Complete DVD/Film List
Professor Charles XavierReading Other People's Minds -
Just Like:
Professor X, Buffy in Season 3 (episode 18)
The Coolness: People cannot lie to you. You know the best price a car dealership would go, and you're always one step ahead of the people you play chess with.
The Burden: Keeping your own thoughts seperate from others. It almost drove Buffy the Vampire Slayer nuts and she has full scale super powers.
Danger: Most men who can read minds are totally bald.
Jeannie.Genie-Like Magic -
Just Like:
Jeannie, Jafar
The Coolness: Cool clothes, eternal youth, tricking innocent "masters" into wasting wishes.
(Puff of Smoke)
"... and what would your third wish be?"
"Third wish? That's Odd. How about making all women love me?"
"Done... Funny that was your first wish too!"

The Burden: Being trapped in a bottle, serving another. As stated by Aladdin's genie "... phenominal cosmic power, teenie weenie living space"
Invisible Man, a ClassicInvisibility -
Just Like:
Susan Storm/Richards (The Invisible Girl)
Claude Rains (The Invisible Man)
Romulan Cloaking Device
The Coolness: Better than being a fly on the wall. You don't have to wear clothes. You really shouldn't wear clothes, now that we've mentioned it, unless your clothes are invisible too.
The Burden: People forget you when counting heads while ordering pizza. It's not as bad when ordering Chinese food, since people are sharing anyway.
Rodan, thinking on a mountaintopThe Power To Fly -
Just Like:
Superman, David Blaine, Silver Surfer, Birds (except penguins)
The Coolness: Gas prices don't matter to you. You can trick professional carnival weight guessers and win the biggest prizes.
The Burden: Bugs in your teeth. Dodging planes if you're not invulnerable.
Danger: Cape can get caught on antennae, towers or jet engines.

1-2-3-4 Leafs on the cloverIncredible Luck -
Just Like:
Charlie Bucket, Kevin Federline, Ferris Bueller and his clone, Parker Lewis.
The Coolness: A very underestimated power, you never have an "off" day, or get up on the wrong side of the bed. You can take a cab ride anywhere on the continent, and just reach in your pocket for the full payment, including the generous tip.
Have a big test at school today that you didn't study for?
That big, sudden snowstorm should do the trick.
Want to stop a predicted rainstorm?
EASY! Just wash your car.
The Burden: n/a

Actual  Photo of Albert EinstienGreat Intelligence -
Just Like:
Reed Richards, Braniac, Michael T. Weiss
The Coolness: You answer the questions on Jeopardy faster than anyone else in the room. Since you are always right, people believe you, so you are really good at practical jokes.
The Burden: Super-smart people tend to be oblivious to the world around them. They often have terrible love lives. People always ask you "why you're not on that Millionaire Show". Worst of all, when you screw up, it usually makes the lead story in that evening's newscast.
Superman, ala Alex rossInvunerability (including nigh-invulnerablity) -
Just Like:
Superman, Ultron, the Tick
The Coolness: You could do that "cannonball to the belly" trick any time, and you could rent yourself out at parties for wacky contests. As long as your teeth and tummy were invulnerable, you could eat anything you want. That carnival "goat boy" job would always be available to you.
The Burden: Shaving would be a drag of course, as would every haircut. You could never do that "If you cut me, do I not bleed" speech and be taken seriously.
Danger: Some "impervious" items are subject to destruction when exposed to water, according to visitor G. Jetson.
He Eats His Spinach!Super Strength -
Just Like:
Popeye, Hulk, Superman
The Coolness: Lifting a car over your head impresses the ladies, and even some men. If you are very careful, you can open that stuck jar of pickles at the party.
The Burden: You can't use a remote control, drink from a champagne glass, open doors, open a can of your favorite beverage without making a mess, wind your watch, pull the string on a talking toy, clean dishes, open windows, turn pages in a book or hug anyone.
X Ray SpecsX-Ray Vision -
Just Like:
Superman
The Coolness: Knowing when the last of your favorite beverage is in the fridge. You would be, without exception, the greatest "Hide and Seek" player on the planet Earth.
The Burden: Covering your head with a blanket won't stop you from seeing the monster(s) in your room. Without that smooth skin on the outside, it would be pretty "icky" just seeing the insides of people all the time.
Spider SenseSpider-sense (premonition) -
Just Like:
Spiderman (Spider-Man for you purists), Phoebe Halliwell (Charmed)
The Coolness: You seldom lose bets and never get sucker-punched. You will also win nearly any game of truth or dare.
The Burden: About half of the people with this power get a splitting headache when it occurs. Sometimes the power can take away the wonder of mysteries, both in fiction and real life.
Danger: Without surprises, life can be pretty boring.

Pop Culture Madness is your one-stop information location for Popular Culture, Popular Music, Trivia, Jokes and a bunch of other stuff! We update our Pop Culture News daily and our Pop Music section has hundreds of pages featuring the best and worst songs of all time. Our aim is to maintain a family-friendly, "PG" site. We have no swearing and no gory stuff, although some humor may need a creative explanation for younger visitors.
Pop Culture Madness is your complete trivia resource. Click on our Home page for oddball trivia or our Trivia section for our ever-expanding organized trivia categories.
Our motto: "All The Pop Culture News That Fits, We Print!" We are adding more information daily. Well, semi-regularly. If you don't see a link for what you're looking for, then it's your responsibility to write something up, and send it in. WE NEED WRITERS!!!

By the way, PCM does NOT allow sneaky spyware. Nor do we link to sites that have excessive Pop-ups, spyware or inappropriate (all ages) material. If you find one, please let us know and they are toast!
Also, since we don't "sell out" to those Pop-up advertisers, and we're too proud (so far) to ask for donations, we'd like to proudly point out some of our carefully chosen advertisers throughout the site. They have some cool stuff that should be sitting in your room, or wrapped like a present for a friend.
Please check 'em out!
