Prompt Idea #1
Know, picture this:
Humans once had superpowers, but the powers laid dormant for years. This is because the government convinced its people that it doesn’t have any superpowers and that they either had a mental problem or it’s just a cool ability that’s not very impressive. Basically, gaslighting and manipulating them to have them go crazy.
For example, a person who hears voices in their head is a telepath. A person who gets deja vu is someone who has precognition. A person who is schizophrenic has invisibility awareness.
If someone ever reveals that they do have superpowers, they would be in a psych ward or just called unique and rare. But, never the less, normal.
The schools don’t teach new students about how to control their powers like they used to. They just give them power inhibitors when they show signs of having powers of any kind.
You may be wondering, why did the government persuade it’s people that they don’t have superpowers and regulate them?
And I have an answer: It’s not about power. It’s not about personal gain… It’s because it got out of hand and they are not doing that again…
