 --What is your current main character's superpower?

This question from a list of them cracked me up, because I'm pretty sure they meant it figuratively, but for people writing in superhero fandoms it can be quite literal!

I mean, you all know Superman's powers, and I don't see any sign that they're different in the Gaslight world yet. Of course, his REAL superpower is getting people to trust him and have hope. What are your main character's superpowers, figurative or literal?

Ha, ha, Bruce/Dick are in one WIP and have no superpowers! 😍

In my Naked City WIP, Adam's superpower is his sensitivity/compassion, but it can trip him up, especially in this particular story. Frank's superpower is his rock-steady reliability, a highly underrated skill!

Compassion is the BEST superpower! Bruce and Clark both have it in spades, although they express it quite differently, don't they? And you're right, reliability is an underrated and pretty rare skill!
