Anyone have any thoughts on the stats for the S.H.I.E.L.D. Psi Division? I can find very little on them.

Do you want the old 80's type characters?

For supers we had:
Blue Streak
Wendell Vaughn (Marvel Boy)"Quasar".
Texas Twister
Vamp "Animus"
All in the handbooks, as I recall...

Ivory
Knock-About
Psi-Borg
Violence

See dragon magazine 188 (although look online too, perhaps).

Mentallo started in SHIELD, a fine early example (SHIELD supers almost always went bad or were bad)

As to newer entries, I do not know them well, but S.H.I.E.L.D. Psi Division members might be more whom you are asking about?

If you're referring to the ESP Division in Strange Tales 143, here's my take:

F: Gd
A: Gd
S: Ty
E: Ex (long hours spent doing psi work)
R: Ex
I: Rm
P: Ex

Just an Ex Psyche because the issues I read showed three or more acting in concert, but I bumped their Intuition to Rm to reflect their SHIELD training and psi ability.

Does that help?

It is propitious as theory

I was looking for less of the super hero and more of the minor telepaths that they might employ. I remember in a more modern comic one of them digging into Spiderman's mind about House of M. Thanks for the stats and the good advice that the super shield agents go bad quick.

no problem...the link has gone bad for some reason, i will try again:
[.H.I.E.L.D._Psi_Division_members" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">marvel.fandom.com]

This is the agent you are thinking of:
[marvel.fandom.com])

Pel Morba's ideas are good too. If you want a more variable/random method, take the book SHIELD agent entry, roll 7 times on the Ability Modifier Table. Place adjustments to suit/make a psi type agent. Roll or pick some mental powers or related powers that suit. And so on.

SHIELD Agent
F: GD A: TY S: TY E: GD R: TY I: TY: P: TY
armored suit GD BA vs physical, EX vs fire
blaster EX dam at 5 areas
thermite bomb EX fire
handgun GD shooting
frag grenade RM edge, 1 area
strangling wire
flexible saw, radio-link, pocket computer, 2 ammo clips
talents: all have military, 1st aid & detective/espionage. some have martial arts, wrestling, sp weapons, marksman & piloting skills

Ability Modifier Table
Dice.............Modification
01-15...........Reduce by one rank
16-50..........Remain unchanged
51-70..........Increase by one rank
71-85..........increase by two ranks
86-95.........Increase by three ranks
96-00..........Increase by four ranks

Let me try one...72(+2) 68(+1) 47(-) 52(+1) 97(+4) 32(-) 78(+2)

ESPer Agent Amanda Moore (Mandi) "Thought Mistress"
Fighting: GD (8)
Agility: (TY+2)= EX (16)
Strength: TY (5)
Endurance: (GD+1)= EX (16)
Reason: (TY+1)= GD (8)
Intuition: (TY+2)= EX (16)
Psyche: (TY+4)= IN (36)

Health: 45
Karma: 60
Resources: TY
Popularity: 5

powers 53% 3/4
telepathy: IN
*PS: mental probe EX
mind control: EX

talents 2/5
military, 1st aid, detective/espionage, pilot, martial arts C

contacts 2/4
military, crime, law enforcement, espionage

armored suit GD BA vs physical, EX vs fire
blaster EX dam at 5 areas
thermite bomb EX fire
handgun GD shooting
frag grenade RM edge, 1 area
strangling wire
flexible saw, radio-link, pocket computer, 2 ammo clips

I swapped the power ranks of telepathy & mind control, as I didn't want them to be too powerful, and figured giving the power stunt free was a fair trade off seeing as they spent 2 powers on mind control & then weakened it. Mind control is most assuredly not a heroic power, so she or he is well set to maybe go villain...
