Master Mind Excello

Master Mind Excello's powers and abilities

Powers/Abilities: The highly intelligent Earl Everett possessed no known superhuman abilities, though his brilliance earned him a Ph.D in molecular biology. Getting shot in the head with an experimental radioactive bullet unleashed Earl Everett's mental potential. When his psychic powers manifested themselves, he found he was able to read thoughts, sense intentions and correctly predict people's actions, anticipating on them instantly. He is also able to influence people's behavior in various ways. He can mentally throw a gunman's aim off or force someone to be temporarily paralyzed. He can telepathically force people not to notice him, allowing him to come and go unopposed. Excello is precognitive, intuitively sensing when and where he is needed and acting accordingly even though he often doesn't know himself how an event will play itself out. His senses are extraordinarily sharp, enabling him to hear a pin drop a mile away or see up to 100.000 miles away. To focus his mental powers, Excello needs to meditate on a regular basis. Distractions like television signals, wireless digital communication and crowded spaces weaken his mental and extrasensory powers. Master Mind Excello is an excellent marksman, rarely missing his mark though that might also be a side-effect of his telepathy. Excello also has super strength, lifting at least 20 tons though he rarely uses this and any other of his powers because it moves the radioactive shrapnel in his brain ever closer to a vital artery. Even prior to the incident that gave him his powers, Master Mind Excello was always good at instinctively figuring out the odds, making him an expert and effortless gambler. He is a fair hand-to-hand combatant, licensed to fly most 1940s single engine airplanes and often uses an experimental machine gun called a "triple propeller pistol". As a US Office of Naval Intelligence Operative, Excello had access to experimental tools and devices such as acids, explosive liquids and Vacu-Pads, which enabled him to scale buildings. Excello is a master of disguise. Due to a series of intuitive longterm financial investments in the 1940s, Excello is independently wealthy.
