Overview

Blast villains with an array of offensive Psionic powers. Most Psychic Blast powers have long ranges, and few living beings can resist their effects. Creatures without minds, like machines and robots, are all but immune. It is a Defender secondary power set and a Blaster primary power set.

This powerset was added to the Blaster options in Issue 12.
