The gospel goes that he did not realize he had superpowers and was a regular teenager with issues so he grew out of it later. What's wrong with that? It could be possible.

Tracy B, at least you didn't post yourself as a source.
Thomas is in the Bible. Does "doubting Thomas" ring a bell?
The Gospel of Thomas is considered one of the so-called "lost books of the Bible," books that because of internal contradictions, questions of authenticity, or failure to align with the doctrines of other books of the Bible were rejected, and therefore not canonized. They are also variously called "noncanonical" or "spurious" writings.
I have read most of the "lost books" and find 98% of them to be variously amusing and boring, but certainly not legitimate.
Some are merely derivative of books already in the Bible, or they retell the same doctrines or stories, so they really don't add anything.

The Gospel of Thomas was considered with many other Gospels as fallable and was written too far after the time of Christ to have any merit and was left out of the bible.

I believe this is one of the reason, the Gospel of Thomas was rejected by the people that canonized the Bible.

Thomas is a gnostic gospel probably written several hundred years after the canonical gospels. Still, it's an interesting read and contains some food for thought, not least about how we should read canonical Scripture.

No. It was not in the "Gospel of Thomas" which was written by Didymos Judas Thomas the apostle. The story you are refering to is in the "Infancy Gospel of Thomas" which was not written by the apostle, but has been falsely attributed to him.

No. The gospel of Thomas was discovered in 1945; it says no such thing and it is considered apocryphal in Christian circles.

I have never heard of the gospel of thomas and I doubt that there is any truth to it...

No there is no truth to that. Jesus' mother and earthly father raised him to love God. Plus Jesus was perfect. Like adam and eve before the forbidden fruit. He probly didn't have thoughts like that.

The way I heard it was Jesus was accused of throwing a boy off a roof,the boy died.Jesus resurrected Him and asked did I push You the boy said no,I jumped.All Jesus did was bring Him back to life.

I don't know, the bible says that if they were to have wrote down everything that Jesus said and did that the world its self could not contain the books.
I supposed he was labeled a trouble maker by those who could not recognize him as the Messiah.
