Looking for a real-estate agent whose superpowers are visibly evident in the form of piercing lasers shooting out of her eyeballs? Give Patricia Houlihan a call today!

Houlihan, who runs her own "personal real estate corporation" in Vancouver (oh, and she's also a lawyer), put up a single laser-eyes bus-stop advertisement in Burnaby, B.C., a couple of months ago. It took some time, but someone there finally took a photo of it this week and posted the Imgur link to Reddit—where it shot to the front page, as Redditors wondered whether the brilliantly campy creation was possibly real. 

Well, it is.
