What is your superpower?
Lately I've been obsessed with bizarre skills that individuals develop. One of my friends has an uncanny knowledge of knots. I can identify something that is not a quarter in a handful of quarters just by the sound they make when they hit a counter. If some sort of Justice League were to contact you, for what skill/talent (that you already possess) would it be?

I can fall asleep within 10 minutes every single night, no matter where I am.
A bit chatty, no?

Response by poster: Heh, alright, you sticks in the mud. I'll flag it myself.

Are you looking for tangible skills? At least twice I have conjured people that I have not heard from in ages (thought about them and got a letter/IM from them that same day). Also, I have made offhand mention of a celebrity and they either died or got hurt the next day (John Ritter, Chris Penn, Nancy Regan).
I often see a few seconds of a movie or TV show and can identify it even if I have never seen it before.

I've been known to get technology to work by growling on it, or in extreme cases, accidentally giving myself a cut and bleeding while trying to add / remove hardware components. (Arguably, the last is not a superpower so much as possibly a sign that I am one of the damned.)
My girlfriend has excellent parking spot karma / generation abilities. Other friends claim to have sold their soul to the devil in return for always having a spot available when they need it.
