Over the course of the film, my guesses included telekinesis and algae blooms wafting from Lake Merritt.

The movie script Tommy and Will are trying to sell centres on Roger Mitchell, a hero named after his teddy bear, who has three super powers - reading peoples' minds, changing peoples' minds and telekinesis.

Using a prenatal diet of hallucinogens, speed and radioactive isotopes, the couple produce their mutant progeny: conjoined twins; Aqua Boy; a hunchback; a seemingly typical child with telekinesis; stillborn infants exhibited in jars.

It was based on a Stephen King novel that wedded “Carrie”-redolent telekinesis to the kind of paranoia of “Three Days of the Condor.”

Those aptitudes — telepathy, telekinesis and a terrifying ability to control minds — are amplified when Ben is around the other children, who begin to share some of them.
