Peter Stanchek is one of the most powerful psiots alive, considered the only one whose powers rival Toyo Harada. He is the only psiot with the ability to "activate" latent powers in others, and one of only three known psiots born activated. Having powerful psionic abilities from an early age lead him to a lifetime of homelessness, drug abuse, and misdiagnosed mental illness.
Peter is the only known psiot with the ability to activate other potential psiots.
History[]
On Christmas day, eleven-year-old Peter accidentally put his father into a coma trying to activate his latent psionic abilities[1].
Eventually Harada would attempt to recruit him to his Harbinger Foundation. Realizing Harada was morally corrupt, Stanchek went on the run with a group of other young psiots he activated calling themselves the Renegades. This group includes Charlene Dupre, Faith Herbert, John Torkelson, and the non-psiot Kris Hathaway.

Powers and Abilities[]
Psionics: Peter Stanchek, also known as Sting, has been stated on numerous occasions to be one of the most powerful psiots, alive. Possessing enough raw and immense psionic might to rival the talents of Toyo Harada, an immensely powerful psiot in his own right. Due to his powers manifesting at such a young age, he has learned to use his abilities in unique ways that other psiots have yet to do, such as being able to activate the powers of other latent psiots, and see the future and past. So far, his powers and abilities include, but aren't limited to:
- Telepathy: Peter is a vastly powerful telepath, able to read, control, and manipulate the minds, and thought processes of other sentient beings through sheer force of will. He is able to project and broadcast his thoughts in order to communicate with other people across the planet, as well as mind-walking, erasing the memories of others, mental paralysis, mind control, psionic blasts, emotion manipulation, and even being able to tap into and access the forces of the Astral Plane.

- Telekinesis: Alongside his telepathic abilities, Peter is an immensely powerful telekinetic. He is able to psychokinetically levitate, propel and manipulate objects and matter with his thoughts. So far, Peter has been shown to levitate himself to fly at incredible speeds, project powerful psionic blasts or bursts, or create protective force-fields. He has also demonstrated enough raw and destructive telekinetic force to levitate buildings, destroy entire cities, and move objects across vast distances. He has also been shown enough fine control over his power to perceive and manipulate objects and matter on a sub-molecular level.

- Joshua Dysart: "...youth with power is a complicated thing. Youth is visionary, youth is idealistic, but youth is also volatile. Peter Parker decided to do good, but what if he were a drug addict with mental health issues like [this] Peter?"[src]

Stop. Talking. Give me something with oxycodone in it, percocet or something. And an antipsychotic. Risperdal or zyprexa. Plus whatever cash you got in the register. Then forget me forever.

- Right now, I'm showing you what it's like inside my head. Hear that horrible screeching? All my life, as long as I can remember, it's been there... raging in my brain. Constantly. For no reason. No truth. No goodness. No purpose... only power.
- -- Peter Stanchek[src]
- I don't know. Everybody wants something from Neo. He never really gets to just hang out and have fun... he's always got important stuff to do. And sometimes Neo hurts other people. Even if he doesn't mean to. I guess just because he can. I don't really see what's so special about being special.
- -- Peter Stanchek[src]
- You understand that there's no way I can let Harada-Sama live. Even if I didn't want to kill him... and trust me, I do... I really do... but even so, if I let him live he'd just keep coming after me, after my friends. This has to be the end. Here and now.
- -- Peter Stanchek[src]
- Greetings, Master. Once again you find yourself off the mark and far from the action. How will it feel, I wonder... when all your resources can't even stop a handful of punks from tearing down everything you've worked decades for? But in the immortal words of a great prophet... "Kids ain't playin' over here, playa." Maybe one day you'll finally do me in, Sensei. But after this... it just won't matter anymore.
- -- Peter Stanchek[src]
- Here's where it happens, world. Where Harada tracks thousands of potential Psiots all over the globe. It represents decades of work for Harada. It's the pool from which he pulls his army. The engine for his future empire. If he loses track of all his potential recruits, expanding his organization becomes impossible... and all the damage we've done to him will stick. No growth, no new information, that equals the end of the Harbinger Foundation.
- -- Peter Stanchek[src]
- I guess we're both monsters then, Sensei... and neither one of us deserves to live. So let's hurry up and rid the world of each other!
- -- Peter Stanchek[src]
- I can feel it, Master, under all your hate... there's real fear there... burning off of you so brightly it blinds you! Me and you, we're in Hell. We've spent our whole lives in Hell. And for the last year we've put each other through Hell. So let's take it all the way... let me show you something. So you can know my anger! This is the inside of my best friend Joe's dead brain. Just one of the countless people you've murdered. Experience it. No thought. No energy. No light. No life at all... and this is what it's like inside the head of a junkie while he's dying from an overdose. There's no room for ego this close to non-existence... what about you, Master? Can you survive without your massive ego?

- Peter Stanchek was the most powerful psiot on the planet. Capable of raising an army or destroying a starfleet. He'd seen Jupiter with his own eyes. The asteroids of the Kuiper Belt spun differently forever because, twice, he had crossed it with nothing but the power of his own mind. He was also a drug addict. And a coward. He was a monster with the power of a god. And you want the only good thing about him? He knew it.
