Paranoia

The man simply known as Paranoia is a key member of the secret society known simply as The Illuminate. Before the outbreak he was simply known as Bob from Quality Control, a quiet reserved man who preferred to stay in his dark cubicle going over TPS reports. When the virus struck he did not expect himself to be among the survivors as his role in the company was so marginal, little did he know the virus had begun to change him as one of the unknowing test subjects. Now, using his ability to control and command darkness itself allows him to be one of the organization's top spies, waiting patiently in the dark corners of a room, listening in on the leadership of the US and the Dynasty. Little does the Illuminate know of his secondary mutation, a gift that allows him control over the thoughts of others. Are the events he is reporting on actually the ideals of the enemy leadership, or is it him furthering his own agenda?

Darkness Manipulation
The user can create, control, manipulate, materialize and summon darkness. By itself, darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total darkness, but by accessing a dimension of d ark energy  it can be channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light and a solid substance: one can also control and manipulate the beings that exist there, create and dispel shields and areas of total darkness, create a variety of constructs and weapons and, teleport one's self through massive distances via shadows.

Thought Manipulation
The user can control the thoughts of others, they can make others think what the user thinks, or something completely different. They can use this to control their minds  and induce a belief. The user could potentially drive others crazy  by making them believe in crazy things, such as voices in their heads, or something they couldn't possibly do, such as fly or heal, leading them to doing reckless things such as jumping off a roof to prove it.
