IDK, but Google told me it was:

"Empath (Manuel Alfonso Rodrigo de la Rocha), is a fictional mutant in the Marvel Universe."

If that's the case than "no". LOL

It isn't so much to be believed but understood by my husband.

Yeah but there is a lot of intuition that goes along with that.

You can have empathy for people but would you take on the physical as well? Say a headache.

Most people are taught to push their "feelings" aside.

Yea no I don't do that. My mom does and it annoys the shit out of me. She's constantly in bed or crying or something stupid because of everyone around her. Get the fuck over it jesus.
