Well, sort of. Suppose your physical prowess was suddenly increased to rival Captain America, your strength increased and your reflexes improved to pretty much the human maximum.
What event or sequence of events showed you the difference? I'd like something a little different. Peter Parker jumped out of the way of a car. Barry Allen raced after a cab. Luke Cage punched a wall. Johnny Storm panicked. Rogue kissed someone.
Any thoughts for something different. My first thought was, maybe a baseball game, or a fight?
Thanks for your comments!

How about something simpler or funnier like breaking a dozen eggs individually by accident because you're now so strong. Then trip on a stairwell and be able recover and acrobatically land on your feet. Read the small print of the newspaper another person three seat away from you on a subway. Make it gradual.

I like that one about breaking eggs. The guy reaches into the egg carton and picks up an egg and it explodes because he squeezed it so hard - but he didn't realize he was squeezing at all. I was thinking that everything might seem like it is closer to him than he expects, because he is moving faster than expected - so maybe he reaches for a door handle and smashes it back through the door, because he is still reaching when he should be grasping.
Thanks!

If I'm as fit as Captain America, I'd probably notice it the first time I looked in a mirror. If it doesn't change my appearance, I would probably first notice that I felt more weightless when I walked.

How about a game of frisbee with your dog? Only the frisbee ends up flying straight out of the park, so the dog chases it, and you chase the dog, only to surprise yourself and the dog when you pass, then leap for the frisbee and catch it — 12 feet up?
You might think something is wrong with the frisbee at first, and try to explain away everything else as impossible, so it couldn’t have happened.
Even more interesting if you really never wanted powers in the first place, but things keep on happening to force you to prove the fact that you do have powers after all. Now what?

Visit the local carnival and note how well you do at some of those games. Every ring tossed lands on a bottle without even trying. Every pitch knocks down the milk bottles. Even when they toss you out for "cheating" you realize the grip of those two ogres is shrugged off without much effort.

I like that one, Jon - and it lets him get in a fight, too.
