I had a converstation on IGN today about super-powers, and it got me thinking about ridiculous things I have tried to do in the past. Now we are all gamers here, and so I presume we all have rather active imaginations and like to "escape" reality every now and then, there may also be a few who are less "mentally sound" as the general populous, I would class myself as one of them. So here is the question, have you ever tried to use a super-power?

I have on multiple occasions... :P

When I was young I watched Dragon Ball Z and soon afterwards tried transforming into a Super Saiyan, I also yelled "Kamehameha" at the top of my voice multiple times and in multiple ways, but was extremely disappointed when nothing happened.

I grew up a bit and as I went through puberty/matured I became EXTREMELY empathic. I hate to see suffering, literally hate it, and I cannot be nasty to people, or think nastily of people, without feeling extremely guilty. I also started watching "Charmed" at this time, and one of the characters developed new powers...she was an empath...by default that obviously made me an empath also...I was met with disappointment once again...

Since growing older my empathic side has only matured alongside me and I once tried "healing" an injured animal, needless to say I was met with disappointment once more...

So those are my three rather embarrassing attempts at becoming a super-human, all of which failed unfortunately! So what are yours?

I can't say that I haven't tried to move objects with my mind.

Needless to say, I couldn't.

I tried bending a teaspoon with my mind once, and stopping my wristwatch. Both failed. I was obsessed with telekinesis. I still believe the human mind has untapped potential. Sometimes you just know what someone is thinking, or who's calling when the phone rings.

I swear my mother just knows when something wrong. I was away on a trip with my brother and I got a fever. Next thing I know my mother is calling my brother's cell phone and asking him what's wrong with me.

I've tried and failed to lift heavy objects.

I'm pretty sure that counts.
