What's your mutant power? Mine is, as you might have guessed, fast songwriting.

Remembering trivia. Sports trivia, comic book trivia, movie trivia, even stuff about politics. (Did you know that a seated US Senator hasn't been elected president since 1960?)

I was a real pain to play Trivial Pursuit with when I was a teen. Unless you were playing with teams, and I was on your team.

Mine was always a power I came up with for a long since dead campaign.

Basically, you can take an item, and either put it into an other-dimensional space around the body, that only you can see the item there, or you can do it so it's stationary, but it disappears to all viewers. Made the character a decent thief, sadly enough.

Also useful for creating doors that lead to each other. :-)

Mine is this permanent aura that says "Yes, I always know what's going on all the time and in any situation."

As in, I'm shopping at the grocery store and people stop me to ask me where things are. *blink*

I wish they'd make a spray for my aura, LOL

According to me? Ah, probably something involving baking or perfect pitch.

Hey! That's my superpower too. Only my ability to find research isn't limited to things I don't need. But my ability to find objects in the house is hampered when I actually have to think about where I left something. When there's no thought involved though, just instinct, I'm off the hook.

I'm pretty sure at this point that the ability to do math and engage in rational thought counts.

Aside from that, I recover from severe injury fast enough that I actually had a neurologist ask what I was after the hit-and-run accident that sent me to the ICU. Mutie healing power ftw! I presume it's an extension of the whole shapeshifting thing. ^_^

I saw that article when I was doing research on frogs for the zoo yesterday night. It's totally awesome. Things like this are why I want to go back into more field research type stuff. The natural world is so fascinating and we really don't know very much about lots of things. Yay science!

You want the whole list, or just the highlights?

Ok, first off I really am a mutant. I know, I sequenced my own DNA! Lets see, mutant abilities...

Invisibilty...I mean I'm Large Hairy-Scary Biker dude, how else do you explain people trying to walk through me?!

Communicate with Cats... well ok, maybe not a mutant power as such.

Time Travel... only works forward though. I seem to skip a few hours here and there on a regular basis...

Necro-techno-mancy.... I raise machines from the dead.

and assorted other weirdness. Like being toxic to blood-sucking bugs for example. [that one's a genuine mutant ability.]

I have known for years that my mutant power is the ability to have lines form behind me at restaurants, store checkouts, and so forth. Sometimes I experience the inverse and get stuck in the slowest line available.

My mutant power is the ability to convert everyone I come in contact with into fans of whatever I'm into at the time. I first noticed it when everyone around me suddenly started reading Sluggy Freelance. It's only gotten stronger as more time passes.

This has led to me being given the nickname "The Typhoid Mary of Viral Marketing."

Strange, but very true.

(I share this with millions of women: "Gee honey, does this dress make me look fat?")

And lost children attach themselves to me in public venues.

Being the responsible, dependable one
