Real Name: Ben Underwood
Superpower: Super Echolocation
That's a fancy way of saying he can "see" with sounds. Basically he's
Daredevil, minus the girlfriends who become porn stars in Mexico,
getting killed by ninjas and being Ben Affleck. So much, much better
when you think about it.
Ben was diagnosed with retinal cancer at the age of two and had his
eyes removed at three. While this can easily go into our upcoming
article "Top 7 Most Horrible Things God Can do to Children," Ben's story
takes a different turn when at five, he learns he can detect things
around him by making quick clicking noises with his tongue.
He's gotten so good at it that he's now capable of Rollerblading,
skateboarding, playing basketball, foosball and even video games.
Wait, video games? How's he doing that? Actually, we don't want to know.
All we know is that if you get this kid and a bunch of bad guys in a
completely dark room, only one of them is walking out.
Underwood died on January 19, 2009 at the age of 16, from the same cancer that took his vision.
