Alfie O'Meagan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfie O’Meagan is a fictional comic book supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe. He was the main villain in Nth_Man:_the_Ultimate_Ninja written by Larry Hama. His first appearance was in Marvel Comics Presents in 1988.

Alphie O'Meagan (his adopted name) is first portrayed a a child, with various psychic abilities including clairvoyance and precognition. He calls his visions the "could-be's" and can somehow allow others to see them as well, especially his only childhood friend John Doe. As Alphie grows older, his powers vastly increase, giving him abilities such as mind control, teleportation, and telekinesis which can re-arrange molecules on a massive scale.

Alphie is troubled by nightmares as a child, and his strange behavior and the odd events which occur around him cause him to be victimized by both orphanage bullies, and the drunk and abusive man who runs the orphanage. While comic books serve as a means of escape, eventually he realizes that his powers can be used for revenge against his tormentors.
