    Another awkward sci-fi cliché: applying generic titles and verbs to freaks.

    As usual they left my power classification off the list. I am a "Snacker". I can sense junk food from miles away.


    I have sharpened my skills to the point that I can tell you how many Snickers the store down the block has and if their bags of sour cream and onion potato chips are fresh or not.


    I know that my super power isn't that useful, but it's still a SUPER POWER! And my friends find me damn handy to have around when they get the munchies!

    Didn't they swipe the term "pusher" from firestarter? I distinctly remember the girls father calling his ability pushing.

    No one wants to comment on the fact that the bad guy's name is Digimon? That could be the best part of the movie.

    I saw this trailer before "The Spirt" (Ugh)... And I thought, "More people with powers pursued by the government or some company crap?"...


    I mean, how much more of it do we have to take? Heroes, X-Men, this crap... and much much more. It seems like every time you turn around, there is another group of people who have some powers (usually something to do with their DNA), and some company or government entity either helped create them, wants to harness them for evil, or needs to destroy them because they fear them... BLAH.


    What I want to see is MORE unsinkable ships sink!

    this sounds so much more complex than that other superhero show that dumbs it down by calling all three types Petrellis

    Sadly, movers have yet to learn how to properly manipulate a can of shaving cream.

    Wiper: Wipers use their highly developed telekinetic powers to keep the sphincters of people clean, but woe to you if you cross them as they will prevent you from doing so ever again.

    @NotArthurPDragon: I was kind of thinking that they were just telekinetic hobos that could clean your windshields from a distance. And then ask for change.
