I don’t have any superpowers nor have I tried to use them.
I do have a wand, though, from Ollivander’s.

Yeah, I try to use telekinesis all the time- opening doors, grabbing a soda from across the room, that sort of thing. Never works. One fo these days it will, and I probably won’t even notice.
The first time I got hit by lightning, I went around for a week or so, trying to throw bolts of electricity. It turns out I can only do it when it’s cold and dry outside, and I’m either on shag carpet or getting out of my truck. Not phenomenally useful, I’m afraid.
As with **Troy McClure SF **, I too try to use the force. Not to make people do or say things, but just to get stuff that’s on the other side of the room. I got my nephew into it as well. He hasn’t gotten it to work either. I sometimes think that if I try hard enough that I may be able to make something wobble or fall over. But I’m not quite sure what it is that I have to try harder at. More positive emotion, maybe? Or I could go the dark side route and get myself all mad and worked up and then try it then.
I’ll have to try that the next time I’m angry at something. If it works then I suppose I’ll just take over the galaxy after that.
Do or do not.
There is no try.
When I was six, I was sure I could fly.
I tied a dishtowel around my neck and jumped off the garage roof.
I put a pillow about ten feet from the wall, since I knew I wouldn’t fly far, and would probably land rough, being a beginner. I was totally shocked when I landed less than a foot from the wall!
I blamed the problem on the size and color of the dishtowel. It didn’t reach my knees, and it wasn’t a dark enough blue.
I never had the opportunity to try again since I got in soooo much trouble for that try.
I’m not sure any more that I can fly, since now I’m old and fat. :dubious:
You chose the wrong color entirely.
Superman wears a red cape and can fly. Batman wears a dark blue cape but can’t fly. Clearly, the thing for you to do is get yourself a red dishtowel and get back up that garage roof and try again, ASAP. It’s never too late. Someday, you’ll thank me for this.
Oh yeah, right. Then I’ll just melt my own eyeballs. I’ve seen the cartoons. It’s just like when Bugs turns the barrel of the rifle around and Elmer ends up shooting himself.
I don’t think so.
I use Wingardium Leviosa.It’s fascinating seeing how women react when I use it on their blouses as they go past
Hey, but it’s a start. I’m betting Superman could only leap tall fences when his powers first started developing.
Oh, and by the way, the first time you got hit by lightning? Maybe your superpower is attracting electricity.
I have the power to take a perfectly normal, sane, confident woman and turn her in to a babbling pool of insecurities and self-doubt. The first one took a year, the second one took six months…these days, I can do it in 3 dates. Soon, I’ll be able to accomplish this from e-mails alone. Then, the world is mine! BWAAAAAAHAAAAHHAAAAAHAAAAAA!!!
Still haven’t found a way to control my reproductive organs
I can’t believe no one else has ever attempted to see through someone of the appropriate gender’s clothes.
So, far, no such luck, but I figure if I stare long enough, something will happen.
I’m still working on developing the telekinetic ability to move the remote into my hand whenever something annoying’s on TV. I’ve mastered the squinting until I give myself a headache part, but the actual moving of the remote is taking awhile.
Of course I have. Sometimes, it even seems to work.
Not exactly a superpower, but every now and then I wiggle my nose. Just to see if anything happens.
Like a few others, I also try to use The Force every now and then. Mostly to try to move stuff with my mind. When I try it, I’m always picturing the scene where Luke is hanging upside down in the snow monster’s cave and he Forces his light saber into his hand so he can cut himself down.
I often use my powers of telepathic persuasion to convince the moron driver in front of me to turn left at the next intersection. Or to convince the driver that has had their turn signal on for the past three miles to go ahead and make that left turn while on the freeway overpass.
Dude, seriously, just make a pit thread out of it already or something.
My super power? Accurate perception of myself as other people see me.
I have been trying to use the Jedi Mind Trick on people for years.
“These are not the TPS Reports you are looking for.”
Yeah, I’ve done that. I think I’ve tried levitation once or twice, and the occasional wishing for things. If I ever live in a padded room, which I suppose is a possibility, I’ll try to throw myself at the ground and miss.
I attempt to use “the force”, and my wife gets annoyed enough that she gets up and hands me the remote control that I wanted.
So, yes, I have super powers.
