Hey, we all have our superpower :D
That sounded like such a good thread idea that I promptly decided to steal it.

So what is your superpower?

My superpower is being able to arch each eyebrow independently... to the beat of a song, no less!

Completely useless, but Mom was always able to do it and I thought it was cool so I kept trying until I was able to. No reason. I just thought it was neat.

I can do the "Live long and prosper" thing with my hand that Spock does.

I can eat 50 hard boiled eggs in an hour like Paul Newman did in the movie Cool Hand Luke. I've never had call to use my superpower but have committed to only using it for good.
I can also do the Vulcan sign so where is the convention this year Tourist?

But can you "Spock" someone unconscious?

Yeah right. I did eat 36 standard size ears of sweet corn in one sitting. And unlike Cool Hand Luke I was able to remove the Head of a Parking Meter without a pipe cutter. In the 60's all that was needed was a blow simultaneously on both sides of the meter and it would screw off. Getting it open for pennies did not make it a common practice.

It can't melt steel. But it can make even a steel girder stop and think about whether what it just said was really as funny as it thought.

I’m a plot killer. I can read or watch something and tell you how it doesn’t work. Holes in a story are no match for me!

Have you seen pitch meetings? Ryan George has a channel on youtube where he basically makes fun of movie plot holes.

I once was strangled and held down by three big guys in my sleep. It wasn't a nightmare, it was attempted murder. When the dust settled I preached my second sermon. Topic:. Death and Hell
Hmm... so it's YOU who's been flying around at night stopping crime!!

I wasn't a superhero. I was sound asleep at 3 or 4 AM. I was in Texas to help a Baptist church and evangelist with their two week revival.
One night, three men all at once attacked me at my weakest, a deep sleep. Each one held my arms while the other tried to smother/ choke me to death. The Lord helped me utilize techniques that He taught me over the years, through my teachers and special insights, to fight them from my back on the bed. They were standing around me and kept attacking after I threw them away. They finally realized that they were going to die. They were shown mercy after being trashed enough to demonstrate their mortality. Then they were preached the reality of hell and judgement.

I'm not a tough guy. I've just been blessed with training in multiple fighting / combat arts since I was young. The attack in Texas was one of many that occured with no referees or rules, where evil people tried to murder me or mine at various times. It's been a series of major blessings looking back at how the Lord provided protection in major combat scenarios.
