Powers
Empathy: Empath is a powerful empath who is able to sense, read, and manipulate the states of nearby beings, including their emotional state, intentions, and truthfulness. He can psionically control one emotion at a time, affecting many targets in the same area during that time. He can change the amount of control he exerts over his victims, such as a single emotional push or causing people to turn into complete emotionless zombies who bow to his every whim.

Empath is constantly bombarded by the emotions of people around him, and he must fasten onto a single, strong emotion to protect himself from being overwhelmed.
