As many JREF Londoners will have undoubtably seen on the way into work today, there is a story about a young lad who is magnetic! Or so he says...

When he takes off his shirt the youngster is able to stick metallic objects such as spoons, mobile phones and even frying pans to his body.

In total, his family says, he can carry up to 25kg of metal stuck to his torso.

And that isn't the end to Ivan's unusual talents.

According to his family Ivan has also used his 'healing' hands to alleviate his grandfather's stomach pains and take away the pain of a neighbour who hurt his leg in a tractor accident.

Magnetic Croatian Boy was at the back of the queue when superhero sidekick names were being handed out, wasn't he?
 
I thought it was an international law that people making these claims had to say, "I can't wear electronic watches - my powers destroy them."

On a more serious note, I am saddened to think that we live in 2011 and people are still falling for that.
 
I love the kid's expression; it's like he's a comic-book super-villian threatening the hero with his awesome stickiness.
 
I just want to know, why are they all at angles from vertical, with the heavy part at the top and the bend curving into his body, and why don't we have a photo of him with a frying pan stuck to him?
 
I was pretty sticky as a kid too. I never really thought of it as a super-power...
 
Actually, this superpower is sort of achievable if you're willing to have magnets implanted into your body (or at least willing to swallow a few). I doubt it would be very healthy though. And really, why the hell bother? It certainly wouldn't be of much use in a combat zone, unless for some reason you actually want fast-moving metal objects to be more attracted to you than they already are.

Do NOT swallow magnets - especially more than one magnet...

To take the edge off one joke i am making two...

1) I see you have a picture of me at that age, weird.

2) Fat kid is sticky, film at ******* 11.

As a kid who looked remarkably like that, i can say, yes you get sticky as heck, as a matter of fact if your a smart lil fat kid you can make money and snacks off of kids by use of your stickyness.

Which perpetuates the cycle of fatness and stickyness i guess.
 
That seems more like a super liability than a super power. Making sharp, heavy stuff fly towards you seems like a bad thing. The super power that kid needs is the ability to run his ass around the block a couple times.
 
Having sharp, heavy stuff flying towards him should provide a great insentive to run.

I picture god, on a fluffy white cloud with an absolutely " Your ******* kidding me ." look on his face.

" Your telling me, i make metal stuff fly at this kid, and still he doesn't get the hint he needs to do a bit of running? ******* humanity!"
 
"Screw it! I'm inventing a new type of inverse magnetism that'll make cheeseburgers and Coke fly away from him."

Maybe if he made a bicycle fly towards him he'd get the hint.
