Has there ever been a man in history that had traits of a god?

i.e Unworldy strength, incredible feats, has done things that you personally think would qualify as inhuman?

Tarrare was a French showman and soldier, noted for his unusual eating habits. He would swallow corks, stones, live animals and a whole basket full of apples. He ate a meal intended for 15 people in a single sitting, ate live cats, snakes, lizards and puppies, and swallowed an eel whole without chewing. Despite his unusual diet, he was of normal size and appearance, and showed no signs of mental illness.

Fictionalized death story aside, his ability to calm Alexey's bleeding attacks pretty much every time was uncanny.

He would be seen stuffing himself with LITERALLY anything he could get his hands on, if he didn't have access to food.

Weren't his teeth horrible and didn't he eventually die of something to do with his stomach?

Hardly a god.

>After falling under suspicion of eating a toddler he was ejected from the hospital. He reappeared four years later in Versailles suffering from severe tuberculosis, and died shortly afterwards, following a lengthy bout of exudative diarrhoea.

>Despite his unusual diet, Tarrare was slim and of average height.[9] At the age of 17, he weighed only 100 pounds. He was described as having unusually soft fair hair and an abnormally wide mouth, in which his teeth were heavily stained and on which the lips were almost invisible. When he had not eaten, his skin would hang so loosely that he could wrap the fold of skin from his abdomen around his waist. When full, his abdomen would distend "like a huge balloon". The skin of his cheeks was wrinkled and hung loosely, and when stretched out, he could hold twelve eggs or apples in his mouth.

>His body was hot to the touch and he sweated heavily, constantly suffering from foul body odour; he was described as stinking "to such a degree that he could not be endured within the distance of twenty paces". This smell would get noticeably worse after he had eaten, his eyes and cheeks would become bloodshot, a visible vapour would rise from his body, and he would become lethargic, during which time he would belch noisily and his jaws would make swallowing motions.

>He suffered from chronic diarrhoea, which was said to be "fetid beyond all conception". Despite his large intake of food, he did not appear either to vomit excessively or to gain weight.

Pleasant
Probably just needed to chew desu

Holy shit, what have you done /his/?
I can't stop reading about Tarrare

>On another occasion Tarrare was presented with a live cat. He tore the cat's abdomen open with his teeth and drank its blood, and proceeded to eat the entire cat aside from its bones, before vomiting up its fur and skin. Following this, hospital staff offered Tarrare a variety of other animals including snakes, lizards and puppies, all of which were eaten; he also swallowed an entire eel without chewing, having first crushed its head with his teeth.
