Mental

Assault and control others, either by psychic power or the sheer force of your will. Characters with the mental superpower are masters of mind over matter. Using their unique abilities, they can move objects with a thought to defend themselves or damage an enemy. They can also use the force of their will in more subtle ways, such as creating illusions to disorient and confuse. Mental characters love to be where the action is and control the battlefield with their minds.

Specializing in Crowd Control abilities, Mental is a Power Set available for a character during Character Creation.
