After the telepathy experiment, Foo and Jolin discovered they had gained superpowers. Foo had the ability to control fire, while Jolin could become invisible. At first, they were self-conscious about their powers and kept them selective. But as they experimented with their abilities, they found they could use them to help others. Foo became a firefighter, using his power to control fires and prevent arson. Jolin used her power to become a selective corpus, gathering information to help prospective clients. Their motto became 'with great power comes great responsibility'. They were trailblazers in the professionalization of superpowers.
