** Alek could be considered as this technically. He wasn't born with super strength, he went through enough training and exercises to become as strong as he is. But he is still no longer normal, so it's debatable.

** Jack's surname, Stevens, is more than likely a shout-out to [[Series/CrocodileHunter Steve Irwin]] since he probably inspired Jack's character.
