| Psychic Dyslexia
Institute — an organization that studies the phenomenon of Psychic
Dyslexia: special powers that don't go quite right. Within the institute
is a cadre of special students who are somewhat super-heroic, despite
their handicap. The comic is set in a furry futuristic world where psychic
powers are about as common as being a super athlete: rare but not
unheard-of. In this environment, psychics are routinely snapped up by the
government to join the Psychic Overt Offense Platoon (P.O.O.P.) or go
rogue to become villains in their own right. Since those recruited by the
government are held by the DoD and all its red tape, they are largely
ineffectual Agents of Good. On the other hand, the Institute hangs onto
the psychics with seemingly ineffectual powers or powers they can't
control properly. Their purported intent is to train these people to
properly use their powers — but secretly the founder (the mysterious
Mysto) has been assembling a team of courageous misfits who, together, can
fight evil in their own imperfect and slightly skewed manner. The
institute takes people in (often found and recruited by Tracker) and
begins to train them to live with their "disability" — and
those that Mysto and Tracker find have that "special something"
are recruited into the inner sanctum for more specialized training with
the (as-yet unnamed) Team. |
This comic has been re-drawn in July of 2003 to replace the Original Drawing.
