Supernatural Burpo

Imagine you're batman flying through the sky or Spider-man shooting webs or hulk throwing buildings or imagine you're just Colton Burpo.

Welcome to the world of super naturals.

Colton's not your average superhero but he is definitely considered supernatural. Trips to heaven and back? Yes, this seems pretty supernatural to me. He can't spin webs and he can't fly. He's not very strong.  Hello, he's eight years old.  Did you really think he lifts?  So he's not hulk or Spider-Man or even batman but he is Colton Burpo.

Colton's trip to heaven was a few years before anyone had even realized that he had gone to heaven and back. Colton would sometimes say things that a standard eight year old would say but no one ever thought anything of it. Although, a trip to Nebraska got everyone thinking.

Colton had said he sat in Jesus' lap and he left his body on earth. He mentioned things like Jesus has a rainbow horse.  He said in heaven everyone has wings expect Jesus, he just goes up and down like an elevator.  Colton said in heaven everyone is young and no one wears glasses.  Colton told his parents that during his surgery they were in the hospital lobby praying. He claimed the angels sung to him and that he had met Jesus' cousin. "He nodded, eyes bright.  'Did you know that Jesus has a cousin?  Jesus told me his cousin baptized him' (Burpo 1010)."

These were all remarks that Colton had to experience. He didn't get these ideas from someone at school and at church they didn't release this much information. This stopped everyone in their tracks because they believed Colton had actually been to heaven.  Below watch Colton and his parents live with the story on the Today show.   

Was this Hulk's story too? At first no one knew he was extremely strong but after a while things began to leak. People soon figured out the true powers of the Incredible Hulk. Just like Colton at first no one actually knew he had been to heaven. After a while Colton leaked some information and now the whole community knows. Do all super naturals have a hidden story like Hulk and Colton? I mean after all they are related.
