Introducing... Focus!

[kybearfuzz]

I was chatting online with Steve (rootbeer1) yesterday and he came up with the idea for a superhero with specific powers. Like usual, I got the costume colors, design ideas, etc., and sat down and drew out a superhero while watching TV last night (keeping Steve's good looks in mind for the hero, of course). Steve came up with the code-name "Focus" and together we settled on the final touches for the hero late last night. The toon and his power description are behind the cut due to size:


Introducing... Focus!

In an email, Steve described the powers much better than I could rehash, so here is the description:

"Bio: In my dreams I seem to have telekinesis as a matter of course, and it's always seemed odd that I didn't continue to have it when I woke up, so my superhero alter-ego has telekinesis. To make it different from the run-of-the-mill Marvel Girl-style power, I've limited it so that Focus can't lift more than his own weight and one other person -- no throwing around cars, lifting buildings or mountains, etc. But although he can't do extra-heavy lifting, he makes it up with superb control (and perception) of matter at the microscopic level. Using his telekinetic perception and ability, Focus can:

• Cause someone to black out, by squeezing capillaries and stopping blood from reaching the brain;
  
• keep a gun from firing, as well as change the direction and velocity of small- to medium-sized moving objects, like bullets;
  
• heal illnesses by killing specific germs and viruses in a body, and heal injuries by knitting bones and tissue;
  
• kill by causing a heart to stop beating, or causing any number of internal injuries;
  
• use ordinary telekinesis -- lifting, throwing, catching, moving, etc.-- and telekinetic perception, which is knowing the exact location of all objects around him (by sending out a constant stream of telekinetic 'pings')."

If this keeps up, I will have a "Legion of Super-Bears" :D

Steve does make a good superhero, don't you think?
