A schoolboy who was almost killed when he was knocked out by a massive electrical shock from a loose wire on a street lamp claims he now has superpowers like those of Marvel’s Magneto. Nikolai Kryaglyachenko, 12, had been walking home after school when he lent briefly against the lamppost that was live from a faulty wire, and was blasted across the pavement.

Once I even attracted a glass – it just moved towards me.” Nikolai added that he has now decided instead of a fireman he wants to be a superhero when he is older, saying that he would want to do something that helped people, and the job would certainly fulfil that role. He has also found himself one of the most popular boys at school with many of his classmates asking him to demonstrate his superpowers, and Nikolai even claims that he seems to be able to share his power.
