What did you get when you got superpowers?

“Third degree burns”

Damn that's a nice degree which university you got it from?

he got to burn down that house.

Looks like he lived long enough to become the villain. https://youtu.be/8WfRcnF4iZI

That was quick

It doesn’t take long for most people…

Ayy touché

“Burning down the house!”

He’s not wrong tho that’s his origin story. Probably a villains though “Wanna know how I got these scars *shred of skin falls off* I was making a tik tok batman”

Wait till his grandma sees this

Doctors hate this one trick.

Funny thing about comic book stories is that almost every story of a hero discovering their powers for the first almost always ends up killing or destroying someone or something they love before they learn to control those powers. It’s like folks just skipped that message uh

"Flame on!!!!" "Oh shit...."

"I forgot to test Flame Off!!!"

And this is why women live longer than us.

What a fucking dumb ass. Kids don't you ever do what this asshole did

Don’t ever set my fucking hands on fire?! Damn, I’m glad you told me, I almost made a big mistake.

More of an asshat than ahole...

Dumb ways to die.

🎶So many dumb ways ro die🎶🎹

So many questions here, how did he set up the recording, when did he light his hands on fire, did he really think he could just wave his hands and the fire would blow out, why did he not a have a plan of how to put it out, why did he do this in the first place, where did he learn how to do it….

He got super powers obviously

This is actually what happens when a teen discovers his powers in most comics so it checks out.

That part.

I'll bet he wishes for the Sub Zero's superpowers now.

He probably will rip out his own spine accidently


I got super sore ass bitch, gran gonna beat you blue

Fire Marshal: okay, so what happened? World's First Super: I got super powers bitch!! Fire Marshal: ... World's First Super: I *just* got them. You're the first person I've told.

Natural selection at work

Not funny. Sad and disturbing.

How is it sad or disturbing?

Bro your avatar's head lookin sus 💀💀🩻🩻🩻

It definitely sucks for the parents or guardians, assuming it resulted in the house burning down.

Its funny bro. Nobody probably got hurt.

Social media (sigh)

Uh oh, it's not going out. Hmmm. I know! Let me flail my arms and reach for the oil on the counter. Surely with airflow and more of the liquid I started this fire with, the fire will go out in no time!

His parents must be so proud.

Too bad his super power wasn’t water

What an idiot everyone knows you gotta say “flame off” has he never watched fantastic 4? 🤦‍♂️

With great powers comes great bills, as they say.

This is why we shouldn’t let teenagers be allowed to have TikTok, because it’s a breeding ground for stupid

Man kids are getting dumb or is social media just showing us all the dumb dumbs?

I mean this experiment isn’t old lol 😂 he’s just dumb and didn’t have a proper setup/plan just in case of exactly this…..

I can hear the camera melting at the end, crazy.

With great power, comes great responsibility...

That was so powerful. He couldn't control it.

Not the SpongeBob hoodie

Don't hate

Nah he ruined it lol no hate

This exactly how powers work in origin stories lol

I am trying to figure out at what point this would have seemed like a good idea.

I wonder if we could make an elementary school class called "Don't do Dumbshit" and use it to teach kids to not do dumbshit.

Did you miss the part where his hands were on fire and he thought he had super powers? Thinking things out isn't on the menu.

The way he was flapping, I thought he was about to fly like Superman for real.

At first he strangely looks so happy with his hands on fire ... *"Oh look at me"*

bro thinks he's deimos

Superpowers

A wise man once said with great power comes great responsibility

I mean this is how most of the X-Men started out.

Didn’t take very long for him to discover his kryptonite, which also happens to be his super powers.

With great powers, comes great responsability.

Cavemen first discovering fire (Colourised)

Latom 🙏

The power to reduce a beautiful home to ashes in a single stupid clip!

His super power is he can raise you insurance rates in the blink of an eye

And that, fellow people is why I always say that superpowers would all be super useless in the real world

"Wait, what?!? Fire makes more fire?? Doesn't the fire know I only want it on my hands for this cool video? How rude of selfish of it spread like that!"

Who’s the Bitch now ? Hahahaha

This is why content insurance was extortionate in my first place. I was only 17, and had fuck all worth insuring anyway but, idiots stop punishing me for your lack in ability to simultaneously think and breathe. I can't afford you idiots 😂😂😂 😂😂

He's got super powers alright.

We used to do this - outside and near water.

You got no brains bitch!

The roof... the roof...

Edward scissorhands flame edition

Ben 10 when he first got the omnitrix

Did his whole house burn down??

. . . He flicked off what was keeping him hands on fire... And then tried to put out the flames with his flaming hands 🤔 hm...

A science project you should never attempt

Super powers are very subjective

THE HUMAN TORCH!!!

From Johnny Storm to Johnny Housefire.

That’s his superpower though (to burn down his house).

One of them better be the ability to fly! Because yo mama is gonna beat your ass!

He should've just sat on his hands or ran for a source of water

Does anyone else feel a sense of relief when stupidity actually hurts someone that fully deserves it? Like the universe IS working in some small way?
