While he is responsible for the founding of the original Freedom Force, Mentor remains a mystery, content to let other team members do the talking publicly. With his phenomenal powers of the mind, Mentor instills terror in his opponents, but the strange alien deals daily with a fear of his own…

Analysis:
Mentor is a useful support character, though he is weak in combat. His Psyche Slash melee attack does multiple hits, but it is slow and not very damaging; his Electron Beam is a more effective tool when he has to be on the front lines. He is slow in movement, especially when levitating. Instinct Dominance and Cortical Suppression are most effective against large groups of enemies, particularly when the rest of your heroes are overwhelmed by enemies in melee, or you need to distract enemies from something as a primary objective. Most often, however, he is best left off of the team, especially later in the game.
