What is your superpower?

 By Jennifer Williams

I haven't quite figured out what my superpower is yet. I can't seem to pin down one or two things that stand out as my great abilities that other people don't usually have.

My daughter's super alter ego is Super Memory Girl. She remembers things well. This talent comes in handy when I need help remembering something. For a 7 year old, she’s pretty reliable!

My husband's superpower is Anonymous Man. People just don't remember him. He can meet someone several times and the person often will not remember that they had met before.

Super Astronomer Phil Plait's superpower is that cats love him. They tend to love me, too, but not on the level of a superpower.

What is your superpower? And if you know me, what is mine? I must know.

My secret power is the ability to watch chick flicks with my wife and enjoy them. I can watch "You've Got Mail", "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless In Seattle" repeatedly.

My superpower is remembering numbers. It's an odd but useful power, especially when my husband brings me the combo lock for his gym locker that's been missing for about a year. Other times, it just annoys people that I can remember things that they have to look up. Now if I can only master remembering to take something out of the freezer for dinner...

My Voice. I have to be very careful in my secret identity to maintain an "indoor voice." At my default volume, people think I am yelling, and at full volume, I can stop people in their tracks. I once stopped a fight between two strangers by saying "NOBODY IS GOING TO PUNCH ANYBODY TONIGHT!"

My hands get preternaturally hot. I can practically scald people when I touch them. Even when the surrounding temperature is cold.

immortality. some people would consider it a curse to live forever; i enjoy life to its fullest and i think i could live forever if i retained good health.
