Mentalist has harnessed the power of the mind. Through a mere thought, he can manipulate matter, energy, and even the minds of others.
Powers/Tactics: Mentalist can read mind, control minds, attack minds, attack objects, move objects, and even heal injuries (although in doing so, he “takes on” the wounds of the injured person).
In combat, Mentalist acts as the “silent radio,” setting up undetectable communication among his teammates. Unfortunately, this link has an element of feedback to it, such that any time that one of his teammates on the link gets stunned by an attack, Mentalist takes 1d6 damage.
For defense, Mentalist can cloud men’s minds so that he cannot be detected by any senses, but if the target has any Mental Defense, that target can make an Ego Roll to see through the invisibility. Once “seen” by a target, Mentalist remains seen until line of sight is broken somehow.
Apart from the invisibility, Mentalist can project a field of mental force around himself to reduce incoming damage. This is quite handy, since to use any of his mental attacks, he has to be at relatively close range, and he has to concentrate, leaving himself an otherwise sitting duck.
He’s been in enough combat situations that he recognizes the signs of impending trouble, and gets a warning from his heebie jeebies. Also, even against lethal attacks, he can usually get out of the way of much of the damage before it fully connects.
Personality: Mentalist, although he plays the part of the hero, considers himself somewhat “above” most of humanity. Even though he tries to avoid being too condescending, his arrogance still shows through at times. Since he does, however, view most of humanity as mental children, he gets his fun by playing games with his opponents, trying to make them sweat before he moves in for the kill (figuratively speaking, of course).
