Title " The Chronicles of NASH."

Log Line: When multiple Government agencies discover Nash,
a martial artist and International adventurer, has natural
superhuman abilities he must use all his skills to escape
becoming a lab experiment and keep his freedom.

My "hero" is not a DC  or Marvel character!!!  He is a regular human being in every sense of the word ...... EXCEPT all his senses are heightened.  He's physically stronger and more athletic than normal.  Think Olympian Athlete compared to all of us being High Schoolers.  He has a high tolerance to pain and he heals faster than normal.  This is not a pretend ability, like Wolverine, but simply an actual medical observation.  If it takes us a week to heal he'll be fine in two days.    

In movie terms I guess he's closer to a meta human, but I'm needing a word or description that would keep him more human.  Some way to say that he is better and different than everyone else but that doesn't paint him as a Super Hero trying to figure out abilities.

Any ideas, words, or description help would be greatly appreciated.

Physically and mentally superior?

Biologically superior

A one-of-a-kind genetic wonder?


It's a toughie

Where do the abilities, especially the healing ability come from? That needs to be a part of your logline imho, instead of 'international adventurer' which to my ear sounds a little Bond-like.
