Voted Other. For me its Spider-Man's webs, but only when I'm in the shower, and the water is flowing off my wrist like the webbing.

I've done the Superman thing without ever thinking it was a Superman thing or related to any comic book power. I just like to see my breath when I exhale at maximum force in the winter.

I don't understand doing the spider man thing if the item doesn't actually come to you. Doesn't serve a purpose.

Opening auto doors with the Force is something I still do every day. From the list though, it's Spidey hands. When we take class photos my students usually throw up peace signs but whenever they don't know what pose to do I have them do Spidey hands.

Not a superhero, but I remember when I was like 8 years old, one day I was baring my teeth and locking up my face and keeping my neck stiff as I pretended for hours to be a Terminator. Like, without the skin.

One of these:

I used to do the wolverine thing as a kid, long before the MCU existed so i always pictured comic wolverine in my mind.
But my favorite to mimic was always

There's a narrow hallway at work lined with stacks of boxes down both sides and yes, every time I walk down it, I pop imaginary claws and slice open the boxes as I go. Bub.

When I'm in the shower I let the water roll down my arm and when it streams off my hand I pretend to shoot the water like Spiderman shoots webs.

When I was younger and more active, I did a lot of three-point landings and general Spidey poses (most of which are just modified Asian squats).

These days I mostly just do Xavier finger-steepling.

The dorkiest thing I did as a kid was probably pretending to do Street Fighter moves when underwater. I can't even imagine how confusing my Psycho Crushers must have looked to everyone else in the pool.

Even today when I walk down the street with strong sunlight behind me I extend 3 fingers so my shadow looks like Wolverine's claws.

I am 39 and have zero regrets.
