#28 – Honest John
Honest John is a superhero who must never know. John Canfield, customs officer, emits a field around him that makes people within a 5 meter radius tell the truth. John has never had to face a lie from anybody in person, and considers lying an invention of (bad) authors and television producers. The trouble is, he can’t tell a lie, either. So if he was ever to find out about his powers, he would tell people eventually, and lose his advantage. Thus, the Marginal Men always have to find ways of working with him without telling him.
