Oh, I also have the ability to destroy computers just by using them. The last 3 computers that ever broke in my family broke when I was using it.

First, when I was installing a game, something got corrupted, and Windows 3.0 wouldn't start anymore.

Second, my cousin was playing Command & Conquer: Tiberium Sun on the family computer. She asked me to look after her base while she went to the toilet. Within SECONDS of sitting down on the chair, my hard disk drive failed and crashed.

Third, my brother had been playing Diablo 2 for the last 2 hours on the family computer. Now it was my turn. I played for 20 minutes and then the power source blew, taking the motherboard and hard disk drive with it.
My mum has that. I think they make medication for it now :p

I have more stopping power per sentence than UltraJosephine. I'm also Tess LaCoil, so I shock people regularly.

I have this insane ability to sort, recall and generally handle information, kinda like Oracle (from DC comics) or The Calculator (same).

I am completely immune to the cold. I can't feel it as the nerves in my body do not register anything cold.

Which makes me awesome/stupid in winter while I'm still in shorts.

I don't have anything that could be considered a super power really but I know of a super rare genetic mutation of some sorts that makes people see sound. It's something with their brain where the ear will hear something and the brain interprets it as something visual and not just audible.

Somewhat related [http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/92698.php]

Anyways I recall seeing a documentary about "Real Life" superheroes and I found out about this condition. It's really fascinating.

The power of positivity. I can shrug off negative things, or twist the perspective and see it in a different light. Somehow that annoys some people. I just don't see the point in negativity.

Luck of heroes. Not specifically in minor things, but in big things like finding an internship, or passing a year of school, I somehow manage to pull through without any effort at all. Where most people would worry to death about what to do next, I can usually say that it'll be al right.

Cat's grace. I only once have been injured seriously, after a falling from five meters on my neck when I was about six I nearly broke my it that time, but I 'just' sprained it. Besides that, I always landed on my feet without a real scratch. Also, I can move through crowds with uncanny agility and speed, without appearing to make an effort at all.

Strong mind. I can negate pain, just by thinking about it. It doesn't work with headaches unfortunately, but I can move my headache around in my head, which is kind off funny.

Well I think i have to say i have to many super powers.

I am a big man, yet still remain invisible. particularly in shopping centers. Yet I also seem to generate a micro gravity as every one seems to walk into me.
I have Ninja Stealth and actively practice it, particularly when i was younger. I can walk up to ANYONE without them noticing.

I have a high tolerence to pain.
Yet i also have an immunity to pain killers. When i had teeth pulled out my dentist had to inject local anesthetic (sp?) every 3minutes.

I have an uncanny sense of balance, yet suffer from a co-ordination problem.
Yet sometimes when i stand still i loose my balance for no reason.

I have an immense perception and can see in the dark, hear dog whistles and bat clicks.
Yet i suffer from itemrightinfrontofyou blindness.
I also catch fly out of mid air when they bug me to much. People tend to stare in disbelief if i do it while talking to them. "Did you just catch that fly ?" "Sure did." *boggle*


I also am extraordinarily Emphatic. I can relate to any one at any time.
Yet it's only Millionaires who treat me with respect. Average Joe likes to think he is better then me more then the 300 Millionaires who live where i work.

I have a vast knowledge of pretty redundent information. My mind is like an encyclopedia of useless knowledge. In fact i refer to it as that quite often, The Encyclopedia of Redundent knowledge, or also Encyclopedia Redundentia. I have 6 Volumes of knowledge is my extended joke.
I recall the names of over 500 people that have lived where i work over the last 4 years. I also remember a good majority of Phone numbers.

At this point in time i seem to have taken the ability to learn languages. Something in my brain just clicked about two weeks ago and all of a sudden i am able to listen to a language and absorb it. I am trying to get my friends to teach me French at the moment, and have Japanese and Cantonese CD's at home. I haven't started to develop it fully just yet.

Yep, also gave voice-acting a whirl for a science project. Turns out I'm pretty good at it.

Also I seem to have an unusual healing factor. Had a clean break in my left leg a few years back and I was completely ambulatory 26 days later... usual recuperation time is 6 weeks, at least from what the doc told me, who was baffled at my recovery.

The ability to turn my face purple, when I'm in a purple room I'm almost invisible! I have an amazing perception when it comes to food, I can hear the word burger a mile away, same with smelling food and seeing it. I can also go anywhere and do almost anything without anyone seeing or caring about me, I could invent time travel but no one would give a shit because I don't think anyone has every listened to me in my life, which has it's advantages.

I have the super ability of predicting reactions and thoughts. My friend has the super ability of being a dick regardless of the situation.
Then why is he your friend? Well my ability is being a classy asshole, a classhole if you will.

Please don't invent time travel, unless you can only go forwards then back to your point of origen. Otherwise you'll screw up the Spacetime Continuam.
