Giant-sized Action!
Plus: An Adventure of Hokum and Hex!
It will take many adventures for the Neo Paxis to fully comprehend the powers that they have been granted, but each is best paralleled with a level of human consciousness. George Yaneda has become a creature of pure instinct, a wild man who has a telepathic connection with untamed living things. Dyan Delight has become a dream manipulator, able to "read" the unspoken devices of sentient species, and call forth physical manifestations of those dreams. She is a mistress of the surreal, and surrounds herself with the detritus of other people's unconscious. Lisa Moffit will become the balanced heart of Praxis as time goes by; the one who attempts to reconcile its various factions. She has gained Eschbacher's ability to fly, to endure all manner of elemental extremes, and -- most importantly -- to use any physical object as an extension of her own body. She is in essence, the ultimate tool user. Kenny Zambetti, a sometime college drop-out, has inherited an intellectual grasp, which astounds him. He is the mathematical aesthete of the group: the one who can calculate to the thousandth point the likelihood of any eventuality. But his skill has more practical applications. He is able - by the most precise calculations - to find the weakness in any seemingly impregnable enemy. He in also able to clear his mind of all but pure calculations, at which time his consciousness becomes physical: an icy, lethal weapon.
