BASE jumper and wingsuit flier Jeb Corliss may not be the man of steel, but we suspect a certain anatomical pairing of his is likely forged out of the robust material.

The American is undoubtedly possessed of superhuman courage. So much so, you might say his stunts border on the insane.

Neither content with leaping off high points that are themselves rooted to the ground (think cliff tops and tall buildings) … nor with flying with only fabric for a wing … Corliss has carved himself out a reputation for gliding perilously close to, and sometimes through, iconic landscapes.

Of course, words alone can’t do justice to such outlandish and brave feats. So we’ve collected some videos showcasing some of his most epic flights.
