Superhuman: Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee had many superhuman abilities.

Born in 1940 in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Bruce Lee lived a short, full, remarkable life until dying from a cerebral edema caused by Equagesic prescription medication in 1973 in Hong Kong’s Kowloon Tong.

Bruce Lee grew up in Kowloon, Hong Kong and was a young thug in a street gang called “The Tigers of Junction Street” until he was taught kung fu in 1953 by Master Yip Man.

Chuck Norris was a pallbearer at Bruce Lee’s funeral. Bruce Lee helped Chuck Norris break into the film industry.
