Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Displaced Paranormals 7 (better known as DP7) was a comic created as part of the launch of Marvel's The New Universe lines of comics. It featured seven ordinary people who, as a consequence of the mysterious "White Event", found themselves imbued with strange powers. The series lasted for 32 issues from November, 1986 to June, 1989. There was also an Annual published.The series was noteworthy due to its realistic (for its day) examination of the real-world consequences of developing paranormal abilities. While some of the main characters had powers that were clearly advantageous, others had powers that were either balanced by tremendous costs or else were almost entirely negative.David Landers was immensely strong and equivalently durable.Dennis Cuzinski's body exuded an acidic substance which effectively cut off any chance of an intimate physical relationship.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Jeffrey Walters had superspeed, but had to eat constantly to avoid starving to death.Lenore Fenzl was forced to cover every square inch of her body due to exuding an energy which acted as a form of anesthesia upon other people. Used for longer periods, her power also provided her a form of parasitic (and ultimately addictive) energy boost.Randy O'Brien created "anti-bodies", energy-based copies of himself, each of whom exhibited unique personality traits, and one of whom eventually committed murder.Charlotte Beck could alter the frictional properties of nearby surfaces, with no apparent ill effects upon herself.Stephanie Harrington exuded an energy which granted physical ability boosts to herself and anyone who touched her (effectively a transmissable version of a healing factor). She was able to combine this with She-Fu in combat.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The characters meet after being committed (either voluntarily or upon the request of their families) to the Clinic For Paranormal Research. The group escape after David and Randy discover that the clinic is engaging in secret Mind Control experiments, and spend the first year of the comic being hunted across America by the Clinic's own paranormal agents.The series was notable for being a high-water mark for its time in terms of writing and the quality of its story. It is a clear forerunner- both in tone and content- of the television series Heroes. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
D.P. 7 (Comic Book) / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: This was a Marvel comic, so it's a given this trope would be invoked. David's powers were slowly killing him; Dennis, Lenore, and Randy all had Power Incontinence, at least at first; Stephanie's husband wouldn't let her near their children until and unless she had herself Brought Down to Normal. Stephanie's husband had no problems changing his mind though and 'tolerating' her return after he contracted AIDS, since her powers were the only way to ensure his survival. Once she learned the truth she promptly kicked him to the curb. | |
