Be able to recite everything they've ever read, yet unable to recall relevant information on demand.

The power to have the entire universe on the tip of your tongue...

Walk through social constructs as if they were air.

Obliterate objects by hyperfixating on them.

Drive villains mad by monologuing intensely at them about radio tower structural design history.

I threw those words together at random, but reading it back I got very excited to learn about it. Luckily, Wikipedia has some meat on the matter: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_masts_and_towers

He can be a savant in a single domain of his choosing, but he can never read the room well enough to choose the right one.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just be a savant at figuring out the best kind of savantism to pick, ez

They handling logistics for all the other super heros. All the mundane shipping, messaging hundreds of vendors, working with local government to handle events they do this all from their computer. Trello is their secret weapon. Know one knows their true identity, but no one knows their super hero identity either. They never leave the house. Their sidekick is just an ordinary cat.

But without them the world wouldn't last a day.

> stop right there, Dr Euphemism. More than simply a nuisance, I am an active opponent of your plans. And you cannot "make sure" someone has an "accident" - then it becomes a deliberate act.

Super Too Much: gets more everything than everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Extreme levels of social awkwardness and the innate ability to infect/inject other people with it temporarily. An angry mob is throwing bricks in the streets? Let Sup-Aut talk to them for five minutes and everyone will be so uncomfortable that they'd rather go home than rioting. Sup-Aut is especially effective because they, too, would rather go home soon that continue standing in the spotlight, so these encounters usually take all of five minutes until the respective issue is resolved.

Weakness: everything they get told to resolve has to be done either RIGHT NOW and completely unprepared, or they'll procrastinate and prepare until the city burned to the ground. There is no middle ground between these extremes, and it is impossible to predict which one will happen.

He is a surgeon He is a surgeon He is a surgeon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't get it. What's the spirit of this joke?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's a very dumb joke , making fun of a dumb tv show call the good doctor. The writers decided to write a show about a young autistic surgeon, and also decided that his only personality trait would be being a surgeon. There is a scene where he is fired, has a mental breakdown and keeps yelling " I am a surgeon".

Mostly a dumb joke, making fun of writers who wrote the main character of a show based solely of one idea, with no character at all.
