Watching movies, we often find couples of characters that are incredibly odd. Their oddity comes to the point till you conclude those only happen in movies. There are no such things as that in real life.

What if the oddity occurs because you just lack knowledge about it? Believe it or not, some of these roles were a type of medical condition.

Let us check out types of medical conditions your favorite characters possibly suffering from:

Cannot Feel the pain

Remember Francis Freeman, Deadpool’s enemy? In the Deadpool movie, he is a mutant who is impervious to pain. Deadpool stabbed him by a sword, and he still can walk steadily.

 

 

It seems lucky to have it. But, this is a medical condition called Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (CIPA). You might catch fire and laughing at the same time. Perhaps, you get a stab in the chest like Francis and still wandering around looking for your favorite chips at the store.

Mutations in the NTRK1 gene cause this condition. Ashley Blocker is one of the people suffering from CIPA. She didn’t cry when she was born. She used to reach her hand on the pot of boiling water just to pick a spoon slipped from her hand while stirring ramen noodles.

We’ve told so many times to be grateful for our skin tone and embrace it. Maybe today, they should add “as long as it’s not blue.” Blue is not the right skin color.

In reality, this is a disease called Stone Man Syndrome or Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). It slowly turns your muscle and tissue into bone. Unlike Ben, you cannot be a superhero with a superpower. Terrifyingly, it causes the individual to lose their ability to move, breathe, speak, and even eat.

“Experiencing trauma to your muscles- even from a fall- can cause that area to be replaced by bone, too,” stated Genetics Home Reference.

A 23-year-old woman lived in Missouri, Carli Henrotay, suffering from this condition. She is having movement difficulty. She can’t raise her arms and performing other precise movements.
