Peter Stanchek (Valiant Entertainment)

==Summary==
Peter Stanchek is one of the most powerful Psiots, widely regarded as the only one whose abilities rival those of Toyo Harada. He is the only Psiot who can "activate" latent powers in others, and one of only three known Psiots who were born activated. Being born with powerful psionic abilities led to a life of homelessness, drug abuse, and misdiagnosed mental illness. He would always hear everyone's thoughts, and to stop hearing them, he would take various drugs and medications.
One day, he was scouted by the Harbinger Foundation. He was to join their ranks and help Harada make the perfect utopia - but also so that Harada could stop Peter from ultimately destroying the world. But seeing how evil Harada's methods were, Peter revolted against his master and created a new team called the Renegades with the help of his childhood crush, Kris. This new team revealed Harada's true form to the world, turning him from a public hero to public enemy No.1.
While they did take down Harada, they lost one of their teammates. The loss of losing a new friend, having his entire body deformed, and the world pressuring him to fight Harada, Peter's sickness skyrocketed. So, he flew to space and floated near Saturn for six months. He was forced to return and help the Renegades fight against new threats.
The team fell apart once again, and Peter made another huge mistake, perhaps the biggest one yet. Peter journeyed across the world to unlock as many Psiots as possible, which made them targets of various government and corporations. They wanted the Psiots to become their weapons. After the new Psiots were saved by Amanda McKee, Livewire, Peter went away and split his entire existence in half. His mind and body became two separate entities. Peter kept his good side in one body, and the bad in another. 
The two separate halves fought - one fought to write Peter's name in history book as another evil man and cause chaos, and the other fought to save people - simple as that. Ultimately, Harbinger, the good side of Peter, had no choice but to absorb his evil self and become whole again. Now, he is truly on the path of becoming a hero that will save people.
In the past, Peter was a selfish man who did many terrible things, and he was suicidal, but as time went on, he began to change his life around.
150 years from now, Peter will become the president of the entire world, taking over Harada's mass empire. But one day, when Harada returns again, he brought doom with him again - even if he did not want to. To save the world and the people Harada and Peter fought so hard for, Peter killed Harada. Upon his death, Harada's body released a deadly plasma that was going to wreck the world, so Peter gave up his life and saved the world one last time.

Since this part of himself was forcefully hidden by Peter, now that it was running free, it was allowed to do whatever it wanted to, and use whomever he could. He would plan ahead, manipulate his underlings, and control various villains to do his bidding for him. Created contingency plans when attacking Harbinger, so he did not lose. Attacked the city as a bait to draw the police in, so they can fail. Once they fail, he will have forced them to wipe out the entire city just to get rid of him - thus ruining the reputation Harbinger and Peter had developed. | Far greater than before. Ultimately became the president of the utopia/world Harada had created.
Weaknesses: Power dampening tech from Project Rising Spirit can momentarily leave him and other weak. The tech uses Phased Electromagnetic PulsesHarbinger Vol 2 2 at a specific frequency to cause harm to the mind of an individual.Harbinger: Omegas Vol 1 2 The effects of PEP varies per person - to some, this means no power, but to others, it could mess with their powers. Synaptic disruption renders Psiots powerless.Harbinger Wars Vol 1 2 Is mentally unstable at the start, however, as time went on, he became more stable. Used to hallucinate a lot - for example, Joe was elsewhere when he began to see him in his own head. Tinfoil hats should also be able to block his mental abilities.Harbinger Vol 2 6 As he is mentally unstable, he relies on various legal drugs to keep himself in check. Since he always hears his thoughts, he also relies on these drugs to dampen said noises.
