About
When he was a child, James always felt like his father preferred his brother to him. When these feelings were at an all-time high, James's ability manifested and he suddenly found himself in front of his grandfather's house. His grandfather came out to greet him and told James that he had foreseen James's arrival by teleportation. When James's grandfather told James's father that his ability had manifested, James trained to use his power for two years, finally mastering the ability to teleport himself to whatever place he was thinking of. When James turned 18, he discovered that he could teleport objects to different places without teleporting himself. He first used his ability on another person when he teleported a car thief out of a car he stole and onto a nearby pole. By the time James turned 26, he had teleported fifty-five criminals into jails, stopped three robbers before they could take anything and had done battle with another evolved human. A few months after turning 26, James discovered he could use his ability to travel through time when he sent his phone five seconds into the future, and accidentally sent himself ten minutes into the past. James has done nothing notable since, but has considered going back in time to re-experience significant moments in his life.
