Powers

The Dead Zone: Due to an automobile accident that left him in a coma for over six years, Johnny Smith can gain knowledge of a person - past, present, and possible future but with a touch. Smith's ability allows him to do the following:

• Postcognition: Smith has Am (50) postcognition, allowing him to see into a person's past and 'see' speciifc incidents as if he is/was present. Smith cannot 'read minds', but he can see the events as honest as they are portrayed in the memories of the individuals who he touches. Smith can observe events over the course of how they happened, but to the casual observer, a moment is all that passes.
• Precognition*: Smith has the Am (50) ability to predict events through a touch, and can determine possible outcomes through the actions of individuals by seeing the possible future. Important and critical events seem to have priority, as major events may be years away (As seen with the events around Greg Stillson. Johnny must touch the individual in order to use his powers.
• Clairvoyance: Johnny can occasionally gain glimpses into individuals connected to others, as seen in the novel and in the movie albeit briefly. Johnny's range is more directed by the intensity of the connection between individuals he touches.

Contacts:
Johnny had contacts with his ex-fiance Sara and some local members of law enforcement.


Limitations:

• Lame: Johnny's injuries from the auto accident that put him in the coma have required the use of a cane. Johnny has problems manuevering and acting without it.
• Enemy: Greg Stillson: More in the novel than in the movie, Stillson's rise to power is paralleled by Johnny's life, which brings them into conflict. As such, Stillson would be an enemy of Johnny had the events at the end of the novel/movie not play out as they did.
• Unwanted Attention: Johnny lives as a recluse due to the unwanted attention his power brought. As such, Johnny suffers a -1c for reaction when confronted by any attention or notoriety.
