Marie Turner

**Marie Turner** formerly Marie Diez, is the wife of Erik Turner. Marie works as a social worker contracted to the Prism City Medical Center, where she is loved by staff and patients alike. She is revered as a Saintess of sorts for not only her kind heart but the way she is able to calm almost anyone. After the loss of her unborn child, she was convinced by her husband to join him in the fight against crime, taking on the name **Foresight**.

## Personality

Her husband would describe her as everything he is not. Marie is a kind soul, warm and friendly to others with a bright and energetic personality. She is rarely seen without a smile on her face, constantly radiating a warmth that is practically infectious. This causes others to love her, and has even caused many to jokingly refer to her as Saintess. It has been her nature since she was a child, as if all that was good in the world was personified into a single woman; her. Despite how kind and warm and gentle she is, Marie is not infallible, something she constantly tells others.

Marie has told her husband how hard it is to see all the sufferinsg in the world around them, to see others in pain, to hurt herself and still choose to smile and see the good in life, revealing that it is not something that always comes easy to her. While she chooses to se the light in the world, she battles with her own feelings of self doubt, propelling her on this almost suicidal campaign to help others and heal the world to the detriment of herself. To this end she walks the halls of the hospital, visiting the various rooms taking on the suffering of others, keeping all the pain bottled in. After the loss of their child, she and her husband channeled their grief in different ways. For him, violence became the outlet under the guise of helping and protecting others, while for her it was the increased rate in which she absorbed the pain of others, drowning out her own pain with theirs.

## Powers

* **Empathy**: The Variant awakened within Marie grants her the ability to perceive, manipulate and absorb the emotions of others. This ability is not limited to just people, but extends to beings such as animals as well. In her everyday life she typically uses this ability to absorb the pain others are feeling to grant them relief. As Foresight, while in combat she applies this ability offensively, amplifying the feeling of "pain" from her punch, giving the illusion that her strength is far greater than it actually is. Conversely, the feelings from others can also affect her, causing her to potentially become more aggressive, happy or sad.

* **Emotion Negation**: Using her abilities, she is able to seal the emotions in others, rendering them apathetic. This is an ability that can also be used internally, allowing her to shut off her own emotions. When doing so she is indifferent, calculative and pragmatic, causing others to perceive certain decisions of hers to be cruel and heartless as a result. It is something she is not prone to do, feeling great regret over her actions and words when she is allowed to feel again.

* **Empathic Healing**: Aiding her greatly in her civilian career is her ability to absorb the mental, emotional, and physical pain of others, granting them relief and speeding up their recovery. This however comes as a detriment to herself, as while they are feeling relief, she is taking on all the pain and discomfort into herself, albeit temporarily.

* **Psychic Link**: Marie has formed a mental bond between her and her husband, allowing the two to communicate through their minds and to be able to gauge one another's positions. Marie is able to form such a link with others. This also allows her to perceive the world through the perception of another.

* **Psionics**: Marie is one of the world's foremost telepaths, able to read the minds of others, projecting a mental image of herself within their minds to traverse their thoughts and dreams. This allows her to retrieve almost any information she so desires save from the strongest of minds. She is also more than capable of wiping one's mind, placing mental locks and restraints on the minds of others, sealing off certain memories and in the case of Outliers, access to their abilities as well. She is equally capable of trapping one within their own mind, living them in a coma-like vegetative state. Because she knows the weight of her power and as a kind and gentle soul by nature, she is never seen using her abilities in the horrific ways she could. She has also made a vow to both herself and her husband to never read his mind. Through her variant she is able to cloak herself and others, render a person physically immobile, and control another.

* **Illusion Casting**: Using her empathic and psionic abilities, Marie can conjure vivid illusions that seem to affect all five senses of an individual while also affecting their perception of time. She is able to cast and maintain these illusions in multiple people at once with each illusion being tailor made for the individual(s) in question. Her ability extends to being able to alter her appearance and the appearance of others, to even creating illusionary clones.

* **Flight**: Marie is capable of flight, able to maintain herself in the air and travel at varying speeds.

* **Energy Projection**: Marie can fire off yellow projectile blasts that while capable of blowing back enemies and causing concussive damage, can cause mental damage as well, assaulting a person's mind directly on impact.

### Abilities

* **Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic)**: Under her husband's tutelage, she's acquired the basic abilities to allow her to be capable of defending herself.

* **Multilingualism**: Being Puerto Rican, Marie is naturally capable of speaking both English and Spanish fluently. Through her variant she has also used to to learn, German, Japanese, French, Korean, and Mandarin.

## Weaknesses

* Her empathic abilities, serve as a double edged sword, proven on the tragic day that changed her and her husband's lives forever. When surrounded by strong emotions, they greatly affect her mentally and can render her temporarily immobile if bombarded with too many emotions at once. Strong emotions can also compromise her rendering her a liability from becoming too aggressive where she is causing more harm than good, or the opposite extreme where she is too depressed where she becomes ineffective in battle or during missions.

* One of her greatest weaknesses is also one of her greatest strengths as well; her heart. Marie by nature chooses to see the good in others and the world, making her far more forgiving than her husband.

## Equipment

* **Foresight Suit**: Her suit which is compose of a mesh weave of Superium with a piece of Primordion embedded in it. It serves to not only protect her, but to ensure her suit repairs itself and also aids in her healing should she sustain injury in combat.
