Martha Sullivan When her meager telekinesis powers first manifested, Martha "Sully" Sullivan daydreamed playing the role of a new super-hero, Mind-Over-Mattie. She later tempered those goals, choosing instead to use her "powers" for special effects in movies and television shows. History She first discovered her powers when she was fourteen years old. Using her powers, she assisted her working friend, actor Mitch Goodman (Crimson Cougar), in preventing a local AstroMart robbery. The incident kicked off a rapid rise in popularity for Mitch. When that proved to be too much for him, even a danger to his life, Sully's powers helped her friend stage a PR nightmare to rip his new-found glamor to sheds. ("Great Expectations") Powers telekinesis Her telekinesis power is strong enough to move objects that are within line-of-sight distances. She can aid a person's gymnastics feats, giving them the illusion of flying, or that they possess superior strength by "lifting" what would otherwise be tremendously heavy objects. Observations She seems like a very down-to-earth individual. A good-hearted soul, with simple desires. She is very "comfortable in her shoes." Speculations, Theories Her powers seem to register at medium telekinetic levels. This could be due to a lack of practice, or not much desire to push them beyond a comfortable threshold. Perhaps she just needs a motivating event to activate them at higher levels. For there seem to be times when she might indeed be wondering what could have been.
