When it comes to superpowers, their wielders usually catch on fairly quickly: once they've started to leap tall buildings with a single bound or whatever, they know for a fact that they're different from most human beings and recognize their powers. However, there are exceptions. For these few, there is no awareness of their powers whatsoever, even when they're in use. The reasons for this inability are many and varied: perhaps the powers are extremely subtle and can easily be mistaken for random chance, or perhaps the user is Obsessively Normal and in denial, or maybe they're the unwitting victim of a Nightmare of Normality... or maybe they're just really, really stupid. Also, it's not uncommon for these individuals to be lumbered with Power Incontinence, leaving them surrounded by wonders and calamities every hour of the day but unable to explain any of it. Needless to say, central characters with superpowers and no awareness of them rarely remain oblivious for long, especially if the powers are the key to stopping the Big Bad or some other plot-critical purpose. In some cases, the existence of the character's powers may even constitute a major plot twist. May overlap with Oblivious Transformation if the power involves some form of shapeshifting. May involve I Am Who?, where the character in question, in addition to not knowing his own powers, doesn't even know who he is. Compare and contrast I Thought Everyone Could Do That, in which characters are aware of their powers, but are oblivious as to how extraordinary they are by human standards. Compare to Forgot About His Powers, in which the characters have the powers but forgot to use it when needed. Contrast Mistaken for Superpowered, where they do know they have powers... even though they actually don't. Examples |

Unbreakable: David Dunn has preternatural levels of strength, resilience, and health, but because he's never had a reason to seriously push himself, these abilities have gone unnoticed for most of his life. It's not until finds himself as the sole survivor of a devastating train crash that he realizes that there might be something unusual about him — but even then, it takes a note from Elijah Price to make him realize that he's never been sick. It later turns out that he was aware of his powers, having used his strength to rescue his future wife from a car crash, but willingly forgot about them so he wouldn't have to continue his football career, even feigning a Career-Ending Injury to that end. | |

This is the basic premise of Haven. Haven, Maine, is a town full of families with hereditary superpowers, but they come and go in cycles (as part of the show's Myth Arc). They've been gone so long at the start of the series that many of the adults don't remember when they were around the last time, and have been convinced they were just stories meant to to scare children into good behavior. The formula for an episode usually goes: weird stuff starts happening, Audrey and Nathan follow clues to figure out who is making weird stuff happen, that person adamantly denies they're causing weird stuff to happen, they panic at the realization they are making weird stuff happens, that makes the weird stuff worse, and eventually they need to figure out a way to resolve the emotional trigger causing the weird stuff to happen and the person has to deal with the fact they're now Troubled and that (usually) they've killed someone. | |

Heroes: When Charlie first gains her ability of super-memory, she doesn't realize it has anything to do with the recent Mass Empowering Event, simply commenting that lately she's been "remembering lots and lots"—even though she becomes fluent in Japanese after reading a single language book and can recall the credit card information of every customer at the diner where she's a waitress. Monica Dawson ends up with a specific form of Awesomeness by Analysis called "adoptive muscle memory"—she can perfectly recreate any action she sees and is physically capable of doing without even trying. At first Monica doesn't even realize that anything is going on even as she mimics a TV chef's cutting a tomato into a rose shape. Later, when a thief tries to break into the fast food joint where she works, Monica effortlessly defeats him with a wrestling move that she also saw on television, even though she's never wrestled in her life. Unlike most examples of this trope, though, Monica is Genre Savvy enough to realize something's up and eventually determines that she's become a metahuman. |

Monster: Judy is a magnet for supernatural creatures and unwittingly capable of influencing them with her emotions. However, the fact that she's a Light Cog means that she can't remember anything supernatural, so she has no explanation for any of the accidents caused by her powers — leaving her in constant trouble with her parents, teachers, employers, landlords, and the police. Of course, it's a very subtle trait, so even when Monster gives her a memory rune that allows her to remember the supernatural, she still doesn't notice the power until Monster points out that paranormal creatures have shown up at every location they've visited in the last few days. It's eventually revealed that this particular power is due to Judy's nature as the universe's chosen weapon against Lotus. | |

The Sandman (2022): Rose Walker has no idea that she's actually a dream vortex, even though her powers are already active by her first proper appearance in the series. Given that being a vortex only makes her a Dream Walker (at first), she naturally chalks up her experiences to jetlag-induced dreams. After Rose accidentally transports herself into Dream's throne room, Morpheus explains the situation to her, but it's not until she meets Matthew the Raven in the waking world — where he's just as capable of speech as he was in her dreams — that she's finally able to confirm that everything she's discovered in her dreams, including her power, was real. | |

Bernice Summerfield: In "The Ship of Fools", the Big Bad of the tale is a harmless little old lady who is a parody of the regular "old lady investigator" characters of Agatha Christie. It's eventually revealed that she has a psychic ability she did not know about that sent out commands for people to commit murders, which was the main reason she had solved so many in her career. | |

In Constantine, it's eventually revealed that Detective Angela Dodson is psychic but unconsciously suppressed her abilities in childhood after seeing her twin sister Isabel being committed to a mental hospital after her own powers were dismissed as schizophrenia. In the present, Angela is still unconsciously psychic, but despite owing quite a few inexplicable successes at work to this power, she refuses to acknowledge it. However, after gradually learning that Isabel wasn't insane after all and that the supernatural is real, Angela asks Constantine to reawaken her powers — allowing her to identify the half-breed demon Balthazar as the murderer of Hennesy and Beeman. | |

The Seven Deadly Sins: Elizabeth is initially unaware that she has any magical abilities and only becomes aware of them when she unleashes her World-Healing Wave against a demonic Hendrickson during the battle at Liones Castle. Her older sister Veronica reveals that she's been clueless about her powers since childhood, to the point even when Elizabeth healed their father after falling from a tree when she was little, she was still unaware that she had done anything. This takes on a much darker tone later on, as it's implied that Elizabeth was subconsciously ignoring her powers in order to protect herself from her curse, which dictates that if she remembers who she really is, she will die in three days. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-7949 AKA The Calamity Tourist is a Reality Warper that uncontrollably induces random outbreaks of violence and destruction wherever he goes, with the twist that the power only takes effect once he leaves his hometown. Despite a ludicrous number of accidents, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and other catastrophes occurring in every single city he's visited, 7949 remains clueless to both his powers and the violence it induces, to the point of mistaking a mass shooting incident in Cairo for "a local tradition." | |

Supernatural: In "The Heroes' Journey", Sam and Dean discover that they have unknowingly benefited from Plot Armor and Required Secondary Powers their entire lives and all previous 15 seasons of the show, courtesy of God himself. When this ability is removed, their Arbitrarily Large Bank Account (through stolen credit cards) is suddenly taken away, they can get hurt or sick even from tiny scrapes or a poor diet like Dean's, their Cool Car breaks down regularly because it's 50 years old, and even casually picking a lock becomes next to impossible. | |

Halloweentown: Exploited. While Sophie can do things like sense when someone is coming to the house or unconsciously levitate a cookie towards her, her mother purposely makes sure Sophie doesn't realize it's magic, either by hiding the evidence or insisting it's nothing, since she is trying to hide her magical heritage from the kids until the girls lose their powers permanently at 13. Also discussed — Marnie later learns from her mother that she used to use accidental magic without realizing it as well, since Gwen hid it the same way she is doing with Sophie. Played straight with Dylan, who only realizes he has magic in the climax when Marnie points out his fingers are glowing. |

Knights of the Old Republic Early in the game, the player character experiences a variety of strange dreams and visions, while also managing the herculean task of helping a stranded Jedi escape a City Planet occupied by the Sith. The latter sounds like standard fair for an RPG protagonist, but Bastilla reveals that it's because you're actually an undetected Force Sensitive. More specifically, you are the amnesiac Darth Revan, and your powers are starting to reawaken. The protagonist's first companion, Carth Onasi, is an Implied case. He infamously has uncannily accurate Gut Feelings that leave him constantly Properly Paranoid, has a better on-screen piloting record than confirmed Jedi candidate Atton Rand, and can see and understand Force Ghosts. There is a wealth of evidence that Carth is a Force-Sensitive who evaded detection both because of the political consequences of taking a child from Telos, where the Jedi traditionally send their failed candidates, and because they were too busy with the Exar Kun War to focus on identifying potential students. Carth's son was identified, and since Force-Sensitivity is In the Blood, Dustil could have inherited it from either or even both of his parents. Carth shows slightly more awareness when he appears in the second game, indicating he "would know" if someone he cared about was dead or being aware of the Exile's Force wound. |

Second Sight: At the very start of the game, John Vattic is unaware of his psychic powers thanks to his amnesia when he first awakens at the Osiris Medical Facility. Even after he instinctively uses telekinesis to release himself from his restraints, he's so disoriented that he isn't aware of what he just did and doesn't believe that he did anything psychic until the player uses his TK power to unlock his cell door. In "Experimentation," John finds himself trapped in a corridor with an oncoming guard and is left cowering in the corner, praying that he won't be noticed. As such, he's a little bit confused when the guard fails to notice him, completely oblivious to the fact that he just pulled a Jedi Mind Trick on the guy. One of the big revelations of the flashback chapters is that John was a latent psychic all along, but as a professional debunker of psychics, he doesn't believe in his own powers. Even after he somehow detects bombs without even seeing them and notices the astral projections of the Zener Children (which are Invisible to Normals, by the way), he doesn't acknowledge anything supernatural about himself. It takes having his latent powers awakened by one of the Children and having to rescue Colonel Starke with them to get John to finally admit the reality of his own talents. In the final level, it turns out that John's ultimate power is precognition - it's just that he's gotten his perception of time so muddled up that he doesn't realize it. The chapters of the game set in the "present" are actually his visions of the future, and the chapters set in the past are real, hence why he's somehow able to change history. It's not until the second-last section of the level that John is finally able to get to grips with what's happening and harness his powers to stop the Big Bad. |

Xanth: With a setting that runs on One Person, One Power, a character being unaware of their magic Talent crops up in several books. A Spell For Chameleon is about Bink going on a quest to discover why seemingly he is the only person in Xanth without any kind of Talent. It turns out that he is a Reality Warper with a Talent that passively protects him from any magical harm. If he's in danger of dying, his Talent will create a Deus ex Machina to save him, which had been happening all throughout the book and his life. Centaur Aisle introduces Arnolde, a centaur who has recently discovered that magic seems to be leaking past the borders of Xanth into Mundania. What he actually found is his Talent, which creates a narrow corridor in front and behind him where magic continues to work outside of Xanth. Grey Murphy in Man From Mundania is a Flat-Earth Atheist that refuses to believe in magic even after arriving in Xanth. It's not helped by the fact that magic stops working around him. Truthfully, Grey has a Talent — he projects an Anti-Magic field around him. This is because he's the son of the Magician Murphy, who fled to Mundania after his defeat. |

Misfits: Nathan spends much of the first season frustrated at his apparent lack of superpowers. After his death in the season finale, he's shown reawakening inside a coffin, and it's revealed his superpower is Resurrective Immortality. Unfortunately for him, his coffin is already underground, and he remains Buried Alive until the gang come to dig him up in season two. | |

Exalted characters don't always receive their Exaltation in dramatic moments, or even while they are conscious — one Dragon-Blooded character Exalted while having a spiritual dream. Since he was just a kid in boarding school at the time, he thought he was sick and got up to ask for a teacher's help. Fortunately, other students noticed the whirling winds around him before anyone got hurt. | |

The Devil's Advocate: Kevin Lomax is legendary for having never lost a case in his legal career, even though he's also never used methods like plea bargains or picking deliberate winners. He often downplays this, attributing it to natural talent, lax judges, or being able to eavesdrop on juries — though Kevin is unable to satisfactorily explain how he just knows the weaknesses of potential jurors during jury selection. It's not until the end that he discovers that he's actually the son of John Milton AKA Satan, who gleefully points out that supernatural powers are the only possible explanation for Kevin's success. | |

Saitama of One-Punch Man is so comically overpowered that he can defeat any opponent with one punch. He attributes this to his training regimen: 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10k run every day for a year and a half. While this is a fairly intense (albeit unbalanced) routine, it's nothing a normal human couldn't do if they build up to it. Certainly not enough to account for what Saitama is capable of, but he steadfastly refuses to believe he has superpowers. | |

Big Finish Doctor Who: In the climax of "The Holy Terror", it's revealed that the seemingly unimportant scribe Eugene Tacitus is actually an immortal Reality Warper and the Castle is his creation. However, due to a combination of Obsessively Normal tendencies and being trapped in the Castle for eons, he's completely forgotten his powers... even though he's still unconsciously steering the entire course of history. He's not even aware that he's immortal, assuming that he's just the latest member of his family to become the court scribe. "Master" features the Doctor's long-time Arch-Enemy being stripped of his memories and deposited in a backwater human colony so he can have a second chance at a peaceful life. Now known as "John Smith", he believes himself to be an ordinary human being and is able to make a life for himself without knowing that he's an immortal psychic alien. Unfortunately, John's telepathy is still active and under the control of the Master's dormant personality, so people around him begin to demonstrate odd behaviour, the result of his telepathy encouraging them to act on their darker impulses. Of course, John doesn't realize this, and initially attributes the plague of weird outbursts to the "curse" supposedly placed on his house — up until the Doctor finally reveals the truth. |

The Umbrella Academy (2019): A major reveal of the first season is that Viktor Hargreeves (AKA Number Seven) possesses superpowers of his own but is unaware of them due to a combination of brainwashing and suppressant medication. Halfway through the season, the drugs are stolen, but his sonic powers return so subtly that Viktor doesn't even notice them in action at first. Even after he notices that his bad mood has bent every single streetlight on the block out of shape, he's reluctant to acknowledge what happened and needs to be carefully coaxed into accepting his powers before he can be trained in how to control them. Happens again in Season 2: suffering amnesia in the wake of the cataclysmic previous season finale, Viktor is once again unaware of his powers. This time, though, he retains the training he developed in the previous season, so no accidental uses tip him off even after several weeks spent living with the Coopers. It's not until the Swedes attempt to assassinate him that Viktor instinctively uses his powers to deflect a bullet, revealing his powers — and making them very hard to deny, given the resulting crop circle. Thankfully, Number Five shows up soon after to help him come to terms with what just happened. Played with in season 3: Klaus Hargreeves (AKA Number Four) is already aware of his ability to contact and conjure the spirits of the dead. However, he's rather surprised when — after Stanley accidentally shoots him with a harpoon gun — he realizes that he's also had the power of Resurrective Immortality his entire life: Klaus has actually died on no less than fifty-six occasions, but never acknowledged any of them because he was usually too high to make sense of what happened. When asked about this, he remarks that he always thought he was "one of those lovable rascally Looney Tunes characters." |

Harry Potter: Magical children have subtle magic throughout their childhoods, but no conscious control over it. Consequently, Muggle-borns and those raised among Muggles usually have no idea that they have magical powers, nor can they explain the weird things that happen around them — up until the Hogwarts letter arrives. Harry Potter himself turned out to be a somewhat extreme case. Given that his aunt and uncle were Obsessively Normal, he was raised to be normal and shouted at for even talking about anything remotely fantastical, so when Harry started showing signs of magic, he remained oblivious to it even in the face of increasingly ridiculous "accidents" — like flying/apparating onto the school roof in order to escape Dudley and trying to excuse it as the wind catching him. The Fantastic Beasts films reveal that it is a very good thing that Harry was unaware of his powers; children who consciously suppress their magic risk developing an Obscurial, a parasitic magical force that typically kills them before their eleventh birthday and causes a lot of collateral damage. |

Farscape: "Infinite Possibilities Part 2" features John Crichton being given access to the unconscious wormhole knowledge in his head by the Ancients as an emergency measure to stop an incoming Scarran attack. However, Crichton's brain has trouble processing the impossible knowledge, and he initially believes that he doesn't have any ability to actually use it... but then, while Ancient Jack is building the Displacement Engine, Crichton hands him the next component he needs — without even knowing it was the exact one Jack needed. | |

Dragalia Lost: Renee is the youngest of her sisters, all of whom inherited an ability from their father, and believes that she's the odd one out. In reality, she has the power to magically enhance the water she uses to cool the weapons they forge — it's just that she thought she was simply pouring a normal bucket of water. When Renee eventually complains about the apparent unfairness of the situation, her sisters have to explain that regular water can't cool weapons forged in Ramona's magically enhanced flames, acknowledging how impressive it was that she'd been using her powers unconsciously. | |

The eponymous main character of Haruhi Suzumiya possesses reality warping superpowers that she's unaware of — in part because her friends are afraid of what she'll do if she learns about them, though that doesn't stop her from using those powers unconsciously, however. Ironically, she founded a club for searching for espers and other supernatural entities, not knowing that she herself is one. | |

Castle Town Dandelion: Aoi Sakurada knew that as a royal, she would have a super-power — she simply didn't know what it was until she reached middle school, where she discovered through chance that the reason people admired and adored her was due to the fact that she had a Compelling Voice and thus most people responded to a simple request as an absolute order that had to be obeyed. Needless to say, Aoi was horrified, and from then on, always made sure to phrase any requests in such a way that it was clear a person was free to refuse. | |

The Flash (2014): In Season 1, after Barry changes the timeline for the first time, Cisco starts having dreams of the original timeline where he was murdered by "Dr. Wells"/Eobard Thawne. Cisco and the rest believe this is a simple side effect of the timeline change until Wells/Thawne realizes in the season finale that Cisco could have only seen the original timeline through powers gained during the particle accelerator explosion to "see through the vibrations of the universe". Kristen Kramer was introduced as a crusader against metahumans and doesn't realize that she herself has temporary Power Copying abilities. Later on, she uses Super-Speed to save herself and Joe. She admits that she always wondered how she survived during an ambush in Kahndaq when her entire unit was wiped out and realizes that must've unintentionally mimicked her friend Adam's Healing Factor. |

EDENS ZERO: Early in the series, Rebecca is The Team Normal, but gradually develops her own Ether Gear which grants her brief bursts of Super-Speed. Then comes the Belial Goer arc, when things go so badly that The Bad Guy Wins and her friend Shiki is executed in front of her. A week later, the trauma causes her to access her true power, and she suddenly wakes up in a time before everything went wrong. Later, Master Noah informs her that she had always had this power, and had been unconsciously using it every time her life was threatened to Set Right What Once Went Wrong without any memories of having done so. | |

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Before demigods know of their godly heritage, they already have supernaturally enhanced battle reflexes and an ability to read divine Ancient Greek, often diagnosed as ADHD and dyslexia by mortals. They may also get prophetic dreams. Certain demigod children also manifest other unconscious abilities, depending on their godly parent. Percy, son of Poseidon, displays unconscious hydrokinesis twice in The Lightning Thief, once against Nancy Bobofit and once against Clarisse during Capture the Flag, not realizing he caused it until he was claimed by Poseidon. |

Adventure: The game features three types of "Inspired" from a Mass Super-Empowering Event. Two types, the Mesmerists and Stalwarts, have clearly developed greater than human capabilities but the third type, the Daredevils, are instead unconsciously altering probability to allow them to improbably survive and succeed in their Two-Fisted Tales approach to life. Only a few people have concluded that something paranormal is going on and most Daredevils are just chalking it up to being Born Lucky. | |

The Wheel of Time: A minority of channelers can wield the One Power with no training, sometimes completely unawares. Unless they're taught, they tend to have limited Psychoactive Powers and a poor survival rate. The protagonist spends the first book unaware that he's intuitively channeling to save himself from danger. He doesn't even connect the dots when a man threatening him is struck by lightning indoors. Nynaeve first used the One Power to heal Egwene of a deadly fever. Since all she knew was that the fever broke, she didn't realize she was a channeller until years later. |

The Power: Early in the film, Doctor Hoffman's anonymous intelligence tests determine that one member of the think tank is actually a psychic supergenius; soon after, Professor Jim Tanner and the rest of the team find themselves terrorized by an individual known as Adam Hart, the supposed supergenius. The climax reveals the supergenius that Doctor Hoffman's tests uncovered was actually Tanner himself, and Hart was an outsider attempting to eliminate potential competition. Jim has been subconsciously using his own powers throughout the film without ever knowing he had them, only realising his true capabilities in the final confrontation when he starts fighting back. | |

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords: Mira's success as a bounty hunter is at least partly due to the fact that she's another undetected Force Sensitive, allowing her to track down her targets no matter where they might be hiding — to the point of finding the Exile ahead of all the other bounty hunters on Nar Shaddaa. Mira isn't actually aware of this power, describing her intuition in too vague a sense for her to recognize anything overtly supernatural about it. As such, the Exile has to help her consciously attune herself to the Force before she can begin training as a Jedi... or a Sith. Indeed, many of the Exile's companions fall under this heading. Brianna the Handmaiden has heard her Mistress's holocrons talking (something that is a sign of strong Force Sensitivity in lore). Bao-Dur's Machine Empathy turns out to be the way his Force gift manifests. And Atton knows he's a Sensitive by the time he meets Exile the way he found out was because he was very good at masking himself in the Force with strong emotions and a talented Jedi killer/torturer. His last victim warned him that his superiors were on the cusp of discovering it. Atton manually strangled her to death and ran. Played with in the final levels of the game: the Exile is aware that they're an ex-Jedi that's only just managed to regain their powers, but it's not until the end that it's explained why they got their powers back. It turns out that all the usual RPG mechanics — levelling up, relationship values, even experience points — are the result of you being a Force black hole thanks to your experiences at the Battle of Malachor V, and you've been unconsciously draining power from your allies and encounters in order to regain your power — and increase it tenfold. |

Yamara: After a story arc in which she temporarily gains godlike power, Yamara wishes 1)for Blag to fall off a cliff after he annoys her, 2)for the followers who'd started a new religion around her to have "the best things in life" and 3)for Blag to return from wherever he's disappeard to so he can pay back the money he owes her. All these things occur behind her back. Then, she finds out that she'd been granted three wishes... | |

Game of Thrones: Daenerys Targaryen has a unique ability to tolerate heat that ultimately extends to surviving total immolation — but spends most of the first season unaware of it. In the first episode, after getting felt up by her brother Viserys, she climbs into a steaming hot bath without noticing the temperature, apparently too intent on Scrubbing Off the Trauma to pay attention to the alarmed reaction of a nearby servant. In "A Golden Crown," however, one of her handmaidens burns her hands on a red-hot dragon egg that Dany had previously lifted bare-handed without suffering any discomfort, and Dany finally realizes that there might be something genuinely extraordinary about her. | |

Downplayed in Danny Phantom episode "Urban Jungle" when Danny finds himself inexplicably cold for some reason, to the point that it hinders him in battle and that he causes nearly everything he touches to freeze. It's only when he goes to an ally ghost of his, Frostbite, that he learns he's actually manifested a new ghost power. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Usually averted as Randomly Gifted people are often detected very early due to the Imperium's attitude towards psykers. If they aren't lynched by their fellow citizens, they are tithed off to the Black Ships for further processing. A very small number of psykers either aren't aware of their powers, somehow manage to keep them under enough control not to be noticed, or manifest them in ways that aren't obvious, such as being "lucky" or having sudden intuitions. | |

El Goonish Shive: Tedd Verres was identified as a child as having no magic potential, which was particularly unusual and disappointing for the child of two spellcasters. This caused him to experiment with Magitek in his teens. In spite of this, other characters and readers noticed Tedd glowing when having a particularly strong emotion or insight, which he was oblivious to. He later discovered his ability to see and understand magic at a glance, which he had been using throughout the comic, was not normal and that his Magitek watches were actually wands that only work under his own power. His magic potential was misidentified because his abilities were rare and his spell resistance was too strong as a child for the detecting device to get an accurate read.note, also spoilerSaid device being vacuum-cleaner noisy didn't help, as it's the reason Tedd was instinctively raising his magical defenses in the first place... which he still reflexively does whenever he hears it. Diane discovers she has been unconsciously using magic to enhance her own charisma for years, due to her half-elf heritage. She also doesn't initially realize she can sense magic, which manifests as a taste of pancakes, until Tedd mentions hearing her elf father could do it, and has yet to discover her ears turn pointy when she does this. |

Men in Black II: Laura turns out to be a Half-Human Hybrid of a human and an alien — the human most likely being Agent K — and the Light of Zartha that Serleena's been hunting for the entire film. K proves it by pointing out she doesn't get sad when it rains, it rains whenever she's sad — as it did after Serleena murdered Ben earlier in the film. | |

Jumper kicks off with main character Davy unconsciously using his teleportation powers to escape being beaten by his father. However, because he only Jumped into the fiction section of his local public library, Davy initially thinks he just suffered a trauma-induced blackout and simply walked to the library before he regained awareness. He immediately follows this up by running away from home, so he doesn't realize the truth until two weeks later, when a truck driver he was hitchhiking with tries to rape him — and Davy instinctively Jumps all the way back to the library, well after closing time, making it abundantly clear to him that this wasn't a blackout. | |

In The Legend of Dragoon, it's revealed that the legendary Moon Child has the unconscious power to indoctrinate everyone around it into its worshippers — hence why the Black Monster kills not only the Moon Child but everyone around it at the time of its birth. In the present, the current Moon Child is unaware of this power and her true nature, even as complete strangers fawn over her with increasing frequency. She's none other than Shana, Dart's friend and fellow team member, and everyone on the team likes her — including Rose, the Black Monster herself. | |

Wild Cards: Gimcrack is a kind-hearted Manchild who is Literal-Minded and naive to the point of believing everything he sees in ads. However, as a result of his Wild Card mutation, his specialized Reality Warper powers causes this stuff to come true for him: for instance, his powers make it so the present he asked Santa Claus for actually appears on Christmas morning. It's also impossible to convince him that he is a superhuman: if you point out that penis enlargement products only work for him and nobody else, he'll just say that's because other people can't follow the instructions properly. Tom Tudbury, AKA The Great and Powerful Turtle, has been an immensely powerful telekinetic since childhood. However, as a kid, he didn't realize there was anything special about himself, believing that his pet turtles could just fly on their own. He only figured out that he was a superhuman after a school bully's dog killed one of his turtles; one of his classmates saw him telekinetically throwing the dead turtle's body at said bully, and asked him "How did you do that?" Dr. Cody Havero, Chris Claremont's main character in Wild Cards, is heavily implied to be a superhuman unaware of her own power. While ostensibly a Badass Normal, she seems to have a sort of superhuman luck that only kicks in when she is shot at, causing the bullets to miss her: even when she walks into a veritable rain of bullets, the worst that can happen is that she will have Only a Flesh Wound. Wild Card powers are manifestations of subconscious desires, and Cody was a Combat Medic in the Vietnam War, so being able to ignore bullets to help people seems to have been her heart's desire. |

Fantastic Four: In John Byrne's classic run on Fantastic Four (1961), there is one story where an absolutely ordinary middle-aged man is actually a nigh-omnipotent Reality Warper. He remains unaware of this throughout the story, never realizing that the small lucky breaks and coincidences around him are caused by his power. At one point, he even speeds up time so that the weekend will arrive sooner. In the climax of the story, he spends all his power to fix the Earth when it's destroyed in a battle between Ego the Living Planet and the Fantastic Four, becoming truly an ordinary man, while everyone (including himself) remains unaware that planetary destruction has been overwritten. | |

Charmed (1998): Prue in the pilot. After Phoebe discovers the Book of Shadows and unlocks their magic, Piper and Prue both dismiss the idea as impossible. When Piper's powers manifest, the entire room freezes, making it incredibly obvious, but Prue's telekinesis is more subtle, doing things like strangling her obnoxious ex with his tie while her back is turned. It isn't until later that she summons the cream for her coffee and watches it magically transfer into her mug that she acknowledges that something supernatural is happening. Paige Matthews lost her adoptive parents in a car accident when she was a teen, spending years wondering why she was the lone survivor. In "A Paige From The Past", adult Paige discovers she had orbed herself out of the car before it exploded, even though she hadn't even known she had magic then. Leo tells her that even though she didn't know, she had the magic inside her all along. |

Throughout both games, Ethan attributes his feats of survival entirely to the first aid fluid, never realizing the truth even in the face of increasingly unlikely victories. It's not until he survives having his heart ripped out by Mother Miranda that Ethan belatedly realizes his true nature. | |

I Dream of Jeannie: In "My Turned-On Master", Jeannie agrees to transfer her powers for 24 hours so that they have no problems of her being tempted to use them at the embassy dinner that night. However, she doesn't tell Tony that she transferred them to him. Thus, Tony spends the episode unknowingly granting wishes by expressing casual desires and observations i.e. accidentally supercharging a gardener's motorised lawnmower by remarking "it sounds more powerful than my car," causing it to shoot off out of control taking him along for the ride. When Tony finally starts to notice, he assumes it's Jeannie messing with him until she flat out tells him, by which point he's already accidentally given them to Dr. Bellows (who does quickly notice, but Tony is able to convince him it's all a hallucination from working too hard and manipulates him into giving them back whilst he's none the wiser). | |
