Biography
Vanessa Long’s parents were informed that she had
not survived birth. In truth she had, but was taken by
Project Cocoon, a secret program looking to create
psychic soldiers that had identified her psionic
potential. There, she was to be experimented on to
expand her powers and training to focus them until
she was the perfect weapon. However, the realityjumping
intervention of Visionary, an alternate
reality’s version of Vanessa Long who had gone
through such training, saved her from such a fate.
Visionary rescued her and Project Cocoon was
demolished. The infant was returned to her parents,
and she was given a normal childhood in the small
town of Ravenwood, just outside Rook City.

When Vanessa was 6 years old, her psychic
powers manifested. She fell into a coma and her
mind unleashed creatures born of her nightmares.
Many heroes had to work together to defeat the
nightmarish projections of The Dreamer. After
pinpointing her as the source, Visionary psionically
eased the young girl out of her coma, stopping
the manifestations, but leaving everyone shaken.
Visionary had hoped that by saving the child from
Cocoon, she had prevented her from developing
such powers, but it was all too apparent that
young Vanessa had the makings of a powerful
psychic. Vanessa tried to resume her home life,
but her parents were terrified by the thing they
no longer considered their daughter. Sensing the
girl’s distress, Dark Visionary (now an evil version
of herself that had previously been imprisoned),
removed the memories of The Dreamer from her
parents and everyone around. Young Vanessa Long
could finally live in peace — albeit a peace secured
by invasive psychic surgery.
Vanessa had no way of knowing that her parents’
memories had been altered, but she remembered
how uneasy everyone had been about her powers.
She refused to use them for years, until later in
middle school when she started to practice in
secret. This revealed truths that she wasn’t ready
for: hidden lies that everyone told themselves to
hide their own darker impulses, or even to prevent
themselves from being incredible. Things like “No
one will know,” or “I’m too dumb to try that.”
This led to her experimenting with her powers to
influence those inner feelings, bolstering confidence
and removing doubt to bring the best out in
people, or removing thoughts urging people to
their worst selves. This experimentation also led to
her discovery, around the time of OblivAeon, of the
mental blocks on her parents, which she decided to
