I have evidence that I may have been Spiderman during the 60's.
While most of the powers dissipated by the time I was 30, I still have some residual superpowers and others have come back as I turned 80.
Also, there may have been several of us experiencing this, as I have heard this evidence from other seniors.
Here is my evidence of Residual Superpowers:
1. Web shooter - shoots web strings from wrists
Sometimes after setting down a cup of coffee and moving my hand away, the cup follows my hand and falls off the table. This is due to the invisible, residual web strings randomly shooting out of my wrist and attaching to nearby objects such as coffee cups, boxes of small parts, etc. I have tried repeatedly to call up this power by pointing my wrist at things and saying 'web' or 'shoot' but it doesn't work and I get strange looks from others.
2. Wall clinging - ability to climb up walls with sticky hands and feet.
I frequently get this residual effect when walking across the tile floor in our kitchen in my authentic moccasins with rubber soles. Often accompanied by 'squeaking' sounds as the soles of my moccasins attach the the floor instead of sliding over. Most of the time I don't fall because of my spidey-balance power. This one also occurs randomly and I have no control over it.
3. Spidey-sense - ability to sense danger and other important events in the near future.
I occasionally get a distracting thought of some impending event. Some recent spidey-sense activities are
Are we Out of ketchup?
.
.
Ok, I can't remember any more of these moments, but they do occur randomly throughout the day.
Let me know if you, too, have these or other residual Spiderman/woman powers. Maybe we can form a club.
