As a child, did you ever once believe you had super powers?

[Raziel321]

as a kid, like many others, i was hopeful and bent on the fact that i had so me sort of secret super power that would arise one day and propell me into a new and exciting life. especially with cartoons like the x-men around, and these ryu & ken who can shoot fireballs, i would sometimes concentrate super hard and attempt to hadouken.


oh and dragonball z goddamn that show made me believe forever especially after the episode when gohan was teaching videll how to fly and harness your inner powers

[Wantonx]

I can openly admit it now that you have. Yep I did and continued to hope intil about 4 years ago.....(I'm 24. SAD)

[epp1e]

DUDE. I got suspended for thinking I had super powers. Here's the story in a nutshell.

I decided to enter the talent show in the 5th grade thinking I had super powers. I went up on the stage & began to stare at the teacher I thought was hot. Here's the thing - I had no fucking idea about boners. So yeah, I got a boner finally and then began making it go up and down without using my hands. At this point, all the adults are looking with shock on their faces, all the 6th graders are cracking up (they didn't teach sex ed till 6th grade), and pretty much anyone in the 5th grade & under "WHOA, COOL!". So yeah, that's how I learned boners weren't a special ability only I possess - the hard way. It's always a treat running into someone from elementary school cause this is the first story that they'll recall every fucking time.

[Ephidel]

Admittedly I have, from a range of characteristics. Mostly the ones centered around telepathy or some sort of telekinesis.

[Gumbercules]

I can move my boner up and down without my hands

[scum gale 88]

I was big into spiderman when I was a kid and I thought I could cling to walls, yup, that fantasy was crushed pretty quickly. I also thought I had ninja speed, I could run pretty fast, but not ninja fast.
I also thought I had telescopic vision, turns out I was gifted SUPER NORMAL VISION! yes! look out evildoers!

:rofl: x FOREVER

Yeah, I too longed to have super powers that would let me have magical adventures and what not. I still wish I did. The real world is too boring. ;___;

That's probably one of the greatest things i've ever heard.

Street Fighter made me as a wild kid in school.
Good old times.

Tee hee

[Million]

I would daydream about really being a T-800....or a vampire. It was a great way to explain away certain ways I was different from (and better than) all my peers.

It's so disappointing to be only human. Humans are weak, easily injured, and just all around lame, pathetic creatures. I would still rather be something much higher up on the evolutionary scale.

[Higher-Jin]

I remember thinking I had a healing factor like wolverine because whenever I had pain it would usually go away in a few minutes. Little did I know, that's just how pain worked.

[fishjie]

no, i was always more of a hypochondriac - thinking i had every disease and sickness.

[moyospeed]

DBZ pretty much had me concentrating all my ki for just one kamehameha...
thats all I wanted just one

[drobizh]

I thought i was Spider-Man.
It was cool until that toby maguire shit came out

[Tantin]

...I may or may not have thought I was a wondertwin.

I had no twin.

[Ho0v-Man]

I thought I could make wind come to me at very high speeds. Turns out the car window was just rolled down.:bluu:

Later I thought I had the ability to control water. I thought that if I could keep focusing, that I would eventually I could make the tiny ripples I made whenever in contact with water transform into waves. But I was just sticking my hand in the water and displacing it causing it to ripple. I spent hours everyday in the pool "training.":bluu:

[igotalottastuff]

I used to think i was The Chose One. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone, that you think, one day your gonna find a criminal who's about to stab a woman, and then u quickly dash over, pull the knife away, make a huge scene, and everybody claps. Hasn't happened to me yet, but I still have high hopes it'll happen one day!

[Kyokuji]

Honestly, some of you should take up martial arts or breakdancing. Being able to throw your body around like that is very liberating. Next best thing to having actual super powers.

[StuartHayden]

this reminds me of all those forums that had instructions to launch kamahemaha's and how to build your own gravity and hyperbolic time chambers.

[Richter85]

I thought I can move things, using only my mind.

[rush down]

epple's story is amazing.

I remember when I was like 10 and SF2 had just came out I would try to do dragon punches and even fireballs. The dragon punches are bit easier, but I finally got them all down this last summer... worth it though.

[Black Chanler]

I thought I had the ability to read minds when I was 5 and I use to demand to get a baldie whenever I got my haircuts to look like a black professor x.

[Ephidel]

:rofl: some of these stories are hilariously funny.

[GC!?]

I once thought I was Batman.

That shit is comedy gold! I fucking love it

[nGuman]

I once believed I can change the weather.

[robotchop]

i used to think i had healing powers like wolverine cause i had a lot of surgeries growing up. i even asked the doctors if i could get claws in my arms sadly i was denied.

[Raziel321]

i too possess the power of total boner control...

[Adam Warlock]

Yeah, I was a dumb kid. Examples include:

-Ever walk past a lamp post and have it turn off? I thought it was only me. Imagine getting an asswhoopin because your mom told you to be home by the time the streetlights came on, but you had a foolproof plan to turn them off by walking past them.

-Notice how the water traces your body when you shower? I sho' nuff thought I was Hydroman. I'd let the water trace down my fingertips and practice my power.

-Not quite the same, but a little over a year ago, I was just beginning to fall under the influence for an operation, the anesthesiologist mentioned heroes and I told him I had the power to fart on command. He found it so funny he invited other people into the room to laugh at me.

[white shadow]

Well I used to be obsessed about Akira the first time I saw it and one time I felt compelled to try moving a glass of water with my mind just to see if I could surprised myself, when that didn't work I tried to see if I could make the water in the glass ripple with my mind.

Turns out I did make the water ripple!




....because I was subtly shaking the whole table from my powerful semi-constipated mental concentration.

[Ghostal]

-Notice how the water traces your body when you shower? I sho' nuff thought I was Hydroman. I'd let the water trace down my fingertips and practice my power.

AHAHAHA I used to do the exact same thing.
That and I thought if I concentrated REALLY hard in a car, I could make the red lights turn green before they would normally.
Got them Psycho Powers like Mike (Bison.).

[rush down]

This is a funny thread. And I thought I had crazy ideas as a kid.

This is kinda related, but one time in 3rd grade I tired to convince my buddy Nick that I was from the future. That's kinda funny for like a one day thing, but I actually stretched it out over like 2 months. I really, really wanted to make him think I was from the future. It wasn't even so I could call him a dumb ass after I got him to believe me or anything, I just wanted to see if I could get him to buy it.

I would even bring stupid shit to school that I found in my dad's tool drawer. I'd just grab something that looked kinda interesting or futuristic and make something up. Thinking back, I probably would have grabbed like a fancy, yellow handled screw driver with interchangable heads and claimed it was a lazer pistol or something. When Nick would ask me to blast a tree or somethin I just claimed it broke in the travel or that it "wouldn't work in this time". I also told him his older brother died by driving off a cliff. He's kinda a loser so this might actually happen which would be really ironic.

Those were the times... now if I try to pull this one I get locked up. Things are no fun anymore.

[Shukuda]

Reality kicked in. What a sad day.

[J Flo]

I was a huge Sonic fan, and I thought that eating chili dogs would make me super fast.

[ckrazy]

I do have superpowers it just deactivates sometimes without getting me a heads up which sucks.

[Ephidel]

I thought by looking at spoons I could bend them if I concentrated hard enough.

[fistoftheryustar]

ha ha you win!

but yeah what kid didnt think they had powers. i used to believe that if i really believed it, i could beat any person in the world i wanted

Huh? Humans are the DOMINATE species on the planet.

So what if we don't have natural attributes, like the grizzly bear's immense size and claws, we're smart enough that we don't need it. I'd like to see grizzly bear build a .44 magnum and blast someone with it.

[Dhalsimowns]

I wanted to fly, then after thinking about Aladdin, I wanted the power of that one kid had in twilight zone. Whatever you think happenes, ya, thats the best power.

I used to have super deja-vu powers as a kid. It was creepy. Now that I am older I dont get them as much but my powers have grown. Sometimes I remember I saw the present in a dream I had in the past. Like a more advanced deja-vu, that Fry's nephew the proffessor has.

[Rengoku]

shit, i still do

lol

[GeoG2]

I drank Powerade because I thought I was a Power Ranger.

as a kid i had a dream i was watching muppet treasure island. 8 years later the movie came out in real life

[Raziel321]

when i was younger i used to run as fast as i could and think i was going incredibly fast. then i tried out for the high school baseball team and looked like a fool during sprints :bluu:

we're hardly the dominate species

we've only been here a few thousands years, a mere blip on the radar.

insects will be around long after we go extinct. mosquitos and cockroaches > humans.

[fP_tHuG]

when i was like 9 years old i thought i was sonic, so all i did was run around, telling all the other kids at the park, "I'm faster than you", if i saw a kid riding a bike, i would intentionally run beside it, adjust my speed to match theirs, and i would say "Hi", then speed off, just like in the cartoons. LOL, i stop doing it when sum other kid beat me at running, that bastard.

[Lobelia Mk. IV]

I carried the belief that I was psychic when I was little. I thought I could communicate with animals, influence the thoughts of others, and attain a high level of clairvoyance through my dreams.
Tbh I still sort of think that I can do the second and third things, although the events that I hold as evidence could just be coincidences.

[The Mullah]

snip

no man, bacteria are the dominant species, because they'll be here even after insects!

But seriously, until we're extinct, we got the top spot.

edit: i still attempt to move things with my mind from time to time, when i'm bored. Only because telekenesis seems plausible in some way to me.

[woof]

i have the ability to create

thats enough for me

[Lobelia Mk. IV]

i have the ability to create

thats enough for me

Holy shit.
Since when were you so deep?

[Rengoku]

cockroaches > humans.

winner
if i could decide my superpowers i would become cockroachman

cockroachman>nuclear blast

[Ferdinandz]

I always thought I was one of the bronze saints and one day(when i was old enough) I was going to join Seiya and the gang

damn I was fucking obsessed with saint seiya.

[Shion]

After watching DBZ I checked for websites with instructions for controlling Ki and Kamehamehas. :bluu:

[DESERT DRAGON]

the power to have as many powers as i wanted
