The Hood (Thunderbirds) är känd för sina uppblåsta ögon i serien och snurrande naglar i filmen (se bilder nedan). För en science-fiction show / movie, verkar dessa krafter överraskande magiska. Finns det någon referens ever (allt material accepterat) till var han fick sina befogenheter och arten av dessa makt (psykologiska experimentet gick fel!)?
Hans krafter är okända från sitt ursprung. Det anges så i wikien för huven .
Enligt TV och serier
Throughout the series, the Hood was shown to be a master of disguise, using various masks to try and discover the secrets of the Thunderbirds machines and carry out various missions. He also possessed strange hypnotic powers of unknown origin, although these abilities were apparently limited to making people carry out simple commands, such as to follow him or put them to sleep. He was also apparently unable to use these powers to acquire information; on one occasion he attempted to force Brains to tell him the location of a lost treasure by burying him up to his neck in sand and sunlight and depriving him of water rather than simply hypnotising him to learn the answer, suggesting that he cannot make people tell him information but simply make them carry out certain actions.
Enligt filmen
In the film, the Hood's abilities were changed to telekinesis, allowing him to levitate himself and move objects, although his temporary control of Lady Penelope and Parker's bodies when they attempted to rescue the Tracys suggests that he retained at least some of his old hypnotic powers. However, over-use of these abilities weakened him, and—in a marked contrast to the series—his niece Tin-Tin was also shown to possess these abilities, although she only ever used them to help her friends; she even managed to overpower her uncle in a duel, although he had been weakened by over-using his powers while fighting Alan.
Wikipedia och Thunderbirds Wikia anger båda att hans makts ursprung är okänt (btw, båda sidorna är nästan samma):
"(...) – remain a mystery, as does the origin of his mysterious hypnotic powers. (...)"
I avsnittet "Kraft och förmåga" på båda sidorna nämns inte ursprunget.
