Mind's eye (minor) by Iczer
"Hmm... tall, Caucasian female...with a predisposition towards obesity"
The character is a kind of in-built genetic scanner, able to perform a miracle of modern science with but a touch, taste or sample. Primarily, the character can take any viable, DNA sample he is touching, and recreate the donor in his mind's eye. Thus by touching a drop of blood from a crime scene, the character can get a mental picture of that person's makeup and likely appearance.
Other abilities:
- Can make a guestimate about genetic likelihoods based on samples he is in contact with. such factors can include risk of heart disease and other illnesses. accurate to within 4-6%
- Automatically recognizes people with overt genetic conditions (Recognizes shapeshifters by touch, and can differentiate between people who are aliens, mutants and other power categories (though cannot differentiate between the purely human power categories)
- Can make an educated guess at a superpowered being's actual powers by touch. 45% chance, +3% per level. these guesses are never perfect, but are usually accurate (Instead of "he has energy expulsion fire" you might get "he's an energy projector...probably heat")
- +5% to medical skills and biology. +10% further if working on problems regarding their genetics.
