Have you ever heard of this Superman guy? Faster than a speeding bullet? Able to leap tall buildings by just flying right over them? Yeah, just about everyone has heard of Superman.
We have all tried to impersonate the superhero character in our lives, but one man in Brazil tried just too hard to be the real Superman, only to fail miserably. A comedian dressed as Superman was hit by a bus after a miscalculated stunt, in which he tried to show off his strength by halting the moving vehicle with his hand.
Newsflash
Luiz Ribeiro de Andrade, who goes by the moniker 'Superman', was struck by the vehicle in the Brazilian municipality of Barra dos Coqueiros at the weekend when he attempted to film himself pretending to stop it.
The clip which has gone viral shows the man of steel confidently standing in the middle of the road and holding a microphone as a bus comes speeding straight towards him.
But it all goes horribly wrong as Luiz is hit by the bus, before stumbling forward in surprise. Despite the failed stunt, Luiz is seen calmly walking down the road afterwards, appearing to be unscathed following the collision.
In the clip, he joked: "Now I've seen I really am made of steel."
Luiz told 5News the following day that the stunt failed as he miscalculated the stopping distance and ended up being knocked down.

He took the blame for the accident saying there was no problem with the bus brakes and thanked the "hand of God" for saving his life.
He told F5 News: "I take responsibility for everything. I went to the bus company so that the driver would not be penalised. There was no problem with the brakes. He did what he could and I acted wrong. It's a stunt I always do, but this time it almost turned into an accident, and it wasn't serious because the hand of God was there."
"I didn't feel anything with the knock. I was hit through my own fault and a miracle of God took place there. God acted at that time and protected me," he added.
