Nekkidcarpenter Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Jack Beddoe grew up gambling. By the time he was 12 he'd won a half million dollars for his mentor Big Vinny. And then he discovered he could grow to incredible size. And then he pretended he'd never discovered his power and continued to gamble. But when he was 16 a psychic security advisor on a deep sea cruise ship where high stakes poker was played in international waters discovered he had another power; by prolonged contact he could influence peoples minds so they made poor choices, like betting on bad hands. Vinny had to work fast to keep Jack from getting thrown overboard. But even though he was still alive Jack wished that he wasn't, because there's nothing worse in the world than a cheater. And he'd been cheating all those years, whether he knew it or not. After much soul searching he's joined a 'special' school to learn how to use his powers. He has no interest in learning about his size shifting power, and would be perfectly happy to give up all of them if he could be certain that he'd never cheat again.
