.
Daniel was the only man for the job, really, considering he will be remembered in the history books as the most bendy bloke ever.

His incredible movements have earned him a staggering seven Guinness World Records.
Daniel holds the record for the fastest time to enter a locked straitjacket, and he's also performed stunts such as passing his whole body through an unstrung tennis racket.
In another daring feat which earned him a spot in the Guinness World Records in 1999, he crammed himself inside a tiny box.
He was crowned as the 'Most Flexible Man' in 2007, too, a title which has earned him a host of gigs as a stuntman in films.
However, his superpower has also proved to be his Achilles' heel, as Daniel had to stop performing due to the pain his hEDS symptoms left him in.
