No, but it'd be kickass if I had them. It'd be sucky if anybody else had them, though.

~ I've thought about the phrase 'Money is the root of all evil' and I have to disagree. Evil isn't dependant on an object. I say that want is the root of all evil.
Unless you count Savants, no, not really. Although, normal people can sometimes do some crazy things when they have a lot of adrenaline pumping through them, nothing too superhuman other than barely being able to lift a vehicle for a few seconds.
I said yes. It's not like people would go around advertising their powers. That's why we have comic books and movies.

Certainly not like in that movie, but there are people insanely smart, insanely good at music, INSANE memory(can flip through book, read pages and remember every word for the rest of their life) but no, no being able to move vast amounts of metal with your mind...

If you've ever watched the show Superhuman then you will admit they do exist. They have people who can run forever, stay in temperatures over 300 degrees, and people who can see the future.

Yeah, I remember in the speedsolving forum, where memory is a very important topic, that memory savants were discussed often. The basic consensus there was that there weren't any Rainman-like people out there in terms of pure numbers, but there were people who were really good at memory. Those out there that did have memory like that have either had talent and trained a specific area of their memory (short-term, long-term, physical, mnemonic, Roman rooms, etc.) or were very limited in terms of other skills (so those people couldn't become a genius, and they couldn't really apply their skills that match).
Yes "superpowers" (extraordinary human abilities) do exist. Some of the abilities are controversial and have many fakers which give them a bad name... but there are some things which are proven and cannot be denied. I'd type a long post but I'll give you a video instead:
I would define something super as something physically or mentally impossible, no matter the circumstances.
So lifting a car would be a feat, not a power.
Therefore, super powers might exist, but I cannot see them, because nobody wants to have the chance to be used IF they have them.
So I would probably vote: Not existent.
Would I like them to exist? HELL YEAH!

An empty space is a space to be filled, a space that only you can make wonderful
Or you could trash it with various pictures. It's your choice.
Well does this count, they used to? My prophets in my religion, Islam, they did but I wish they still did exist, I wish. But, but, I do believe of extraordinary abilities, not super powers, like powers... I don't know why I can't explain it, well let me put it in this way: Powers that you get and not you can fly, or stronger, I mean like what Breadlord posted, the video. I don't consider that a "super" power and a girl in india or something was born with a tail and I consider that as a extraordinary ability, not super.

No one would be a friend of invisible (naked) man if they knew he was invisible (naked) man.

I can move rocks... with my hands! (As long as it's not too heavy)
