Re: Toying with new character concepts
Using some specific anime seires, I'll mention the characters and mention their psychic powers.
Iczer-1: Telepathy(only to talk), energy blasts from hand, telekinsis, teleportation, temporal manipualtion(reset Earthfrom before the Cthullu invaded), pyschic blade, energy explosion(wiped out a solar system with it), flight, space flight, dimensional travel, danger sense, empathy(only for Nagisa)
The Dangaio pilots from Star Giant Dangaioh or the DOLL manga. All have basic telepathy and can talk to each other no matter what and are a lot stronger than normal humans. Can take a lot physical punishmnet.
Mia-flight, energy explosion, force field, telportation
In DOLL, she could manifest a giant energy Dangaio that could really hurt
Lamba-Energy blast through finger
In DOLL, she could do other things with the energy bolt. She could also infuse power into other people
Pai-Super strength beyond the others
In DOLL, she could fly on her own
Roll-Running while surroned with an energy sheath.
In DOLL, he could summon the energy sheath and used it to disentgrate someone by spiing around near him(more like being next to whirling helicopte blades)
In the DOLL manga, all four are capable fighters. Heck, the three girls are wrestlers in the manga.
Moving on, Iczer-1 could actually argue with Jean Grey on who the most powerful psychic is. Iczer-1 can shield her mind, but she doesn't have the mental attacks Jean does. However, Jean doesn't have that many defenses against a psychic sword shoved through her gut.
One guy, and four girls. However, that should give you some ideas on other types of psychic characters.
