7 Illnesses That Are Clearly Superpowers In Disguise

6. Myostatin-Related Muscle Hypertrophy - Gives You Super Strength

Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is a rare condition that results from a mutation in the MSTN gene. This is the gene that forms myostatin, which restrains muscle growth. This disease is characteristic of a problem with the production of myostatin, which results in the body having double its normal muscle mass and almost no body fat.

Interestingly, knowledge of the disease is only starting to develop. There are very few known cases in the world, so the prevalence is still a mystery. This is mostly because there are no known health problems associated with the condition. Of the people who do have it, their intellect is normal, and there are no signs of any detrimental side effects. It's important to note, however, that this is subject to change as more cases of the disease come to light. So unless you hate looking like a bodybuilder, the disease is mostly just a superpower. In most cases, the mutation appears to be inherited, so your chances of contracting it are pretty high if one of your parents have it. Otherwise, you may have to settle for protein powder and a gym membership if you want to bulk up.
