….we’re as surprised as Go!Anna is, right? Because I don’t recall any previous mention of him being telekenetic.
Yeah, it’s never been mentioned before. But in hindsight, it makes a lot more sense that in a world full of powers something like weak telekinesis wouldn’t be remarkable enough to come up in a conversation. It would have been a lot weirder for him to have a previously unmentioned accomplice.
I’m not sure why, but I always assumed Brunton was a mundane.
Maybe because Annie implied as much here?

Was your original thinking that he was just a norm freak Grace, or did you always have the idea of him being a super in the back of your mind?
Or is the sicko just getting lucky and what you think of as supernatural is you just not paying enough attention. Reference Penn & Teller’s Fool Us for examples of the apparent supernatural by entirely normal (if really tricky) means.
I guess when you’re used to fighting people with potentially cataclysmic powers, as Annie would have been by then, someone who can move a few things around with their mind would seem fairly unremarkable… 🙂
I’ve been purposefully vague about this since forever… but in writing this story it became pretty clear to me that this was necessary…
That explains Sunday’s development. I was sure that it wasn’t possible otherwise given the information in the panel. It is a surprise of course!
Oh, I didn’t know he was telekinetic – I thought he was one of those perfect storm villains, big, strong, evil …..
I kinda called this last page – I figured he either recently picked up an accomplice, or had telekinetic powers – and telekinesis does make more sense. Not very strong TK, but strong enough to make him dangerous in close quarters; I think Anna’s going to find him a handful and a half.
Pretty sure Go!Anna outright stated somewhere that Brunton wasn’t powered. Just a basic, human nutjob.
So, she said “…that sicko I saved you from? He was a lame piece of crap compared to some of the psychos out there. He was just a pathetic freak in a clown mask…” http://magellanverse.com/comic/freak/ I figure “compared to” and “freak” allow wriggle room on his status 🙂
Wasn’t there also a line about him getting out of prison and killing Kaycee’s mom? I figured non-powered would mean regular prison, and even minor telekinesis would result in sending him to a place like Locke. Kind of a security oversight to have a telekinetic in regular prison, no? And being an unrepentant serial killer … not complaining, but I rather hope we have some of these addressed.
That’s from when she talked with the chroner, Maverick, isn’t it? The teke demonstrated up to this point may be minor compared to known super’s abilities, but it’s enough to throw an adult off her feet, and wield a shovel as a potentially deadly weapon. And there’s a lot of tricks that can be pulled off with some cleverness, as we may yet see. That sure seems to me like it would call for stricter security than a normal prison cell.
If Locke Island was impossible to get out of, I suspect the Baxter Gang wouldn’t have been able to cause Wombat Man such issues.
Maybe because of the minor-ness of the ability, combined with Go!Anna’s concern for Kaycee, she forgot to mention it.
Well, you know me… I like to cross and dot most of my “t”s and “i”s (and “f”s and “j”s)…
and, of course, having read to the end of the chapter now, everything has a neat little bow tied to it.
