Psycho Mantis!


Super clever boss fight, and all around eerie character. *reminisces about awesome moments from MGS1*

Also, I agree with the mention of Lawaxana Troi. Hilarious character. Episodes with her were interesting to say the least.

Okay, so maybe he's a fake, but that's just it: he's such a good detective that almost everyone believes he really has psychic powers! And he's funny to boot.
The more I think about him, the more he's like a slacker, 80s obsessed Sherlock Holmes.
Which is why Shawn wins!

There is only Yuri!

I guess he's awesome just because Udo Kier hams it up so much. He practically dominates every scene he's in in those games, which is saying a lot considering how hammy everyone else is.
Okay, what game is this from? I feel like I should know it, but I'm guessing I haven't played it.

And to name a psychic (or prophet as it is used in the books) that I like, Nathan Rahl from the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. He was awesome.

Shawn Spencer still wins! :)

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, and it's expansion pack, Yuri's Revenge.

That explains it, I never played it. Played the hell out of the first one in college though. Thanks!

Gregor Eisenhorn, he's a badass, controlling a corpse, making people think it's him and blowing it up in someone's face is just one of the many awesome things he does.

Honourable mention to Gideon Ravenor for smashing someone so hard into a wall he turns into a pulpy mass.

She's kinda unconventional, but Min from Wheel of Time. She's just so adorable, love her character.
And as someone else mentioned, River from Firefly.

Well, I am assuming the array of psychics from which we can draw spans any character from any piece of fiction, so I'll have to go with none other than...

<img src="http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101030215245/mspaintadventures/images/a/aa/Scratch_Unstable_Slow.gif" /img><color=#08FF4A>D<color=#FFFFFF>o<color=#08FF4A>c Scratch, from Homestuck.

[<color=#FFFFFF>Now, C F could launch into an unprecedented windfall about me that could be mistaken for a college writing assignment, but since the subject he'll be talking about is yours truly, I figured I'd take the show myself.
I trust you won't mind if I speak in white. It's not actually negotiable, but as a courtesy I will enclose my words between a pair of visually audible brackets. I am doing this simply because I can.

<color=#FFFFFF>I should note that C F has at least one misconception about me. I am not actually psychic.
I am merely an omniscient manipulator, a perpetrator of critical events, and a handsome devil.

<color=#FFFFFF>For those of you who are skeptical, and for the very few of you whose curiosity is now getting the better of you, I will not be answering questions. I will be returning to my narrative shortly, for there is work to be done. Work that has, from your point of view, already happened. But I shall tell you a bit about myself.

<color=#FFFFFF>I am an immortal entity in charge of overseeing a planet outside of your universe and tasked with facilitating the arrival of my invincible master.
I occasionally contact the subjects of my manipulation via instant messaging with my typewriter, and I do enjoy the occasional joke.
<color=#FFFFFF>In case you hadn't already noticed, I also have a cue ball for a head.

<color=#FFFFFF>For those of you who are baffled still, you might benefit from a bit of context. But I have overstayed my welcome, and the spoiler field has been an excellent host. I shall take my leave now. You may visit me in Act 5 Act 2 of Homestuck.
C F, you can have your post back. Farewell, Escapist Forums.]

Wait, what just happened?
Pffft, that guy isn't psychic

Shawn Spencer. No contest. You did say fictional psychic, so I can interpret that how I want.
He's the intentionally underestimated, brilliant, observant fake psychic of psychic fakedom! Plus, he usually gets better and more accurate results than people who are/believe they are psychics. :).

Gus: "How did you know that?"
Shawn: "I guess I must be psychic..."
Gus: *hits him*

There have been several fine mentions from the posters above me. But I gotta say:

Carl Jenkins from Starship Troopers. Because he was played by Neil Patrick Harris.

Oh! That means I get to say: Barney Stinson is my favorite psychic.

Ford Cruller.

Hmmm... Surprisingly few Psychonauts so far...

Hey, if any of you are still in doubt as to whom you should mention here - may I suggest Raz?

Definitely Paxton Fettel.
Oh sure, Alma was kind of creepy, but Fettel was the real star of the show in my opinion. I was so much more fascinated by him and his cryptic prophecies than I was by the spooky little girl in the red dress who I occasionally glimpsed out of the corner of my eye.
Plus, he has a freaking sweet jacket.

Eldrad from Warhammer 40k because it's all going just as planned.

So, Eldrad Ulthran is a dick. It seems shocking to hear and I know he is the guiding light of our people, but in all honesty, he's a total dick.

I know this because I served with him. You see, I am a Warlock. You can imagine my excitement when I was first assigned to his retinue. I took no heed to the fact his last set of Warlocks supposedly died in "a most ironic manner". I was young back then, only over 9000, and naive.

As soon as I met Eldrad in person he gave me my first order: "find a howling banshee exarch, and a witch blade for yourself, we are going to Setrus Prime (as the mon-keigh call it)." He actually said the parentheses by leaning forward and placing a hand beside his mouth to direct his voice to me alone. He is kind of a douche that way, we were in the room alone.

Anyway, Eldrad, the banshee exarch and I sortie to the planet's surface. I project some illusory cover to shield our hiding spot and the exarch and I await more orders. Before us a great battle is being waged between a force of the mon-keigh Space Marines and our fallen brethren, the Dark Eldar. About 20 minutes into the battle Eldrad points to a pebble by his foot and says "Move this small stone to where I am pointing now." He points to an innocuous patch of ground. Dumbfounded but trusting, I do as he says. No sooner had I reached cover did a Space Marine bike roar past me, straight over the pebble. The mighty treads of the bike's wheels fling the pebble up into an empty stretch of air. It hangs there for a moment, then a Dark Eldar reaver rushes into it, the pebble sucked into its jet intake. The reaver sputters then bursts into flames, accelerating rapidly, right into a Talos. The Talos was not of regular design, not that any ever are. This one was a mass of spinning blades with a screaming humanoid in its center, the body of which was too mutilated to even identify its race.

I might mention at this point that Eldrad has not turned to look at the ensuing chaos, instead he is staring in the direction of myself and our howling banshee companion.

When the reaver hit the talos, all hell broke loose as the twirling saws of the unsavory machine broke free like angry daemons being exorcised. I saw one blade, bouncing and racing directly towards us at ludicrous speeds. And I am an Eldar, I know speed. I brace my witch blade for the impact readying myself to take the blow, to save the farseer in my protection. The blades hit and both the saw and the witch blade veer off directly towards the banshee exarch. Both blades merely graze her, just deep enough to cut the restraints that hold her costume on. As her armour falls away exposing her breasts, I realize why Eldrad was staring at her. He giggles, then orders a full retreat.

What a dick.

A toss-up between Mewtwo (from Pokémon: The First Movie)....


or Gary Mitchell (From the Star Trek episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before").


Both, or course, because of their insane psychic abilities and an aura of megalomania to boot.

Jean Grey/Phoenix from X-Men. Because Telekinesis and Telepathy is a bitchin combo. That and she's the physical manifestation of the phoenix force. But yeah. Even without the phoenix thing, it's one of the best power combinations.
