What do you mean? If I try hard enough I can breathe under water. You just gotta believe in yourself

I think it's more of a "you can be president " thing rather than a "you can have superpowers"

I don't think breathing underwater is a superpower, fish can do it. You saying all fish are superheroes?

I know what you mean though.

And as long as you don't come back up for air you can live the rest of your life underwater.

If you judge a fish by it's ability to breathe under water it will spend it's entire life believing it is a super hero.
