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.

Oh! And how could I miss Doctor Who? Many of the Doctor's incarnations (mostly the fourth and tenth) have exhibited mental abilities.

 

Don't how I missed it either. Also added the Tomorrow People which in certain way seem inspired by Indigo Children....

I have added Prayer Beads due to Bead 6 and 7. There is some good episode and some bad in this Japanese Horror TV Anthology. I recommend renting it if you do love J-Horror but only buy it if you are a fanatic like me.
