Which words or phrases in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's “Report on the Barnhouse Effect” portray Professor Barnhouse as an exceptional person?

There is an understandable tendency to look upon Professor Barnhouse as {a supernatural visitation.} The First Church of Barnhouse in Los Angeles has a congregation numbering in the thousands. He is {godlike} in neither appearance nor intellect. The man who disarms the world is {single}, {shorter than the average American male},{stout} and {averse to exercise}. His I.Q. is 143, which is good but certainly {not sensational}. He is quite {mortal}, about to celebrate his fortieth birthday, and in good health.
