Description

Forethought

Real Name: Calvin Gibbs
Occupation: College student
Identity: Secret
Base of Operations: NYC
First Appearance: Beacon #229
Team Affiliations: None
History: Calvin Gibbs always thought his brain operated differently, and held a sneaking suspicion that he was neurodivergent in some way, mentally ill at worst. But he was always irrationally afraid to seek out help for his problems lest he be labelled “crazy” and locked away. He sometimes heard voices, objects near him seemed to move when he wasn’t paying attention... His own interest in his mind and a determination to solve his problems on his own led him to study psychology at the college level.
Gibbs became a student of Dr. Malcom Morton’s and assisted him in the creation of the device that would allow Morton to become the criminal Overthink. Mortified, Gibbs eventually decided to take the notes he had on the project and construct his own version of the device to possibly use it against the villain, make up for his mistakes, and be a hero in his own right.
Completing the helmet and suit, Gibbs put it on and switched on its power. Cycling through its settings, he was suddenly overcome with the sensation of clearly hearing the thoughts of his next door neighbors. Gibbs experimented further... realizing that the strange experiences which plagued him his entire life were the artifacts of a latent superevolution!
Gibbs created the identity of Forethought and aided the super-hero Beacon in a case against Overthink.
Known superhuman powers: Forethought wears a special helmet that can increase or enhance any cognitive or neurological function. He can increase his ability to memorize, heighten his reflexes and reaction times, enhance his hand-eye coordination, better his computational abilities, and more. However, he can only affect any one function at a time.
Forethought also has a superevolution with a number of latent psionic powers. Much like his other cognitive functions, he can use the helmet to increase one of his powers—he can still theoretically use other powers at the same time but only one will be enhanced. Among his psionic powers are telepathy, telekinesis, psionic shielding, and telepathic awareness.
He also lined a suit with the same components as the helmet, allowing his reaction speed to be greatly enhanced. The suit functions separately from the helmet.
