Has anyone ever gained superpowers in real life after an accident?

Mateo Elijah

Jason Padgett

He was a party guy who hated school and got really bad grades. One day, two men savagely attacked him and robbed Jason outside a bar, leaving him with a severe concussion.

This damage turned him into a math genius and made him learn fractal geometry, which he had never learned before. He then became a renowned mathematician.


Derek Amato

At 39, he hit his head after diving into a pool. He was diagnosed with a concussion and 35% hearing loss. After that Derek started seeing black and white keys on his head and out of nowhere started playing the piano like an expert and eventually became a composer.

Ben McMahon

He was in a car accident in 2015 and was in a coma for a week. When he woke up, he spoke perfect Chinese, even though he had only learned the basics in childhood.

Tony Cicero

He was struck by lightning while making a call in a phone booth. Within days, he became addicted to music, which wasn’t the case before. After experimenting with the piano, he became a musical artist who composes his own music.

I may not call them superpowers, but they are definitely powers for the uninitiated.
