The Shadow

I would be much obliged if people would give me a hand with a bit of data from the old "Mind Games" supplement.
My problem is this. I have been wanting to revive (and slightly revise) one of my very earliest Champions characters from way back in the day, a mentalist called The Phantom. (He was my second character, "The Shadow" was the first. :)
The GM helped give me ideas for character background out of Mind Games, a supplement I've never owned. Basically, he was an escaped "recruit" from P.S.I. (P.S.I. ended up being the group's primary enemy in our first several adventures.) The trouble is that my memory of the details has decayed to the point of near-nothingness, and I want to write a bang-up character background.
I recall that he was primarily "handled" after being kidnapped from his family by a Counsellor Smart or Dark or something like that. Can somebody give me an idea of what his powers were? Could he be described as a psychic surgeon, capable of reworking or suppressing someone's memories? (Mental Transform, basically?) If not, who else in P.S.I. could do something like that?
Also, who in the group has suitable powers for punishing recalcitrant teenage "recruits" - a nasty mental blast or something of that sort? Basically a "bad cop" against Counsellor Whoever's "good cop". I recall a real creep named Psimon, but don't remember if he had the powers to do it. (I DO remember Torment - he and the Phantom had an interesting scene - and I don't want something THAT bad, thanks. :) Besides, if I recall, the Phantom felt sorry for Torment more than anything else, and I need a person that he can safely love to hate.)
Finally, any names for other "recruits" being managed by P.S.I. from the supplement will be appreciated. I recall that the GM eventually turned one of them (after P.S.I. broke up) into a supervillain, a minor thorn in our sides.
Much thanks for any help you can give. I would prefer an answer by email, if possible.

P.S. I'll gladly post the full character background once I have the info, if anyone is interested.
