GhostDancer Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 What is your superpower? I don't mean what superpower you would like to have, or your favorite one- I mean one you already have. Barring that, you could cite a friend's superpower. Some of these may resemble Quirks more than Powers, and that's fine. I'm nigh immune to jet lag, and this has been tested by repeated trips from Detroit to Asia. tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba smith Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 well my sister says i'm tough so i'd say increased endurance EDIT also my former tai chi teacher said I had a lot of chi so perhaps chi kung is a better way to put it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinanju Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 1. Recognizing when a piece of music from Film A has been lifted for use in a trailer for Film B (before the original score is completed) from just a few notes and 2. Recognizing a film score's composer by his distinctive sound almost instantly likewise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianaJoe3 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I might be a wizard. Seriously. I've made joking remarks asking for events that I should have no control over, and they've happened. (Of course, it could also be a coincidence. Magic is funny like that.)

lemming Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Possible real superpower that I had when younger: Great recovery time from drugs, especially anathesia. Almost became awake during a surgery, but that was the only problem. I also seem to have a unnatural ability to piss off someone who will later become my boss.

Nuclear Fridge Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Putting my foot in my mouth, making myself look stupid in front of others... Maybe that's more of a Disadvantage than an actual power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuestionMan Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 As a kid and young adult my Bioelectric Field was so strong I interfered with Radio Reception within 30 meters, blanked digital watches in 3 weeks, left rainbows accross tv screens and was contantly causing electromagnetic shocks. (Longest arc was 5 seconds)For the longest time I wore t-shorts and shorts in winter and could melt through artic ice by laying my hand down and exerting mild presure.I also possessed my Mom's insanely high pain tolerance.QM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm a storm repellant. Blizzards, hurricanes, even earthquakes may happen all around me, but my immediate area will be fine. I mean, it will rain during a hurricane, but houses in the town or neighborhood nearby will be devastated and we'll just be wet. My complications would take up all the room on this server to list.

Tedology Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I would say my superpower is being able to quiet a room of 32 rambunctious ten-year-olds by simply standing up. I don't think it's an AOE mind control, but more of a "Suppress Juvenile Chaos". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCloud2k2 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm a Wiccan. My High-priestess ran me through a gauntlet of tests to find my talents. I know there are those who don't believe in any of this stuff, just as there are people who claim to be Wiccan and then brag about all of the crap they have supposedly done. I think these fellows give the rest of us a bad name. Everything here is 100% to the extent of my knowledge and experience. Psychometry - I can pick up residual emotional energy on objects. I can also pickup what pop culture would refer to as 'ghosts.' Empathy/Aura Reading - I can read people pretty well. I know within minutes if you are someone who can be trusted or avoided. I've also got a HUGE 'magical core.' As in, when participating in rituals or doing magik work of my own, I can pull in and hold a lot of energy. Said ability to draw upon a ridiculous amount of power for spellwork is offset by my rage. I pretty much refuse to do magik anymore because there is too much danger of it becoming tainted by my rage and becoming black magik. As I told a priest consulting me for a possible exorcism - I can do it if I have to, but I'd really rather not. I also get deja vous a LOT. I'm not sure if it is anymore than mundanes do or if it's just a side effect of my affinity for the craft, but I've had dreams years in advance of them coming to pass. I also KNEW my grandfather was going to pass away the morning before it happened. Which sucked massively cuz I didn't get to say goodbye.
