It wasn't just Methuselah, lots of biblical characters lived massively
expanded lifespans.

Fallen.

Couldn't Moses see a burning bush (and nothing else) even though there're
only sands?

Methuselah, however lived the longest before dying (969 years). And yet,
he died before his father (I'll take stupid bible school trivia for 100,
Alex).

Other 'super-powered biblical figures
Joshua had some pretty strong sonic powers
Daniel had power to control animals
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were apparently fireproof
David had superhuman accuracy


You could, of course, also check out Kurt Busiek's biblical themed
superhero group in Astro City.
