No. Steven Hawking is an incredibly intelligent man who has made several important discoveries and theories in his lifetime. However, he is commonly portrayed in the media to be a genius of superhuman proportions, which is not so. He is indeed human. However, because of his disabilities, he has spent his life in pursuit of knowledge, forgoing life's physical aspects beyond the most basic of necessities. Because of this enhanced focus upon mental prowess, he has achieved more than most. This is similar to anybody who places their life focus on, say, pinball. Under most circumstances, this individual would eventually become better at pinball than any but those who have also dedicated vast amounts of time to pinball.

What problem involving black holes did Stephen Hawking solve?

How is Steven Hawking involved in black holes?

Hawking proposed that black holes would interact thermodynamically with the universe in specific ways; for example that radiation could be generated by quantum effects near the event horizon (Hawking radiation) and thus carry mass away from it, per Einstein's proof of the equivalency of mass and energy; thus a black hole's mass could decrease over time and eventually it could "evaporate" entirely.

Did steven hawking fall off of something to make him the way he is now?

No, Stephen Hawking suffers from a degenerative motor neuron disorder like ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) which slowly progressed over a few decades, leaving him largely immobilized in a wheelchair.
