Adaptational Heroism: In the books, the Children's League turns out to be not very different from the government. Here though, while they still have a bad reputation, it's portrayed as false and they're heroes. Ruby joins them at the end.

Adaptational Superpower Change: Unlike in the books where there was no way to tell what color psi a person was unless they were seen using their powers, here the psis are depicted as having their eyes glow in the color of their government classification whenever their powers are used. Also the children who died from the IAAN virus also have their eyes glow similarly shortly before they die, which did not happen in the original novel. Possibly due to the Rule of Perception, because if all Psis could be identified thus Ruby would have been killed years earlier.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

In the books Yellow psi can generate and control electricity, with some who have difficulty controlling this ability causing minor electrical malfunctions or creating large bursts of electricity whenever they touch an electronic object. Here all Gold psi seem to require electronic objects to channel their power through.

Chubs is changed from being a Blue psi (being telekinetic) in the books to a Green (having Super Intelligence) psi here.
