Another random question...
...answers to which may or may not be put to any use whatsoever.
So, if you had, say, a seekrit institute filled with psychic kids, what sort of talents/powers/whatever d'ya think might be in there? Aside from the normal telepathy, teleportation, etc., and aside from anything that's an exact copy of a well-known superhero. Or what about interesting twists or limitations on standard powers?*
("Psychic" isn't really accurate, "powered" is better: it involves not only things that are traditionally purely mental, like telepathy, but physical augmentations as well. Not like adamantium bones or cyber-stuff, but like super-speed or bat-like hearing.)
* Like, I always figured that telepathy would only work on words and images currently in someone's mind, and that people have thought processes just different enough from each other that interpretation would be a problem. A friend of mine put it this way, when I explained it to him: "So you'd be thinking [3.14159] and I'd be thinking [*purple*]?" Yeah. Kinda like that.
