#16: A Family of Superheroes

This Reddit user’s family history sounds straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster! A grandfather who survived being shot through both knees in WWI and limping for miles to safety? That’s the kind of story that makes you wonder if he was secretly a superhero in disguise. And his brother surviving the horrors of war only to be taken down by the Spanish flu? Talk about a cruel twist of fate.

It’s unfortunate that the user never got to meet their grandfather in person, but at least they have a newspaper article to prove that these incredible tales are true. Maybe this user is the last surviving member of a secret family of superheroes, destined to save the world from evil forces? Or maybe they’re just really lucky to have such an interesting family history. Either way, it’s a story worth sharing!
