Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.
The Tempest. Act ii. Sc. 2
I just searched the transcripts. First, Boone said Shannon was special in a lot of ways. Second, Jin was promoted to special assistant. Third, Locke's mom said he was special.
Walt is "different" and scary to his adopted dad, just like
Claire's baby was scary to the psychic.
Hurley is happy-go-lucky.
There's no doubt that a subset, and maybe all of the main lostaways are
"special."

Someone brought up how the woman who drowned in the water was breakable because she died.. However didnt you guys read about how the boat is supposed to get stuck in a whirlpool out in the ocean, maybe she got stuck in one of these, this would still make her breakable however just a thought

This is one of the theories that gets better with time.
"Unbreakable" might be an exaggeration of the powers of
the super-healing gene: no, it won't help you if you get sucked into a jet engine and spat out in teeny tiny pieces, or sucked under water for hours, but it will make your everyday ouchies heal more quickly, and give you a chance if, for example, you happen to fall off a cliff and have an airplane land on top of you. Who knows, maybe the marshal would have pulled through if they hadn't shot AND smothered him. (Hey! Maybe all the Lostaways are descended from Rasputin. ) As for Jack and Sayid not being "special," both of them (and Sawyer as well) have healed within days from pretty serious injuries.
If this is theory is true, my guess is that EVERYONE on the plane tested
had at least one copy of this gene (with the possible exception of people
who were accompanying carriers--ie. Sun OR Jin, Shannon OR Boone might
be negative). Part of the test would then be to see who expressed the
gene and how much. In other words, if the gene didn't kick in for you,
you died

I find this theory particularly intriguing. But to take the speculation one step further, I was wondering if we could logically tie in x-men into this theory.
X-men obviously heavily influenced unbreakable, but thats not why i bring
it up. The mutants are ostracized by the world they live in. People are
scared of them because they are different, special, and powerful. Perhaps
the survivors were deliberately banished to the island because of there
specialness. This is a possible explanation as to why there was more then
one 'unbreakable' person on the plane.
On a tangent LostinWilderness made an interesting and informative post
(thanks) but i was unsure about one of the things they said:

remember J.J. referring to Walt as special, before Walt's abilities were
revealed. Am I remembering wrong(always a possibility?
