Mesmero

Mesmero is a mutant.

Powers
Hypnosis: Mesmero is one of the most powerful hypnotists on the planet. His powers allow him to manipulate even the most powerful telepaths with nothing but eye contact. Once within his control, the effect will only either fade away or Mesmero will reassert it. The exact time that he is able to keep a person hypnotized is known to vary from person to person. In the case of mutants or superhumans, they are able to use their abilities for Mesmero's purposes. Though eye contact is required by his own admission, in the case of potent telepaths, it seems that a bit of disorientation and confusion might also be required and that a strong enough and prepared will can withstand his attempts to hypnotize him.
 * Memory tampering: He usually uses his abilities in such a way that the person regains consciousness with little or no memory of their previous activities. Mesmero can implant false memories or erase existing ones and shape a completely new personality.
 * Illusions: He can use his abilities to create illusions, making the victim see things Mesmero wants them to see. He was able to convince Marrow he was another person to sleep with her. She eventually figured out that it was him afterwards and the trick never worked on her again.
