Psionic (Mutant X)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the television show Mutant X the Genomex corporation genetically engineered four classes of new mutants: elemental, feral, molecular and psionic. Psionic new mutants are very powerful. They focus their powers through their minds and it is not uncommon for one psionic to have powers belonging to several subclasses.
[edit] Subclasses
(listed in order from the most common)
Telepaths: Telepaths have the ability to read and to alter the thoughts of others. Some can also communicate with other people - especially other psionics, mentally. Powerful Telepaths can completely alter a person's personality. They can also control others with their minds. Some can even speak to and control animals with their mind.
Telekinetics: Telekinetics have the ability to move objects with their minds. A skilled telekinetic can create a force field, fire a powerful telekinetic blast, or even fly.
Telempaths: Telempaths have the ability to feel and to alter the emotions and perceptions of others. Some can also project their own feelings into the minds of other people. Telempaths are prone to severe migraines.
Teleporters Teleporters have the ability to teleport anywhere they desire. If they are unskilled with their powers, they may teleport into a wall.
Tele-cybers: Tele-cybers have the ability to manipulate and interact with electronic devices. Tele-cybers are prone to violent mood swings.
Precognitives: Precognitives, aka Precogs have premonitions of the future. These are only of a possible future and outcomes can be altered.
Remote viewers Remote viewers can know anything that's going on in a certain area.
Postcognitive: Postcognitives, aka postcogs, can see the past in interesting visions.
Intells: Intells have highly advanced Intelligence quotients, well over the genius level, can coreograrph entire wars with ease, comprehend and alter any science instantaneously, decipher any language in a second, Analyze and copy any fighting style, and have a photographic memory
Synapse Synapses can amplify brain waves of others to enhance their intelligence, and thinking speed. They can also use their power to boost others power by advancing the power portion of their brain.
Illusionists: Illusionists harness the power to project fake visuals and occasionally attitudes. The quality of illusions can be poor, appearing in a holographic form, or incredibly convincing.
Astrals Astrals can project their counsiousness elsewhere. In said state their body goes limp, and their mind is invisible intangible, and can fly at great height and speed. Skilled Astrals can actually absorb, or control the spirits of others.
Gatekeepers Gatekeepers can open up portals. They can use them to transport themselves or others. This is often a result of a mutation from teleporters. They can also open gates to pocket dimensions, and even alternate realities.
Pain Synthesizers: These people have the power to tie others into their pain centers.
Psychometric: They can see auras of objects (wether good or bad), and use them to sense locations, objects, or other things.
Absorber Absorbers have the ability to absorb anything into their mind. Depending on the users imagination, It may appear to be a sort of pocket dimension.
Omniscients They have the ability to know anything. This takes great focus, but there is perfect precision. The user shouldn't try knowing more than they could handel, or they risk their life in doing such. If one were an Intell, and Omniscient, They could Know and process virtually everything at once, without risking their health.
Soulites: The rarest class, it allows the user to actually manipulate souls. one can actually revive the dead by returning their soul, Control souls, harm someones soul, steal souls, or even create souls. This is an incredibally rare evolutioun from astrals.
NOTE: Some psionics develop the power to use mental bolts that are capable of knocking a person unconscious. More than likely, telepaths and telempaths develop this power more regularly than other psionics due to the fact that they can access another person's mind, although they do it in different ways. Mutants that have the abilities of intangibility or imperviousness are often immune to this power; other highly developed psionics may be as well.
[edit] Other psionics
Mutants are portrayed with psionic abilities across various media, like Marvel Comics' telepaths and telekinetics Professor Charles Xavier and Jean Grey of the X-Men.
