Superpowers

I read comic books as a child. I've seen many of the comic movies that have proliferated in recent years but Lady Justice (formerly Jive Turkey) just likened being smart to having a superpower. I immediately laughed at the analogy but when I thought about it some more it made lots of sense.

Look at how the smart constantly try to hide their identity, seeing arthouse movies at odd hours of the day and constantly shying away from the more menial brands of office interaction in their workplaces. And the smart can easily manipulate and change the course of their lesser beings with the flick of the proverbial switch in the head.

I now understand that I have been given a power. The question is to understand how to use it.
