Superpower: Photographic Muscle Memory
The ability to replicate any physical act after watching it once
Atheletes have to train for years to throw a football perfectly, perform a championship gymnastic routine, or any other athletic skill. A person with Photographic Muscle Memory can perfectly replicate any physical event after watching it only once. This means any martial art move, any Olympic dive, and every perfect free throw is totally inside their range. However, superhuman events are not.
The good:
Become the star quarterback
Become an amazing gymnast
Be a martial artist extrordinare
The bad:
Cannot replicate superhuman feats (i.e. flight)
Can still be hurt
Cannot replicate what you haven't seen

Comments:
Also, any instrument where all parts are visible is open for copying--viola, bass, piano. Instruments where there is a hidden element--brass, woodwinds, etc are beyond this.
Yes, Sylar. You'd have to use your voice as you moved your mouth, though. Not a bad infrence there.

Also, if you could see someone talking but couldn't hear them, could your mouth duplicate theirs so you you would know what they are saying?
Your physical condition does limit what you can do. Mr. Couch Potato may not be able to do some of the things he sees (intense gymnastics or sprints) while a healthier, more active person will be less limited.
Oops, 1st line should read, "Also it doesn't take into ..."
Also I doesn't take into a/c your own physiological limitations. Like, if you are an overweight couch-potato and you watch Usain Bolt run the 100m. While you might be able to copy his running, you won't be as good, because of your physical condition. And you might end up with blown knees and damaged joints since these won't be conditioned for the activity. On that note, you could even get a heart-attack.Or am I way off base with this?

i saw this on heroes
It'd be tough. The ability lets you do the activity, but a bit of active thought would be necessary to adjust to radically different surfaces, wouldn't it? I would say it depends on your familiarity with the power and/or previous experience with the skill you are trying to imitate.
Yeah, but some1 who has trained to do something will be able to adjust to changes in the enviroment, like the differences betw. practising something on sand, compared to a floor... whereas when u copy em, u reflexes will be attuned to floor, so u would be able to adjust for moving on sand, which has more drag?
Naw, the ability lets you have a little leeway. Like if you watch a gymnastics routine, you could do it anywhere with solid ground, not just on a blue mat in a stadium in China.
Quick question, won't u only be able to replicate the physical action under the same conditions as the original or will u be able to have creative control over the reflex? Like if copy a surfing maneuver won't u only be able to do it under the same conditions: wave size, entry speed , angle , etc???
Thank you. I don't mind at all. It's nice to know I'm a homie. With talent, even!
A yo on the real who ever made this ability you got some serious talent, and I hope you can create even better ones cause I'ma use this in ma comic if ya don't mind. Keep It Up homie!
Nice question. You can perform stunts that you have seen in movies or online (i.e. Parkour, martial arts, etc.) but it has to be a real person doing it without special effects. If you tried a Spider-Man leap, it would look exactly like the movie guy did it--for about 2 whole seconds before you fell and went Splat.
Does this pertain to all forms of media such as movies, TV, etc? Or does the action have to be viewed in the first person?
