steer: What is your super power? Your actual one, rather than what you'd like it to be.
Mine appears to be breast enhancement. Any small-breasted woman sleeping with me on a regular basis goes up a cup size or two. One went over the course of five years (starting age 25) from a large A to a D.
I must advertise this power more widely.
(With one exception, men sleeping with me appear to become straighter. Dammit!)
(Clarification: It does not make big ones bigger. Except one ex who went from DD to G. Whoops!)

Date: 2005-01-21 01:44 pm (UTC)I can also convince people to have kinky sex, though this is more of a life-skill than a superpower.

Date: 2005-01-21 02:19 pm (UTC)Greatest power: video memory - I can reel off someone's precise words so long as I've been paying attention weeks after the fact - very useful in exams, very annoying if you're arguing with me.

The largest swarm of locusts ever measured was in the Congo in 1959, and covered 8000 square hectares. I read that when I was 10, in the Reader's Digest Book of Facts.
...useless and inconsequential stuff, I remember.

Date: 2005-01-21 03:16 pm (UTC)1, I can juggle lots of balls (metaphorical balls!) - sometimes balls specially made just for me, things no one else can handle, I can deal with effortlessly. I even deal well when people throw more balls at me without warning.
2, I can run camps for other people's children - this is a special superpower - everyone runs away in terror when I tell them I can do this:-p
3, I am absolutely and completely unprovokable - this is a *very* useful superpower.

Date: 2005-01-21 04:38 pm (UTC)As for the life skill ... I think I have the "convincing people to do things they would normally never consider" down, but perhaps applying it to get people to come watch duelling ukeleles has been a misapplication of its true powers ...
My super-power (if a villain can have a super power)

The net result is that if anything bad is said about me, nobody believes it, even if it's completely true.
Very useful, as I am in fact highly inventive and deeply vindictive.

Date: 2005-01-22 01:03 am (UTC)People will believe the worst possible thing about me after looking at me just once.
In any police line up I will be picked as the guilty one regardless of what the actually guilt party looks like.
Old women pointing out the bag snatcher will make comments along the lines of "It's him officer" "but you said the thief was a small black man with one arm" "Yes, well, I mean just look at him! He HAS to be guilty of something!"
