Move over, Steve Austin, there's another bionic man in town.
Zac Vawter will attempt to use the power of his mind to enable him to climb to the top of Willis Tower in Chicago on Sunday.
Vawter, from Yelm, Wash., lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident and has been testing a groundbreaking bionic leg since 2009. It works by responding to electrical impulses from muscles in his hamstring.

He hopes to climb the 103 flights of stairs in about one hour.
