Boy in Serbia claimed to be magnetic

Superhero in the making?

"To prove their claim, the family paraded the boy in front of an camera crew, with a variety of objects stuck to his chest." LOL! If they really wanted to prove that the boy was magnetic then why the hell they didn't show a compass deflected, this is utter nonsense. "Not just metal: China plates and the TV remote control also stick to Bogdan as other members of his family look on." If he is attracting China plates then how is he magnetic. I remember a previous case in which the person claimed to be magnetic but instead he had some gland problem due to which he was secreting some sticky glue ty... [More]

There was a man I believe in China who claimed to have these same abilities and (I might be wrong on the name of this show, sorry if I have it wrong) was featured on a show called like Stan Lee's Superhumans or something like that.

UM: don't you think we might be just a tad gullible here?

This could be a genetic mutation. Maybe humans are adapting to be able to read the earths magnetic field, like birds? Just a thought

Another mutant, Hey 'Twinkle Arora is back' he can also manipulate China plate fields, Silly

it is just balanced, you notice how they only put stuff on the upper chest, his belly protrudes out and is like a base for the objects to press against, like how you can put spoon on your nose, he is not magnetic, just round and sticky.
