Hello! I’m writing a superhero comic, and one of the main characters is blind (they’re currently mid-twenties and have been blind since they were 11).

In my comic, several folks in a town gain supernatural abilities, my character (whose name is Adrian) included. Their powers involve Foresight: being able to look into the future for multiple possibilities and choose the path that fits them best, and Hindsight: seeing into the past.

Now, I want them to have their powers but also not take away their disability. I have a couple ideas how this can work, and I wanted your opinions on it!

How their Foresight works:
- When Adrian looks into the future, what they “see” is entirely dependent on what they’ve experienced before they went blind. Such as, if one future involves them purchasing a new car, they wouldn’t see what that car is, but they may remember their family car from their childhood and their subconscious fills in the blanks.

This applies to looking in the past as well. If Adrian wanted to see George Washington getting sworn in, the Washington they “see” may look like an illustration from a textbook or perhaps a statue they saw as a child. Basically, a lot of details of what things actually look like will be missing, or they will fill in the blanks subconsciously to fit what it may best look like.

Also, it takes a good amount of concentration to use their power, and it’s easier for them to view a future that’s further from the present, thus they couldn’t be constantly looking one second into the future or something to be able to “see” where they’re going.

This is just a couple ways I think the “Blind Prophet” tripe can still be applied but still having The disability be there, and not having them be “cured” when gaining these powers.

If you have any advice, any adjustments to their abilities and the like, I would greatly appreciate it!
