Jem Stansfield is a British scientist that answered the question: How much can a Vacuum really suck?

Using 2 modified Vacuum cleaners, Jem built giant suction cups that could hold his weight. Once he strapped it to his back, he was able to climb a wall in Essex up to 30 feet.

“I came across the idea for the vacuum cleaners when I was doing a challenge to make superhuman powers out of junk. I worked out the vacuum cleaners could support my weight,” – Interview from the Telegraph

Spiderman? Wouldn’t he be more like Doctor Octopus? After all, Doc-Oc had the special arms to climb walls. Unfortunately, Jem only has 2 arms, so that would make him Doc-Oc divided by 4.

It might also make him the next “Bill Nye – Science Guy”. He is planning his next feat – driving a car from London to Manchester using Coffee Beans for fuel. Juan Valdez would be proud.
