I seem to always be around lights or street lamps and things like that when they go out. I'll be driving by around dusk or at night and a light that I pass will just suddenly go out. Just a few minutes ago, the ceiling light right above me in our office just went out when I looked up at it. Just a few weeks ago I was changing a light bulb on a light fixture that has never given us problems and it popped.

How can I use this untapped power to my advantage? What if I walk by someone with a pacemaker and they drop dead? Should I make a costume?

Sorry Nitefox, that is not a super hero power, that is a super villain power, one of destructiveness. This ties in well with your portrayal of the Burger King going from Drive-Thru to Drive-By.

To fully utilize this power you need to forsake your loved ones, travel to Metropolis (New York) or Gotham (Chicago) and start pulling incredible crimes leaving all of Times Square in the dark as you steal the receipts of a Knicks Game or a Lady Gaga concert. - go for the concert, more lucrative. With any luck you will be captured humanely and put in Arkham, where you can learn from the brightest and whackiest.

Unfortunately, this means that you have to have a violent and tearful goodbye with your family. Try not to kill anyone please, they seemed like really nice people when I met them.

I have often felt I have the same power, but Cecil says it's all bunk.

If you figure out how to use it, please let me know.

Nah. He's a White Council-level wizard. Stay away from hospital equipment and expensive computers. Also, invest in a landline and rotary phone against the inevitable hexing of your cell phone.

I have this same power. As well, I have the additional power of being able to grow really weird hairs out of my ear. I'm trying to figure out how I can use the latter to fight crime.

I have also thought that I had this superpower in the past.
