Got Any Superpowers?

[Xose Lucero]

How about it? Have you got any abilities beyond those of ordinary mortals? They don't have to be very beyond; just slightly beyond is okay.

I would say I have the power of super sarcasm but these days that's about as common a power as looking good in spandex is in comic books. After years of rolling around in toxic chemicals and exposing myself to cosmic rays about the only unusual physical trait I have is total immunity to ice cream headaches and brain freeze. No matter how fast I chug a shake it never happens.

This probably won't help my neverending fight against injustice and evil unless Mister Freeze tries to drown the world in soft serve. But when that day comes you can count on me, citizens.

Your arch-nemesis,Good Humor Man!

I have the same super-power as Mr. Burns on The Simpson -- there are so many things wrong with me, in perfect balance, that I am nigh-immortal.

I have the power to pick out celebrity voices. Doing an ad spot? have a voice only cameo? killer's voice during a movie trailer ruining the shocking ending? yup, thats me.

The only exception is that i don't get who Finger in the 5th Element is supposed to be. The guy willis is always talking to on the phone. his voice sounds familiar, but he isnt credited, and the last time i checked the interweb, nobody seemed to be sure.

I'm always irritating my girlfriend with "THATS SCOTT GLENN! doing a ruby tuesday commercial for some terrible reason." to which she'll invariably answer "Who?" then i'll have to run down a list of movies, most of which she hasnt seen.

so really its more of a curse than a power. but i guess thats the ongoing theme with these super types, no?

[Berin Kinsman]

Finger's voice is Vin Diesel.

[mrmontie]

I thought that was dismissed as an incorrect rumor.

[Berin Kinsman]

Was it? I'll take your word for that. It's just what I'd heard.

[Cameron Goble]

I have no particular powers to speak of.

(Hey. This is the Internet. Somebody might, you know, be listening in or something. Nice try, Hypnoangel -- if that is your real name. Like I'm going to post up my powers where any dork can just Google for them. Shame on you.)

[Xose Lucero]

Curses! Foiled again.

Hey, I never said you have to post your weaknesses. :)

Sniffing out Crime where ever it hides!

Tracking the Scent of Evil to its very lair!

I am Olfactory Man!
WIth the power to smell even the faintest odors!
A blessing and a Curse!

Seriously, I seem to have a preternatural sense of smell.

[mrmontie]

I'm with you on that one. makes me think i'm having seizures half of the time as nobody else around me smells the odor. I can generally smell pot from a mile away as well. and i'm not particularly a connoisseur. Not that its a difficult aroma to detect, but I generally beat everyone else to it when the two stoners step into dennys at 2am.

[Deidzoeb]

I can write the hind leg off a horse. (Not a skill that I'm called upon to use often enough.)

I can play some songs on guitar in the dark and/or blindfolded.

I was going to say an innate sense of direction, remembering my orientation relative to points on a compass, but I can only maintain it if I'm following fairly straight streets or corridors. Doesn't keep me from getting lost if I'm following a lot of curving, looping streets.

Disappointment.

I can project a wave of utter disappointment with a simple sagging of my shoulders and lifting of my eyebrows. If I add a sigh I can make interns break out in floods of tears and trembling lower lips.

And if I say "I had such high hopes for you. You were our best, our brightest, how can this have happened." Well, let us say entire football teams drop out of leagues...

Bring on your deathrays, your invisible girls and incendiary teenagers, nothing can resist the power of disappointment!

My fiance says I have the ability to be an annoying know it all....This works very well when you want people you find annoying to leave you alone. Of course it also works in reverse and everyone else comes to you wanting something, constantly, because they think you really do know a lot. So you have to avoid answering the phone and pretend you are not home. I don't know if that counts, but it sure is super annoying.
