Natalie Portman’s Eleven From ‘Stranger Things’ Meets Other Experiments Granted Fantastic Powers

The main takeaway from Stranger Things season two was the fact that there were more than just one person out in the world with fantastic powers. That’s why Eleven was named “Eleven” after all. Because she was the 11th experiment, but we didn’t know where these other, powerful people were, or what their powers were.

In Stranger Things season two’s most divisive episode, we come across one of the long-lost escaped experiments — Eight. She can create illusions with her mind, which works for her life of crime. But what about all the other experiments? Who else came out of that sketchy lab in Hawkins? Saturday Night Live has an answer.

Like Eleven, each person has a special power and a side-effect. She can move things with her mind but then gets tiny nosebleeds. In the sketch, there’s Fourteen, who can start fires with his mind but every time he does it he throws up a little in his mouth.

Nine also makes her presence known. She can read people’s minds, but it makes her fart. Then there’s Five, who can run really fast but gets a boner. There’s also the guy who can make fantastic chili, but his brain bleeds when he does it. And then a final super-powered experiment: Eighteen. She can do a pretty good Borat impression, but when she does it she goes into a coma for two days.

And because ending sketches on a high note is so damn tough, SNL rolls out Three, who has a power to end sketches.
