The character can't disable it, so they know whenever anyone is lying to them, driving the character nearly insane from all the lies. In some situations, this becomes a Blessed with Suck power. Some characters get the added bonus of being able to force people to tell the truth (as opposed to just remaining silent) rather than just detect deception. It could also be a prominent fringe benefit of a broader power like telepathy to directly reveal deceptive intent or Super Senses to detect subtle variations in the speaker's heartbeat, breathing, etc. It may be the natural ability of an alien or some other non-human species, it may be a super power specific to one human, or it may be the effect of some Applied Phlebotinum.


Sound lame? Other characters who have to spend at least five minutes in their presence don't think so. Leonard Samson, The Incredible Hulk (2008)Ī character with the ability to always know when someone is lying.
