Once in a rare while I come across some extra-ordinary humans, almost like they have superpowers – in real life, who deserve a space on Superhero Profiles.
Take Lucas Murray for example, aka BATBOY, so nicknamed for being the first blind person in the US to “see” with his ears. Using the same abilities that bats use to fly at night, Lucas visualizes his surrounding by making clicking sounds with his tongue and listening for the echoes the sound makes as it bounces off objects. It’s an amazing ability that allows Lucas to move almost independently. He can even play basketball and shoot hoops!
Watch the video and be amazed. Let’s see if Batman can do this!
By the way, the character Deanne Bray’s character on HEROES, hearing-impaired Emma, was referred as possibly having an echo-location ability too.
