Thread: Your Current Super Powers

I have double-jointed elbows which twist all the time (making punches, baseball swings, and golf swings really wierd).

Also, I'm usually a slow runner, especially in races. But when need be, such as in soccer or football, I can run like the wind.

i can mentally release adrenaline into my bloodstrem.

I can also self-dislocate both my sholdiers, kind of like Mel Gibson in "Lethal Weapon"

I can sleep all day (literally)

Super powers:
-I've become a yellow belt in Judo. Sure, it's not a huge accomplishment, but I plan to continue to improve and who knows, it could be a super power.
-Very sure footed. I grew up walking up and down hills (with snow, mud, slippery dry grass, etc.) so I've had some good practice. My balance isn't too bad, either.
-I can speak a fair amount of Russian and Spanish, though not fluently yet.

Non-super, yet could be considered more unique:
-I can flip my tongue over (laterally) both directions. It's not extremely unique, but I've found people that either can't do it, or can only one do it one direction.
-I can make a tendon in my neck pop out - and not the two that make a v-shape at your clavicle. A different one (and if I had a camera I'd show you).
-I can cross both eyes as well as one eye at a time.
-I have a large mouth, capable of swallowing vast quantities.

Superpowers:
-> Flexibility: I can do the splits - side and front - and can put both of my legs behind my head. I can also pack myself into surprisingly small places, such as suitcases.
-> Weather Control: My mere presense driving along the highway during spring or summer will most likely cause a severe thunderstorm to develop and move directly over my location. Unfortunately, this superpower seems to attract hail cores instead of mesocyclones. I believe the fundamental mechanism for this superpower is Murphy's Law.
-> Tree climbing: Any tree, any time, anywhere. (Ok, well, almost.)
-> Unintentionally doing very bad things to electronic devices: They don't like me, which is ironic since I spend at least 5 hours a day working with a computer.
-> Mental caller-ID: I think my friends and family are just very predictable about when they call, but it's handy nonetheless.
-> MacGyver, Jr: Self-explanatory.

Also I have double jointed thumbs. Also I have unusually long sexual endurance, also I have funnel chest which can be ujsed to smuggle things in, also I'm a great tree climber, also I'm really, really charismatic and a good strategist.

Nothing really abnormal, except I can type really fast (relatively speaking) so I guess if you need that essay dictated to be handed in three hours from now you can just shine the Batman signal in the sky and I'll drop by.

EDIT: Although I have played around with my ear so much all the 'grizzle' has pretty much been exterminated and I am now able to fold my ear inside the hole, making me look like some sort of mutant Scottish Fold, more or less. Then I can move my face muscles and make them 'unfold' and 'pop out' of the earhole I lodged them into at any time I so desire, which is really impressive to all of you, I'm sure.

EDIT EDIT: I'm not available for parties, no.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Not in a 'jumping out of cake' capacity either.

I once fell into a tub of radioactive waste, and now I have lazer eyes...well, that's not actually true. My best superpower is being decietfully, and often dangerously lazy.

i've masturbated so much in my life that i can manually control the length of my wank, anywhere from 7 inchs to 12 feet. Now THAT is superhuman ability

Awesome topic!

Hmmm... what are my super-powers???

• I can write really well, academic and prose... it comes naturally.
• I have superhuman powers of skepticism and atheism
• I can drink incredible amounts of alcohol and still stay conscious and not have memory loss. (Not sure that's a good thing)
• I have the superhuman ability to sleep through earthquakes, alarm clocks, massively loud parties, and the like. The only thing that wakes me up is drinking too mcuh water and needing to go to the toilet, or an alarm clock literally strapped to my ear. And even then, it's the vibrating that does it not the noise.
• I have super-hair that is amazingly thick and voluminous, the envy of many females as constantly expressed by them to me, and is also lovely and silky when I use good conditioner.
• I also have the amazing ability to consume more food than anyone else in any given room, and still be able to eat dessert. (Again, not sure that's a good thing)
• Through extensive weights training, and habitually carrying a large bag averaging about 20kgs to university every day over a long distance by foot, I'm a packmule and can carry large loads over very long distances without tiring.

EDIT: OH! I almost forgot. And Shhhhh! This part is secret, so don't tell anyone.

I'm actually a fallen angel thrown out from Heaven by God more than 3000 years ago due to my vocal opposition to a change in God's policy with regards to intervention in human affairs - as a Seraphim, I had significant influence, and my support for intervention in human affairs, in particular a more active role to be taken by Guardian Angels, caused God, in all her arrogance, to throw me out. Hence, for the last few millenia I have been reincarnated through various mortal forms hundreds of times over throughout human history, cursed to conceal my cellestial heritage and forbidden from using my angelic powers to intervene in human affairs. Hence, I must resort to a more passive, subtle influence to try and assist deserving humans.

EDIT EDIT: And by the way, this doesn't conflict with my atheism. God no longer exists - she quite literally died two thousand years ago, and through a demonic coup, the Morning Star, Lucifer, managed to confine her to hell, and over the next thousand years, siphoned her power and essence to feed his own strength, until in the mid 13th century, God had finally died. Upon which, the link between Heaven and Earth, as well as Hell and Earth, has been seemingly severed, while agents from both realms attempt to break through and re-establish their links. Hell is much stronger, Heaven being led by a small remnant of Angelic forces that were not already captured or killed by Lucifer in the celestial cold war that hasd been raging for 1000+ years since God's capture and imprisonment in hell. It ended with her eventual death and dissolution.

Yup. Strewth.

I can manipulate people
I can talk my way out of a situation.

But I only use these powers for the greater good

I type pretty fast.. o_o (130 WPMish, if I really need to, much faster).
Let's see.. I can shake my eyeballs. Really fast. Like, HYPNOTISE.

Yep, transliteration is converting cyrilcs to our letters.

EDIT: Cyrillic

Thanks to whoever fixed my spelling mistake. I think I know who it was.

Eligos

Hmm, let's see:

- I eat about every 3 hours and never gain weight.

- Fast runner, especially for my height.

- I can draw a blood sample from just about any size of animal. From a horse to a mouse, and everything in between.

- Like tweak, I can make my eyeballs shake really fast from side to side. What's up with that anyway?
