Taylor would have to believe that proof of Parahumans does not exist. The Equivalent of taking Maximum levels of Mundanity in Gurps IOU.
 
it would be a heck of a Stranger/Trump ability...

		heh, sounds like the Negapsychic class in Palladium's old Beyond the Supernatural RPG.  Their disbelief in the paranormal is so strong that their inherent psychic powers tun into a jamming field of sorts, shutting down nearby magic and psionics.
 So there's parts of Brockton Bay that the Capes all avoid (hero and villain) because something shuts down their powers in that region.  Their pretty sure it's a parahuman, cause it does move around, but whoever it is is (naturally) immune to Thinkers, and whoever it is doesn't run around in a costume (at least no new Capes have been reported.  Do they even know they have powers?)

 really, that kind of disbelief isn't unique, look at the fervent Flat-Earthers, who insist the orbital footage of the Earth being round is just an optical illusion. *shakes head*

 A power  that disables the powers of another parahuman would be a trump. If it was not a controlled power, then it would reinforce ones belief that Parahumans do not exist.

Arguably I think this is in the wrong thread as it is something that should be done, if for nothing but the nostalgia factor

		re: Mordor, She Wrote ... I'd just like to point out that Isaac Asimov wrote a short story in which the key is the realization that a man misheard "Mordor" (spoken by two college students) and thought he was listening in on the plotting of a murder.  Signaled by one ring of a bell, they would bind their victim and leave him lying in the shadows....

		I know that one.  It was one of his "Black Widower" mystery short stories, written in the late 1960s or early 1970s when the Tolkien reference would be just obscure enough to slip past his readers until the very end.

		To be fair, up until the movies Tolkien really was an obscure writer who wrote a few cult classics in the epic fantasy genre, and in many ways established that genre.

		Barty Crouch, Jr, thought that using the Imperious curse on his father - who'd kept him prisoner for ten years, after all - was going to be a fun way to take revenge, and to carry out his master's plan.
 He didn't count on Barty Sr having actually been born Bartholomew 'Barry' Heterodyne.
