Is this kid a real life "Super Hero?"

I found this article while flipping through reddit.com. This little boy has super human strength and is only 22 months old.

Is this the rise of "mutants" like X-Men?

isnt there another thread about this? German Super Baby? Man that thread name is funny

Good for that kid - I'm gonna get worried when parents are able to select thease 'defective' genes in their own unborn 'designer' kids. If it is possable, it will be subject to the moral considerations the devoloped world has come to expect, but some will get round that simply by going to a country with different attititudes.

In 100 years will the military / police recruit only super kids?

What about 'terriost' or other political / extreamist factions.

I hope this is one thing that remains a mystery!

Of course it's real. You just don't know me.

That little kid sure is cute! Awwwww.

I hope he doesn't end up a guinea pig for the scientists.

Liam has a rare genetic condition called myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy, or muscle enlargement. The condition promotes above-normal growth of the skeletal muscles; it doesn't affect the heart and has no known negative side effects, according to experts.

crap! if they could only put it in pill form and bottle it...

The product of a troubled mother who gave him up for adoption at birth, Liam was born with a suite of medical problems.

The fact that Liam was adopted by a physician assistant's family hundreds of miles from his birthplace

he could be a supersoldier experiment that got away.

I bet he will be banned from playing sports as he grows up. Or Vince McMahon is going to try to get him into a wrestling school.

Yes, it can. I saw something similar on a show about bodybuilders and steroids, and you can get that kind of shape and (absurdly grotesque) musclature with steroid use.

Since this pic source here is Pravda, I think it's photoshop tweaked:

if you look at his biceps it looks to be photoshopped. imo

Its true that through steroid enhancement, you can get pretty gross looking, but that picture has some pretty obvious things working against it. There is no way his ligaments would support his legs or his shoulders.

Now about the kid.. I saw a kid like this a couple years ago, except he got that way through actually working out all the time. At least this little guy can't help his advantageous condition.

So could this new age be the full circle gentic experiements as in the days of Noah where humans and animals alike were being corrupted by Angels?

the Bible says, "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be" (II Cor. 12:10).

lol the big guy is photoshopped... good job though lol

I'm a transhumanist I want the genetic injections, don't at all see what's wrong with them...

In fact I think it's possible via thought patterns to actually turn on and turn of various genes with concious intent and that it often happens in nature in various positive and negative responses to stress

The time will come as they can sequence the genome fast enough and resample people through a lifetime they will prove that this is true, mind affects the body even down to a genetic level, your genome isn't exactly the same through your whole lifetime...
