It makes sense he’s a bit of a junkie and one heck of a delinquent. Peter Stanchek, a psiot on the run is depressed, scared, confused, lonely and highly powerful. If a kid really had these abilities to read others thoughts, hurt others with their mind, and so on, the kid would end up pretty messed up. The major difference with the X-Men here would be the extreme realism, and level of character depth. There’s a school for these gifted youngsters called the Harbinger Foundation where they go to hone their skills, and its owned by a very powerful Psiot known as Harada. Psiots are essentially a next evolutionary step in mankind according to the series, particularly with the psionic powers they develop. NBC’s Heroes also feels to have influenced it a bit.
Most notable would be the X-Men comparisons.
Harbinger takes a lot of influence from elsewhere. Suffice it to say, I think I’ve been hooked. A friend introduced the first volume to me a few days back. Harbinger was one of their first titles to see the revamp. Recently (as in 2012), Valiant has been given a rebirth, as fans and creators bought the line and restarted it. They started in 1990, created a cohesive and realistic superhero universe amongst their characters, and after selling their rights down the line, it all fell apart. Valiant Comics is a publisher I’ve, up to a few days ago, known nothing of.
