8 TV Characters That Turned Their Weakness Into A Superpower

8. Bran Stark (Game Of Thrones)

Bran Stark's dream of becoming a Knight of The Seven Kingdoms is destroyed when he is pushed from a tower window, but the 'accident' that crippled him is just the beginning of an important journey.

The accident awakens Bran's ability as a 'greenseer', experiencing meaningful or prophetic dreams. He can also 'warg' to control the minds of animals, or his simple-minded servant, Hodor.

In later seasons, Bran's abilities lead him to become the Three-Eyed Raven, a mystical encyclopaedia of Westeros's memories, and ultimately, the King of The Seven Kingdoms. Beginning as a crippled boy, Bran ends the series as the most powerful man in Westeros, the ultimate victor in the great Game Of Thrones.
