[QUOTE="buzzard, post: 1685759, member: 3003"] Fair enough. William Beranek is a mathematics professor at Hillsdale college in Missouri. He specializes in theoritical mathematics. Much of his work is done on computers, but the real meat occurs right in his head. He starts to get severe headaches. A CAT scan of his head shows a lump growing in his brain. It is location in a section of the brain corresponing to motor control. The doctors tell him that surgery is probably too risky, but tumors of this sort often respond to radiation treatment. He acedes to their reccomendations and undergoes the radiation treatment. The cancer is destroyed, but as with much cancer treatment there is often a cost. His is crippled for life with his legs rendered useless. However something else came of this. The intense radiation acting on his brain triggered latent mutations activing a host of mental powers, some of which even compensate for his disability. Also his intelligence seems to have increased markedly. He tends to keep his powers under wraps, being rather afraid that they will interefere with his academic standing as well as causing trouble for his wife and young son. A group of violent anti-globalization activists begin to strike at Hillsdale College, which advocates free market policies. One evening after working late on a particularly interesting problem, he stumbles on a group of the activists planting a bomb in the science bulding in which he works. Using his mutant abilities, he knocks them all out and leaves them for security. Rumors begin to abound about a mutant working on campus, but Professor Beranek merely keeps his head down. He is in dread of his abilities becoming known. However the rumors persist, and he just awaits the inevitable- exposure. buzzard [/QUOTE]
