Check out this video of Colin Furze (the maniac who gave us those cool Wolverine claws) walking on the ceiling using his newly-completed, homemade Magneto boots. I question his sanity after seeing him laughing hysterically over the feat. Magneto never got that excited. This is proof that you respect a super power more if you have to earn it, rather than being born with it.
He did have the good sense to try it on a low ceiling though. That’s several small steps on the ceiling for man, one giant leap for nerdkind who have spare electromagnets at home.
Here’s some behind-the-scenes videos of how Colin made the boots and how he learned to walk in them:
Not to be mean or anything, but it would have been funny if he got stuck and had to hang there until help arrived.

Barker’s not just any dog; he belongs to Andy Storms, a Seattle
softgoods designer and outdoorsman, who loves to hike and camp with his
best pal. Barker’s a tough dog; he hikes trails with Andy and he can
get down and dirty with the best of them, but when night time comes, he likes to
be cuddly and warm at the bottom of Andy’s sleeping bag. Problem is
that while Barker stays warm, Andy’s feet freeze.
