"Unreal" is a FPS that started when i was a lad , and has continued in its sequels to this day. Mr Crow, is a standard model in the game , but as a person who has a high level of skill, i wanted a more customized character. ( unfortunately as it moved to consoles, i no longer had this option.)

Sorry for the lack of clarity, i assumed we would have enough hardcore gamers on here to make sense of it.

Never mind.

All we need now is someone to stop in and talk about that time when they were thirteen when the local scribe invented the abacus. :D
 
When Magneto was that age German soldiers were bashing him over the head to protect their fences, I'm hardly impressed by a bit of cutlery.

The spooky gent in the pic i posted, is a character that you can pick to represent you in the video game " Unreal". Being a player that hangs out in the top 5% when the games come out ( which is less and less lately, and hampered by my lack of high speed internet atm.) , i wanted to have a representation that was more customized.

Through technical ninjary, a friend of mine took that basic model, added some different colors, and some different bobbles ( equipment and stuff that is really just for looks.) , and made the facial expression a bit more stern.

Due to the sterner facial features, and due to the fact that he looked like a Hatter ( the job held back in the day.) , i took the Sign in name of Sadhatter, now seeing as 99% of the time, from then till now, the name is not picked, it kind of stuck as my standard Sn.

Thank you.

Good god, you make me feel old. I think I was nine or so when wolfenstein first came out. I was handy enough to make a total conversion of doom 2 when it came out. Quake blew my mind (ACTUAL 3D!). Unreal? I mentally classify that one as "One of the newer ones out", but it's kind of old too, now, ain't it?

You feel old? We must be around the same age, lol. ( 26,)

I mean i was a real doom fan back in the day, as well as all the classics, ( and some not so classics. Blake stone anyone? Project Tenka?) to the point where , yes i ran the doom OS for a bit. But unreal, well that is where my particular skill lays for the past 10 or so years ( as good as doom 3 was, it wasn't really....doom from a skill standpoint.).

Actually, this superpower is sort of achievable if you're willing to have magnets implanted into your body (or at least willing to swallow a few). I doubt it would be very healthy though. And really, why the hell bother? It certainly wouldn't be of much use in a combat zone, unless for some reason you actually want fast-moving metal objects to be more attracted to you than they already are.

I know Wile E Coyote doesn't.

Well, that explains your nic...

@Sadhatter, I think that was a cut off line that was meant to say, "Well, that explains your nice personality." Something about someone who is overweight being set up on a blind date and the common refrain of, "But he/she has a nice personality." Maybe I'm wrong. I read it a few times as well and that's all I could come up with.

As for magneto kid... I feel sorry for people that just accept this sort of thig without putting the slightest thought to this. Plastics? Yep, I have a lot of magnetic plastic lying about!

I had a pong game system when I was a kid. My dad was a salesman for a food wholesaler and he won an award run by a gelatin company for selling more of their product than any other salesman. The award was a pong game system.

He had to the first strip club in America that did jello wrestling in his territory. That sort of put him over the top.
 
Getting back to the OP, here's an article with more pics and a video:

Now, I'm not saying it's not a trick, but it seems to me that sticky skin would not be sufficient to explain this. If those are actual pans, I would imagine they would be somewhat heavy. Plus in some of the pictures you've got stacked pans with weights in them. He seems to be relatively upright.

How sticky would his skin have to be hold that up? For that matter: how strong a magnet would you need to get through all that metal? A relatively strong one I would imagine. He would have metal flying at him from all directions.

I just think the trick is probably more tricky than just sticky skin!

Had to watch the video without sound, but this "power" would be so easy to test. Talcum powder, for a start.

If I had a family member doing that, whether I thought it was a real superpower or knew it was a trick, I'd be dying of curiosity to test its limits, find out more about it. Ferrous metals only? Non-ferrous too? Through clothing? Exact amount of force? (Use a hanging scale to lift an item from a table compared to lifting it vertically from his skin.)

Even if they're gullible, is nobody in his family curious? It makes me wonder if deep down people realize it's not real, and don't want to push it too far.
 
I don't think he's magnetic, it just seems odd to me that sweaty-skin would be sticky enough to hold that weight. Maybe skin is much stickier than I thought. I would think that without something else involved, it would slowly start to peel-off, even if he's leaning back a little bit.
 
It's far from magnetic. Kid is just so fat, that the slope of his belly can hold the objects. Some agents increasing friction could be used, but most people can do this just fine without any.
I recommend trying it .. just pick random spoon, and lay it on your belly, or any appropriate part of the body. I can do it on my belly or breasts .. and almost skinny guy. It holds well even on dry skin. If you get just a 1% sweaty, you can carefully achieve clean vertical.
Just another mom wanna be richer ..
