Acquires EVO power nullification

I repeated the process in St. Paul, Minnesota, only to feel something wrong.

My connection to my other selves was suddenly cut, and I was alone, and I fell to the ground from where I had been floating.

A black man in ceremonial dress was on a palanquin, and I found myself surrounded by guns. I stared up at them, and it took me a moment that this man was the person who was blocking my power.

He was sweating, and I could feel myself pushing against his power. My guess was that he typically nullified whatever the organ was in the brain that generated the powers of the Evolved. My brain was altered enough that I still had some of my powers, the physical ones at least. If my powers were completely nullified, I'd have turned into a non sentient slime, or I'd have vanished altogether.

I lunged forward, heading for the man, and his eyes widened as he realized that I was going to reach him. His concentration wavered, and a moment later I appeared beside him, and I tore his head off.

Nullifying powers, as it turned out was an interesting ability. It wouldn't work on parahumans, but it would help with the evolved, although the nullifier had to be stronger than the victim, or there would be bleed through.
