As a kid, I often fantasized about having a superpower. It's true that I may have spent too much time with my older (and male) cousin, but the idea of being "special" like one of Professor X's mutant wards was an attractive fantasy. Judging by the popularity of X-Men, I probably wasn't alone in my yearning. The comics and movies, however, have done more than allow people to escape reality via superhero material. Over the last year the X-Men have inspired some seriously clever memes on Twitter - something that's a bit more relevant to our adult (and extremely online) tastes. 

The memes generally follow the format of Professor X asking about a person's superpowers. The jokes riff on some pretty unimpressive skills or mutations, and the clever jokes unfold from there. While many of these are a bit less than fresh, the format has been seeing a comeback over the last month. We hope to see more of this smart humor, but in the meantime, we've rounded up some of our favorite examples of the meme. Maybe that's our superpower. 

Nearly everyone from both sides of the political spectrum have fun with Trump memes. And occasionally an idea rolls around that's so simple and pure, it makes us forget the ominous and unstable times we live in ---- this is one of those ideas. SNL Writer Josh Patten has taken trolling Donald Trump's stubbornly endless stream of fleeting thoughts, occasional announcements concerning the state of world affairs, and not-so-rare incendiary cultural commentary....to new heights by pretending like he's having a personal texting convo with DJ Trump himself. The resulting hypothetical texting correspondence is alarmingly believable, and entirely hilarious. 

Which vegetable will come out on top?

Donald Trump's kept it pretty low key on Twitter in recent days. That didn't stop him from penning a little St. Paddy's Day sentiment though. If only he'd spell checked before sending it off though. Then again, would we expect anything less than this from the guy with a wide-reaching, well-developed reputation already for spelling shit in his own language incorrectly?

Yeah, yeah, we know. Here are some Trump Memes to smooth it over.

Cats do truly have a tendency to find themselves in places that they have no reason to be. They'll sit in weird places, like your ceiling fan, and they'll show up in places that they are deeeefinitely not welcome, like on a runway or on a football field. We see them there, and we're shocked for a moment, but then we're like haha yeah, they're cats. 

An up an coming twitter user by the name of Cats Where They Shouldn't Be, @catsnoplace, has decided to purrsent just that - all of the funniest, most ridiculous places cats find themselves in. And we enjoyed going through them so much, we're decided that you should definitely get to laugh at these kitties too.
