One of the world's most gifted telepathic metahumans — now moonlighting as a private therapist for superheroes!
Psycho Witch (real name: Daylenis Pérez) is a telepathic Evolon whose ascent to superhero stardom was derailed just short of the pinnacle. A prodigy from the Havana branch of the ECA Superhero Academy, Daylenis graduated valedictorian of her cohort and was inducted into the frontline unit, the Guardians of Order, alongside Mr. Dynamite, Shrinking Violet, and Mortar Man. Her tenure was flawless, but her team proved to be a ticking time bomb. Within two years, scandals involving graft, substance abuse, and corruption tore the squad apart, prompting the ECA to dissolve the team and scrub the Guardians of Order from records.
Unscathed by the scandal thanks to her track record, Daylenis successfully pivoted into civilian life. Under ECA oversight, she founded the "Dr. Pérez Psychological Center" to treat both civilians and superheroes. Though officially retired from duty, Psycho Witch remains on the ECA reserve registry — and many believe it is only a matter of time before circumstances drag her back into the field...
A Threat Level 4 Evolon, Daylenis wields powerful psionic abilities. Her abilities extend far beyond passive telepathy: for example, she can read thoughts, extract secrets, weaponize phobias, and alter or rewrite memories.

SUPERPOWER
Psycho Witch is among the most dangerous psionic metahumans on record. According to ECA registry statistics from 1998, psionics account for merely 15% of all identified Evolons, making every telepath an invaluable asset. Within this bracket, Daylenis ranks near the apex of psychic potency, surpassed in only by the telekinetic Kinetic Siren.
Her primary gift is mental domination, which she can execute without needing direct line of sight or eye contact. Once inside a subject's consciousness, Daylenis can navigate her victim's neural pathways with the precision of a hacker cracking code: she can make them feel extreme pain without causing physical injury, induce artificial emotional states, read thoughts, create hallucinations, and rewrite memories. The longer she maintains a psionic connetion, the deeper and more permanent her alterations become.
For example, during trials in Zurich, Daylenis forced an untrained ECA clerk to strip down and reassemble an AK-47 rifle in eleven seconds by implanting an artificial memory that convinced him he was a hardened combat veteran.
WEAKNESSES
Daylenis greatest liability is bandwidth: Psycho Witch can target (and maintain mental contact) with a single individual at any given moment. In group skirmishes, this single-thread limitation leaves her completely exposed.
Laboratory tests also reveal that altering another Evolon's mind takes significantly longer, with high-willpower targets providing resistance. Additionally, her telepathy is human-centric; animals, robots, or alien biologies with minds fundamentally distinct from humanity are immune to her powers.

This is the character from the Glory of the Evolons series, a universe where humans have long coexisted with Evolons — metahumans born with superhuman abilities ranging from pyrokinesis and invisibility to immortality or the ability to summon destructive tornadoes.
For much of history, Evolons were considered mere myths. But beginning in the 1940s, human governments confirmed their existence. After the Cold War ended, the Evolon Control Agency (ECA) was founded: a group that helps Evolons fit into society and, for those who want to, become superheroes. Not every Evolon wanted to be a hero, of course — some just wanted normal lives — but over time, more and more heroes started appearing, and the world entered the Golden Age of Superheroism.
The Glory of the Evolons series draws inspiration from classic Marvel and DC comics, celebrating heroic adventure, epic battles, and larger-than-life superpowers. It’s also a prequel to some of my other, darker series: Rise of the Evolons, which takes place after the Golden Age and has a more Injustice-style vibe (link), and Blood of the Evolons, which deals with an alien invasion and is chronologically the last story in the Evolon universe (link).
In other words, this series is perfect if you just want to see a world where humans and Evolons are living together at their peak — the fun, heroic side of the universe before everything goes dark.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORLD
— What is "Evolon"? —
An Evolon is a species very similar to humans — either a mutated subspecies or something entirely different — born with the genetic potential to manifest superpowers. They’re also called metahumans. Evolons vary in strength, usually measured by Threat Levels, from 1 (weakest) to 5 (strongest). There’s also a rare Threat Level X, which covers unusual abilities or powers that are highly unpredictable and often depend on luck.
— Evolon Control Agency (ECA) —
The ECA is an international organization that helps Evolons live alongside humans and, if they want, train as superheroes. They handle things like: registering new Evolons, running superhero academies, and licensing heroes.
Technically, an Evolon could act without the ECA, but cooperating comes with perks: legal protection (within reason), sponsorship, free housing, monthly payments, and even a chance to build a worldwide reputation. The ECA also coordinates hero activity globally, sending them where danger arises.
— The League —
The League is the largest supervillain organization during the Golden Age of Superheroism. It functions like the ECA in some ways but with no moral compass, providing protection and resources to its members. Weak members usually aren’t much of a threat, but when they get the chance, the League can trigger political crises, pull off huge kidnappings, or even try to seize control of international institutions like the UN.
Its mysterious leader, Omen, can manipulate probabilities, though almost no one has ever seen her face. Aside from her, the League is fairly decentralized.

BACKSTORY
Daylenis Pérez was born in Manzanillo, Cuba, into immediate hardship. Her father vanished before she was born, and her mother struggled with alcoholism and unemployment. At the age of four, child welfare intervened, placing Daylenis into a church-run orphanage where she spent the remainder of her youth. Resentful and defensive, Pérez developed a reputation as a difficult child who bullied weaker peers and antagonized the staff.
Her psionic abilities awakened at age ten, manifesting as a cacophony of mental "whispers" that she quickly learned to decipher and steer. At first, Daylenis exploited her telepathy for petty advantages — stealing exam answers and eavesdropping on personal secrets for entertainment. The mischief turned tragic when an orphanage matron barred her from a school excursion as disciplinary action. Seeking payback, Daylenis psychically compelled the woman to step off the facility's roof. Though the fall was not fatal, the severe compound fractures horrified Pérez. Overcome with guilt, Daylenis confessed her abilities to the administration, who contacted the ECA. Arriving field agents classified the ten-year-old as a Threat Level 4 Evolon.
To secure both public safety and an invaluable asset, the Agency enrolled Daylenis in the Havana Superhero Academy. There, she disciplined her powers, established boundaries, and swore never to weaponize her telepathy for malice again. Upon reaching adulthood, she debuted under the moniker Psycho Witch and was assigned to the high-profile roster of the Guardians of Order alongside Mr. Dynamite, Shrinking Violet, and Mortar Man.
Backed by extensive corporate funding and media fanfare, the team initially succeeded, but quickly rotted from the inside out. Within months, Mr. Dynamite developed a narcotics habit and embezzled squad stipends, Shrinking Violet began trading in corporate espionage, and Mortar Man exhibited sociopathic collateral damage on deployments. Recognizing the disaster, the ECA disbanded the team, scrubbing the Guardians of Order from press releases. Daylenis — the sole member who fought to preserve the squad's integrity — was spared the purge, placed on active reserve, and granted honorable civilian transition status.
Seeking internal peace, Daylenis turned toward Buddhist philosophy, dedicating her superpowers to mental rehabilitation rather than violence. With the Agency’s endorsement, she founded the Dr. Pérez Psychological Center in Atlas City, offering psionic therapy to civilians and unstable superheroes alike.
PERSONALITY
-
Daylenis is calm, soft-spoken, and grounded young woman. Naturally phlegmatic, she moves at a leisurely pace and carries a perpetual sleepy half-smile that often leads strangers to dismiss her as lazy. Under crisis or combat pressure, however, Daylenis snaps into a cold, hyper-competent tactician. Ashamed of her orphanage years as a foul-mouthed tomboy, Daylenis rarely discusses her past.
-
Daylenis is a powerful psionic capable of invading and reprogramming minds, affecting humans and Evolons equally (fauna, androids, and alien minds are immune). Her abilities span telepathic surveillance, memory extraction, sensory agony, horrific waking nightmares, and permanent personality rewrites via false memory implants. Daylenis can focus on only one mind at a time. Stripped of psionics, Daylenis remains lethal in close quarters, holding black belts in karate and aikido.
-
Daylenis runs the Dr. Pérez Psychological Center out of a penthouse suite on the 17th floor in Atlas City, which doubles as her residence. Decorated in traditional Japanese aesthetics, the clinic features tatami flooring, sliding shoji screens, a bamboo grove, and even a balcony rock garden. Daylenis guarantees practitioner-patient confidentiality under her medical license.
-
Daylenis is an intuitive clinician who reads micro-expressions and body language before ever deploying her telepathy. Sessions begin hospitably with freshly brewed herbal tea, conversational therapy, guided meditation, and ambient soundscapes. For deep-seated trauma, Daylenis psychically guides clients through memories to purge mental blocks. Surgical memory wipes or personality edits are treated as last resorts, legally requiring written consent and the physical presence of two ECA monitors.
-
Daylenis remains an active asset on the ECA superhero registry despite her civilian pivot. She keeps her old Psycho Witch uniform sealed in a hidden wall vault in her clinic and occasionally consults for the Agency when psionic interrogations or mental cleanses are required.
-
Under federal metahuman law, Daylenis must permanently wear an ECA-issued psionic inhibitor badge on her lapel, even in plain clothes. Due to her telepathic capabilities, Daylenis is legally barred from visiting banks, casinos, poker halls, or sports-betting parlors without an Agency-appointed chaperone.
-
A practicing Mahayana Buddhist, Daylenis spends her downtime meditating, burning incense, and studying sutras. Daylenis adheres to a pescatarian diet, consuming only fish, fruits, and vegetables while refusing the meat of warm-blooded creatures.
-
Daylenis is close friends with Teresa Stankevič, a well-known superheroine formerly known by the alias Shield-Maiden. Like Daylenis, Teresa is no longer active as a superhero; instead, she works part-time as a PE teacher at the Atlas City superhero academy. Daylenis and Shield-Maiden often meet for therapy sessions or go jogging together.
The story takes place in an alternate version of Earth during the 2000s, a world where humanity has long coexisted with the Evolons — metahumans identical to ordinary humans, but born with extraordinary abilities such as cryokinesis, flight, or superhuman strength.
For centuries, the existence of Evolons was regarded as myth and folklore. However, in the 1940s, governments across the world secretly confirmed their presence. Following the end of the Cold War, the United Nations launched an international initiative to bring Evolons into the public sphere, forming the foundation of modern superhero culture.
To oversee this effort, the Evolon Control Agency (ECA) was established. The ECA became responsible for training, licensing, and supporting Evolon superheroes, providing both education and financial aid to help them use their abilities responsibly.
Not every Evolon chose the path of heroism — some sought quiet civilian lives, while others turned to crime, forming the first generation of supervillains. Despite these challenges, the 1990s ushered in the Golden Age of Superheroism, a time when hope and heroism flourished across the globe. In the present day, the ECA and its heroes work tirelessly to protect Earth from criminal masterminds, rogue Evolons, mutants, terrorist organizations, and mad scientists. Their greatest adversary is The League, a shadowy network of powerful supervillains whose operations span continents and whose ultimate goals remain shrouded in mystery.
The Evolon universe doesn't have aliens or any evidence of extraterrestrial or extraterrestrial life. Magic is also absent. Almost all antagonists are hostile Evolons (metahuman supervillains), criminals, terrorists, mutants, robots, and so on.
Daylenis is a superhero and a Level 4 Threat Evolon (metahuman) possessing the powers of a formidable telepath. She was once a member of the infamous superhero team known as the Guardians of Order, but she left after the team was forced to disband due to various scandals. Currently, Daylenis still works for the ECA, though she has not worn her superhero costume in months, instead maintaining a private practice as a psychologist at the Dr. Pérez Psychological Center.

Morning light broke over the Atlas City, painting the glass spires in shades of pale rose and gold. The so-called Capital of Super-Heroism was gearing up for another day, and life in a metropolis packed with capes had its distinct set of... quirks. On any given Tuesday, you never truly knew if your commute would be uneventful or if a renegade inventor’s fifty-foot war mech would step through your office building. And frankly, property damage was the best-case scenario. On bad days, something closer to home caught the crossfire — like your sedan getting tossed through a billboard, your living room catching stray plasma fire, or, well... your own ribcage catching the bullet.
Still, you adapted. People always did.
For Daylenis Pérez, who had long since traded brawls for a quiet civilian practice, the morning was off to a blissfully tranquil start. Finishing a sequence of katas out on the seventeenth-floor balcony, she rolled her shoulders back and stepped inside. The entire penthouse — home to the Dr. Pérez Psychological Center, by far the most exclusive and costly clinic in the city — smelled of dried cedar and sea salt. Slipping into a loose, bright-green kimono, Daylenis walked past the shoji screens and sprinkled a pinch of flake feed into the basin of her indoor pond, watching the flash of white and orange koi break the surface.
"Now then... who did ECA dispatch pencil in for nine o'clock?" she murmured, her voice still a little sleepy. "Not Mr. Chen. His post-traumatic sweep isn't until Friday afternoon. And Captain Apex’s anger-management block was pushed to next month after his publicist had a meltdown... Captain Vindicator's panic attacks? Cancelled yesterday. Little Spark’s PTSD? Next week..." Daylenis paused, tapping her temple with a soft laugh, before clapping her hands together. "Ah! Right. A first-timer, then!"
Daylenis set a kettle onto the plate to brew mint tea and arranged a porcelain saucer of okashi rice treats on the low table. Smoothing down the front of her kimono, she walked barefoot across the tatami mats, and stopped in front of the elevator foyer.
Lifting her thumb, Psycho Witch pressed the intercom pad beside the security scanner.
"Good morning, and welcome to the Dr. Pérez Psychological Center! Could you please state your full legal name, whether you have an appointment with me today, and your intake reservation number, if you have one handy? I'll call the private elevator down for you in just a moment..."

Daylenis’s lifelong dream had never felt closer to reality!
For nearly six months, she had been setting aside her clinic earnings for a trip to Hanoi. Then, the universe dropped the entire itinerary into her lap for free: the ECA had chartered her flight, covered every travel expense, and booked her into a gorgeous hotel in the heart of the Old Quarter. In other words, it was idyllic, comfortable, and practically a dream come true, save for one tiny complication.
This wasn't a holiday. It was a deployment.
Pushing open the swing door, Daylenis slipped into the ECA tactical hub nestled deep inside the hotel’s laundry facility. The air hummed with industrial dryers, folding tables buried under monitors, and half a dozen field analysts wearing headsets over rolled-up dress shirts.
"Morning, team! Honestly, these past forty-eight hours have been delightful. The street food alone is worth the flight — I spent half of yesterday afternoon browsing the Old Quarter market, had the most exquisite vegetarian pho near Hoan Kiem Lake, and even sat for a morning meditation at the Tran Quoc and-..."
Psycho Witch paused mid-sentence, blinking as she caught the stone-faced stares of the tactical team.
"Right... reconnaissance! I haven't forgotten, don't worry. For the record, the streets feel calm. Not a flicker of psionic unrest out there. But let’s keep this efficient, shall we? I’d really love to wrap our business up so I can spend my weekend touring Ha Long Bay and the marble mountains before heading back to the clinic in Atlas City. My clients get very anxious when I extend my leaves!"
Details on the operation had been kept sparse on the flight over, but Daylenis knew enough to recognize this wasn’t a standard superhero job. Local intelligence suggested that somewhere beneath the exhibits of the international Hanoi Technology Expo, executive brass from Neuroline Industries intended to finalize a transaction with representatives from the League — the most entrenched supervillain syndicate left on the map.
Daylenis pulled out her superhero uniform and began working the reinforced sleeves over her arms with ease. Her tone shifted, the sleepy tourist demeanor giving way to the precision of an active-duty veteran.
"Now then, since you pulled me out of my robe and into a damp basement, what’s the brief?" she asked, rolling her wrists to flex the gloves. "Who am I targeting? Do you need me to slip into an executive's head and extract an encryption key? Eavesdrop on a negotiation? Plant a psychic block? I'm ready to handle whatever the job requires - just keep in mind the same ethical boundaries I filed with Geneva on day one. No fatal scrambles, no irreversible personality erasures. Keep it clean, and we’ll both get what we want..."

It was business as usual in Atlas City: another afternoon, another brawl tearing up the skyline.
Collateral damage had turned so mundane that a betting pool had sprung up across local message boards — people wagering on which psycho would strike next, which caped ace would drag them to lockup, and how many city blocks would end up leveled during their battle. With the mayoral election looming, everyone expected an uptick in chaos, but nobody could have predicted a play this suicidal.
"Command, do you copy?! That airship reaches Central Park in ten minutes!" Daylenis shouted through her comms, wind whipping against her headset. "I breached the cargo bay! They... They have got a a chemical bomb bolted to the deck! This isn’t Omen’s style; looks more like an operation by Quasi-Master or the Princess of Destruction. I can crack the firing mechanism, but I need backup up here right now! Every other Evolon on the ground is tied up managing street evacuations, and I've got two hired guns pinning me to the catwalk—"
A razor-edged projectile whistled through the gale. Daylenis dropped flat, pivoting on her hip to roll sideways across the deck plates as the spinning disc sheared straight through a stanchion where her neck had been a second earlier.
Her morning yoga routine was paying dividends.
Despite the stakes — with millions of lives on the line — Psycho Witch felt a pulse of excitement shoot through her chest. It had been years since she tasted real combat, and beneath the calm exterior, that old competitive thrill was roaring back to life. If she survived the day, she’d have plenty of stories to laugh over with Teresa during their next lunch...
Springing to her feet, Daylenis brought her battle staff up into a guard stance, eyes locking onto the two mercenaries blocking the bomb platform.
"Crimson Disc and Lady Grinole. Last time I saw your mugs, you were getting dragged out of a downtown bank vault on the six o’clock news. Didn't realize they let you out on work release. Please, make this easy on yourselves and drop the gear. I belive neither of you wants to—"
Crimson Disc sneered, raising his gauntlet and launching three whistling discs in rapid succession.
Daylenis didn't flinch. She shut her eyes, letting her consciousness dive past his nerves, bypassing the physical world to strike directly at his amygdala.
"THE FUEL LINES ON YOUR JETPACK ARE PIT VIPERS. THEY’RE BITING THROUGH YOUR HARNESS. THEY’RE VENOMOUS, JUST LIKE THE ONES ON GRANDPA JOHN'S RANCH. YOU ARE COMPLETELY HELPLESS"
Crimson Disc shrieked in sudden terror, his hands clawing frantically at his own shoulders as he hit his thrusters in a panic, spiraling away from the airship.
Before Daylenis could refocus her psychic reach, a whip-fast silhouette struck. Lady Grinole’s arm elongated, morphing into a heavy, rubbery mallet that slammed into Daylenis’s abdomen. The impact knocked the wind clean out of superheroine's lungs, sending the Psycho Witch skidding backward, teetering dangerously over the drop of the open cargo ramp...
"Ah!"
