What's your superpower?

I have two superpowers:
Mosquitoes don't find me delicious. When everyone else is getting hammered, they generally leave me alone. When I do get bit, the bites barely swell and they don't usually itch.
Rock star parking- Anywhere I go, I always check out immediately in front of the place I need to be. There's almost always an empty spot, and if there isn't there's someone just leaving that I pull into. I dunno how that helps me fight crime, but it sure would be useful if I were a bank heist getaway driver.

You an I... We are either going to form an unstoppable super team or... You ate going to end up as my nemesis.
You sleep a lot and I do everything? Doesnt sound very nice to me, tho in FF14 there is a quest chain where one guys is always awake and his 'wife' sleeps for him because of a magical item.

Idk your wife, but I would feel like that's a very intimate connection to share that you have with her. I could see it going a number of ways, of course. But what's kept you from sharing with her, overall? If you don't mind me asking
I think she would be mortified if she knew I knew.

It could come in handy if you took up archery.
That's true.

If I read something my brain stores keywords/phrases to it anywhere from 30min to years. Sounds super normal (I think, least for 30min), but this has served me really well in two areas.
- Tests. As long as it's a knowledge test and not a skill test I can skim read right before (even if it's like 100 pages and I didn't learn any of it before) and pass (for multiple choice grade is usually in the 90s, write-in is more 80s). Only professional place I use this outside of school is the bullshit PowerPoint "training" at work that makes you take a test at the end... (I don't work an office job, idk might be more useful there)
- Online message chats. Great for looking stuff up like birthdays or preferences or someone told me something specific a year ago and now wants to talk about it in-depth and I have to go refresh on the exact health conditions of their dog while they're grieving to me (I mean I could ask for a refresher, but when a friend is needing a comforting ear I'd rather just search it up quick while they type instead of making them back track their narrative which when you feel upset feels really alone someone can't be right there in the moment with you off the bat, just a small way to care for my friends). Mainly though I do text DND and it's amazing there lol. Had an unintentional tpk and offered a restart with memories (deus exmachina literally time rewind) which my group was into. I'm like shit we've been running this campaign for years, how am I going to remember the exact fight setups, initial NPC reactions, etc. I had a very specific search phrase for every event memory logged and made the whole thing a breeze to re-do literal years of content. And tbh I think I enjoyed it even more than my players cause I'd go back and reread their early murderhobo days and then get to freshly compare it to their evolved anarchist present (...I mean they were still murderhobos, but brought a tear to my eye to compare they'd learned some principles and loyalty lol).

supe name: The Ductator!
I love it because at first you think hey, it is a play on Dictator, which must mean the superpower is being able to psychically control an army of ducks, which if I could choose which animal I could mind control with my super power I wouldn't choose ducks but sure, take what you can get right? There are after all ducks everywhere so there is probably some angle you can play with your super power there.
Nope though, keep lowering your expectations.

I am not very desired by mosquitoes as well. I am bit if there are no other options, but I have no problems if others are with me.

Hyper-compartmentalization. Everything can be falling apart around me, high stakes, emergency, danger, but I just proceed calmly and steadily toward the goal. I am a rat in a maze, and each decision is just an ab node in a tree. I make best guesses and don't shoulda woulda. If I can't make it and everything is horrible, that was the outcome, I did the best I could with the knowledge/data given, or I put in what I felt was right, and if I'm wrong, oh well.

I'm able to predict when Holes, starring Shia Labeauf, is about to air on Disney Channel. If I have a strong desire to watch the movie, odds are it's about to air. I was able to do this for years.
I no longer watch cable tv. This power is vestigial. Nowadays when I have a strong desire to watch Holes, I just watch Holes.

I can sometimes see auras around people. It's fascinating stuff, but the strain of it can cause debilitating pain.
Western medicine calls it "migraines", but what does science know?

What else do you expect eating spoiled food? Am just curious.

Never considered this to happen I have to admit.
Always thought it's more some allergic reaction to food. -
I prefer music without vocals. Not sure if the Synesthesia is the cause. But my Synesthesia doesn't trigger on voices, which is an interesting way of showing that speech and sounds are processed differently in the brain.
The only way that voices trigger my synesthesia is when I can't speak the language and it's all just "gibberish noise" for me
The language thing is fascinating to me, thank you for sharing
