Stan Lee's Superhumans
Host Daniel Browning Smith
Daniel Browning Smith discovered his extreme flexibility at the age of four. While roughhousing with his siblings in Meridian, Mississippi, he jumped off a bunk bed and landed in a split. From that moment on, he developed a fascination with contortionism and resolved to become the greatest contortionist the world has ever seen.
Daniel went on to tour with a traveling sideshow and train with Master Lu Yi in the ancient art of Chinese acrobatics. He now holds the Guinness World Record for most flexible man, as well as six other world records for his flexibility.
Daniel can do almost anything with his body, from dislocating both his arms and legs to rotating his torso 180 degrees.
