What Superpowers or Abilities do you have?

[reiperx]

What super powers or abilities do you have in real life? Could just be extraordinary talents, or anything else really, and do they relate to any heroes or villans?

Me:

I am very lucky. Not really something most people would consider a power, but at least in the Marvel universe it is (Longshot and Domino). I may not be a lottery winner, but I've yet to really be in a situation where things don't turn out alright for me. Even when something bad happens, it leads to me coming out on top. How this helps me: Well first, I come out on top or come out well most of the time in situations, even when in all rights I shouldn't. And it has let me live a very low stress life since I really don't worry about a lot of things.

Great balance: Again, not a huge super power or anything, but I'm really hard to knock down, knock over, or take down (grappling for example).

Grappling: Not really a power, but just a pretty good talent I have. Once me and my opponent are on the floor, I can usually come out as a winner, even if my opponent has a fairly good strength or weight advantage. But at the same time I'm realistic and if I'm going to lose I have no qualms about tapping out before I get hurt.

Robust Immune System: I have no allergies at all. I can even walk through a patch of poison ivy wearing shorts and sandals and have very little reaction. I hardly ever get sick, and when I do, I get better fast, and that's without taking any medications. I have had cuts that have healed faster than they should have, and I recover from strains, sprains, and such faster than normal.

Heightened Awareness: I am capable of picking up on extremely minor details that many people would miss. My peripheral vision is very good as well.

Stealth: I have this ability to sneak up on people without even trying. At a normal walking pace, I am very silent, to the point where I have to make an effort to make noise so as not to scare people all the time.

Enhanced Strength: I am extremely strong for my size (and I'm 6'0 and weight 270, though I look like I weigh about 230). In high school as a freshman, one of the varsity football players tried shoulder checking me, just to be a bully. He went down, not me, and he was a foot taller than I was and outweighed my by about 60 pounds.

I do this a lot as well.  Don't even really think about it.  I have had to consciously make noise when I walk though just so people know I'm there. 

Other than that, nothing special that I can't attribute to some specific factor.  My immune system is good, but I spent a lot of time outside running through woods as a kid.  My balance is good, but I played a lot of sports that require balance.  I'm a really good driver, but I constantly practice while I'm driving (apexing corners, heel/toe braking, etc.).

People always say I look like Sylar, so it's ironic and a little corny for me to say... but I guess mine would be Intuitive Aptitude, like he has.  If I have a natural skill for anything, it's analytical thinking - that ability to break things down piece by piece and see factors that no one else does.  It's what I've always relied on throughout school, and the reason why I often do very well in classes.  Naturally, this helps me as an engineer!

Didn't even think about this one. I guess because it's never really been called out. Being a CAD Designer, I utilize this skill as well. Of course, the fact that I have an insane imagination, can visualize how something will look in 3D based on a 2D sketch, and have a very high IQ doesn't hurt either...

[Master Rel]

Ohhh oooooo letting one's inner narcissist come out and wave a flag eh?

Hmm ok I'll bite  


High IQ (148-152 depending on testing source) with a genius rating in analytical awareness and practical geometry...I am good with shapes, volumes, and measurements.

I come from a long line of polymaths and polyglots...I favor the polymathic lineage with certifications/teaching credentials in electronics, electrical, mechanical, sculpture, polymer fabrication, cooking, construction, and related field applications such as inspections, remediation, and training.

Core pain tolerance quite high, related to adrenaline...having ripped off toenails and walked it off...continued fighting with a fully broken nose...though this is nothing compared to childbirth pain tolerance, so I would say this is only super for a guy lol. (though I still squeal like a preschooler from a paper cut)

Never a broken bone...my father was 6'5" and I am 5'9"...had a nasty childhood illness that stunted my long term height, when I had a benign tumor pulled out of my hand at 32 the doctor said my bones were like a 16yr old and had not fully set...I have 5"-6" of growth left...leaving me with dense bone structure...I should have broken a dozen so far...crosses fingers this continues into old age!

I have a unique blood type...O-...yeah yeah I know,a common type right? I have no positive markers (there are dozens to consider). Meaning I am CMV negative for example...my blood can and is used as universal donor blood for preemie babies.

My brain has a polymorphic make up with certain areas linked with more or less connections...one doctor reviewing my MRIs/EEGs/and PET-CTs during a behavioral study I volunteered for noted that I odd activity for the tests given...he suspected that I had other areas of my brain that were being driven into hyperactivity which results in a parallel thinking syndrome...in a nut shell I constantly think about singular subjects from 4-5 angles..which is great for multi-tasking and creative process...but heck on normal communication as my train of thinking leads me elsewhere and thus out of the conversation...knowing this I was able to absorb the therapy and finally relate to people...so yay for me!

For my height 5'9" I have large hands (laid flat, pinkie tip to thumb tip is 11 1/3"), fairly large feet 11-11.5 EE, and I have a 75" reach compared to my height 69".

I used to be able to fart on command, seriously anytime I wanted, loud stinky butt blasters!  But then I found out I was just lactose intolerant...stopped drinking milk and lost that power completely

Finally I have an eidetic memory related to images I have seen and sounds I have heard. Wish I could apply this to written or text related but alas that is one area of my big brain that is not as hyper as the rest  

There you have it!

[Frizzenflyer]

I bounce.

[Jammo]

Influence... I've always had an uncanny knack for the right words. I still don't get why people follow me and it is honestly a bit creepy sometimes...

[Luna]

Hmmmm....

High IQ, somewhere well above the minimum for genius

Above-average spatial awareness

Perfect eyesight (and unusual eye color, brown/purple)

Control of other people (intentional or unintentional)

Lack of empathy (many would view this as a problem, but I consider it an advantage)

Eidetic memory (image recall only, unfortunately balanced by my terrible echoic memory)

[RLYHYPERGUY]

Empathy - I understand how others are feeling (it doesn't have to be in person) and can easily predict how they would react to a certain situation.

Imagination (if it counts) - I'm very creative and usually "think outside of the box."

I also have Attention Deficit (SQUIRREL!) Disorder. While I have trouble paying attention, I tend to notice things others usually don't. I've also learned to control my impulses and "zoning out" so doing things such as asking a girl out are somewhat easy for me.

Enhanced reflexes - I have very fast reflexes. I was always very hard to hit in dodgeball, which always drove the other team crazy. I was usually the last guy left and would end up catching a ball to get my entire team back in. I miss those days. 

I'm also very agile and fast but I have horrible stamina, so that evens it out. 

I'm also pretty intuitive and good at figuring things out, but math-related subjects are my weakness in this area.

Funny, I had the same thing happen quite a bit back in the day.  I could dodge like crazy, but unfortunately I couldn't throw all that well (that's what I get for playing a sport without a ball lol)

I was the exact same! I never threw at the other team because I knew they would catch it lol.

I like how everybody has a laundry list of powers and I just bounce. 

[Darth Abaddon]

Manipulative: I can convince people to do or say certain things and get information with subtle words. They say what info I want and don't realize it until it's too late.

Observation: I tend to notice details that others completely overlook. I can also read people like a book based on their facial expressions and body movements.

''Shatterpoint?'': I know a multitude of weak points on the human body and can utilize them with little to no effort. I have the ability to cause paralyzing pain or the feeling of relaxation depending on how I make contact and where I do it.

Hearing: People say I have the ears of a bat. I can hear things from very far away. I hear deer in the woods 5 minutes before I see them.

Smell: I can also smell things very well. Things far away or with a light odor. I'm kinda like a blood hound. Haha

Natural Marksman: From the day I picked up a rifle I could make 200+ yard shots free hand with little trouble (shooters will know what free hand is) I was always a dead eye. No practice, no training, just picked up a rifle one day and found my talent.

Also, I guess since my friends envy this, it could be a special ability. I am an amazing massage giver. Kinda fits with the shatterpoint thing.   lol

Immunity: I am immune to things like Poison Ivy and Poison Oak.

Edit* I also have the ability to tolerate a considerable amount of pain with little to no damage. i.e. Flipped an 800lb lawnmower on top of myself backwards off a 3 foot ledge and walked away without a scratch.
