Somewhere in Germany is a baby Superman, born in Berlin with bulging arm and leg muscles.
Not yet five, he can hold 7lbs weights with arms extended, something many adults cannot do. He has muscles twice the size of other children his age and half their body fat.
DNA testing showed why: the boy has a genetic mutation that boosts muscle growth.
The discovery, reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, marks the first documented human case of such a mutation.
Steve Rogers is our only hope.
