In the X-Men comics mutants are called Homo Superior. In real life we call people born with visible genetic disruptions sufferers of birth defects. Well tonight, for the first time in my life, I watched a program with a guy who had a severe skin condition and thought “that looks like an actual mutant.” The thing about comic book mutants is sometimes they have powers and sometimes they look strange, but it when they DO have a strange look it looks real. And tonight on TLC the so called half man half tree looked like the real damn deal! It was shocking in the way this guys hands and feet DO look like actual tree roots (that link has good images). This guy legitimately had parts of his body that did NOT look human-at all. Not even a little! I didn’t get the idea to start taking screen captures until halfway through the show, but here’s a sample of his flesh.
