Psychic Powers: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' had Psycho Mantis. Interestingly enough, while he did have abilities like psychokinesis, precognition, and telepathy (telepathy being [[Deconstruction|deconstructed painfully]]), his favourite (or at least creepiest) use of his powers is to [[Meta Guy|peer beyond the]] [[No Fourth Wall|fourth wall]]...

** Other entries in the Saga give us The Sorrow, able to speak with the dead, whose powers are so strong that he is even able to return from the dead in a sort of [[Not Quite Dead|near death experience]]; The Sorrow's son, Revolver Ocelot inadvertently becomes possessed by his former boss's severed arm; Fortune, who throughout the second game is protected by a [[Sufficiently Advanced Technology]] shield -- until it turns out she doesn't need it; [[Jekyll and Hyde|Ursula and Elisa]] who are so powerful they get a broken [[Humongous Mecha|Metal Gear]] working and make a prediction about the future; and Gene, who... I'm not sure, the screen flashes purple with his face superimposed and you start taking damage. He's also near impossible to hit; he cuts bullets with a bowie knife.

** Amy also has some psychic abilities, according to one of the manuals, though they don't come up much. This ''would'' explain her uncanny Sonic-finding abilities, and certain other plot-critical encounters with Shadow and Silver.

* ''[[Starcraft]]'' has the Protoss as a race and the [[Super Soldier|Terran Ghosts]] as individuals with psychic powers. Even the Zerg have them to the degree of being able to communicate over great distances through the hive mind and the Overlords, Cerebrates, and Overmind (and later {{spoiler|Kerrigan}}). This aspect is usually more accented in the novels than in the actual game, though.
