    Comics:
    just quick off the top of my head.

    The X-men
    JLA (Jonzz)
    Legion of Superheroes.

    Books
    Hollow Man by Dan Simmons

    TV/Movies -
    The Dead Zone (TV) - the best handling of Precog/Retrocog/Object Reading I have ever seen in fiction.
    Bablyon 5
    Star Trek
    You know how you play with a cat by dangling a peice of sting within his grasp, and then pull it away as he grabs for it? If the string isn't exciting and tempting the cat won't grab. But if you pull away early too many times and deny him too often, the cat gives up in frustration. The skill is in finding the sweet spot between those extremes where its fun for you and the cat.

    That's what a GM's job is.

    I can't believe I forgot that one.


    On and for reference for those that may not know the book - Hollow Man is about a telepath who can't shut it off, and starts losing his personality to all the stuff he picks up from surrounding minds.

    Sounds like a good one for mental adaptive disadvantage from Ultimate Mentalist. Also updated the list. Just for everyone's reference I am not adding any entry that is in The Ultimate Mentalist.

    Ps. Unless it is only listed as one catergory and it fits under the other catergories.

    Thank Steven, Bob and theUnknown. Scanners is listed in the Ultimate Metamorph and thus not included. Though I am thinking of adding what is in the book to make this list complete.
