Not exactly a super power but I've got a massive head. At 25"/64cm I've won every head measuring competition I've ever entered (we had a craze for it at work), stood on the side lines at a go kart track for lack of a helmet that fits and had to get the motorbike shop to order in a 3xl helmet especially. And since I am fairly average build I look like a dalek.

I'm sure there are bigger heads out there but not many.

I have the ability to forget someone's name within 10 seconds of being introduced to them. This superpower comes in very handy at parties as you can imagine!

I forgot about another one I have.

I can accurately describe any wrapped present.

It’s a gift.

I have the power of hindsight.

I’ve been told it’s totally useless.

Of course, I know that now….

I can melt ice cubes just by looking at them.

It takes about an hour normally.

I can make paint dry just by looking at it. I haven't got it down to an hour yet though! Must keep practicing...

I can detect by smell people who have/recently had cancer.

It's a really long drawn out story and started when I was about 7.

Probably the least useless superpower on the thread.

I can predict with almost 100% precision which cars are going to spike massively in price. I have two techniques both of which work perfectly. I either put off buying one at which point they spike or I sell one about 2 months before they spike. So if I sell a car or procrastinate about buying one, buy buy buy.

I can remember all the number plates of the cars that I have passed by, or are in front of me on a journey.

I'd be great if they cloned me and got me to sit on every street corner, fighting crime with my number plate knowledge.

There was a lad at school that could do that, used to amuse all the class.
