Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })First published in two parts as "The Mule" in Astounding Science Fiction (November and December 1945 issues), by Isaac Asimov. This Science Fiction Novella takes place after the events of "The General (Foundation)" and in 1996, it earned first place in the 1946 Retroactive Hugo Award for Novels. A Mutant with Psychic Powers takes control of Kalgan, and from there, the biggest storyline in The Foundation Trilogy begins.

Accent Adaptation: Magnifico speaks what is described to be the dialect of the galactic centre. Asimov translates it as Flowery Elizabethan English.

90% of Your Brain : Part of the Emotion Control powers that the Mule has allows him to cause intuition and creativity to skyrocket, at the expense of their lives. He describes human brains as normally operating at 20% efficiency (essentially failing to use 80%), and he can use his power to force all of it to work non-stop without any chance to rest for weeks on end.

Arc Villain: Unlike the usual Monster of the Week format of crisis/challenges the Foundation faces, this time we have the Mule, an apparently unstoppable Galactic Conqueror who successfully defeats Seldon and shatters the plan nearly beyond saving. The Mule is miles above anything the Foundation has ever faced, causing Terminus to fall for the first and only time ever in its history. Yes, the Foundation loses to him. He does this with relative ease, outsmarts Foundation's insurgents and in Part Two, starts his plan of tracking down the legendary Second Foundation, which is surrounded in myth and rumored to be able to defeat him.
