20 Interesting Real-Life Superheroes with Incredible Abilities

Cassie Graves, Fish Odor Woman

The metabolic system is a strange beast. When it works right, it transforms ingested nutrients into the energy we need to survive. When it doesn’t work right, well… we get people like Cassie Graves. The young singer suffers from a genetic mutation known as trimethylaminuria, which means that certain foods don’t get completely broken down in her digestive system. The residue they leave behind is then excreted through sweat, breath and pee, and it smells bad. Like rotting fish bad. And there’s nothing that Graves can do about it aside from not eat meat and leafy greens. Worst of all? She can’t smell the odor herself, so she never knows if she’s grossing people out.
