Animated Superpowers 2
Question: If you could have any supernatural power… what would you choose?
Amir: What I basically want is that for things to effect me in a way than they oppositely should. Okay, that doesn't make sense. But, what I mean is… If I eat french fries, I will become healthier. The less I shower, the better I smell. Girls are f***ing loving it. Uhh, if someone like hurts me and beats me up, I will get stronger. Jumping off buildings turning into giant humans. By the end of the fight, I haven't done a single thing but I'm like 9'6", 540 pounds, pure muscle. Every six pack I have, has a six pack. So I have a thirty-six pack going. He's just freaking the eff out.
