2. Quantity Man

“I can pick up an exact number of things about 70% of the time.

“Say I need 20 bolts or nuts, dip into the tub and pull them out, use them and have none left over. It’s happened enough times that I’ve noticed it, but only really happens when I’m not thinking about it. I’d count it as a superpower, I am QuantityMan (sometimes)” – ich_bin_das_walrus
