As one example, he insists that John's strictures about going "topside" are dangerous and disregards them in order to save Irene's life, even at the risk of exposing the Tomorrow People.

Chronic Hero Syndrome: Stephen has a tendency to act like this, which gets him in trouble from time to time.

He was intended to be the most ruthless Ultra agent yet trained, and was even successfully able to kill another person without coming afoul of the Restraining Bolt.

Earlier, pre-series, John was this for Jedikiah.

Lampshaded in-verse when Kurt snarkily calls him by this appellation. He has also shown the ability to override a power-depression cuff to be able to signal Cara for help. He has abilities the other Tomorrow People lack, such as the ability to slow or stop time, as well as to exert his powers in a building in which Tomorrow People should not be able to exercise them. He has spent literally years planning to remove The Founder (Bathory) as an obstacle to his long-term goals, whatever they may be. As has Cara upon her taking up the mantle.

The Chains of Commanding: John has had to make some tough calls as The Leader of the Tomorrow People.

And one of Jedikiah's bosses is an HS who just wants to be on the winning side. Kurt sold out the Tomorrow People and led to three dead and more injured.

Category Traitor: Just about all the HS working for Ultra are considered this.

As one example, Russell accidentally brings Jedikiah Price back to the Tomorrow People's lair. In general, when something goes awry, it's because Russell happens to be involved somehow. The New York group has members from all over.

Birds of a Feather: Cara mentions that something about Tomorrow People's powers causes them to find each other and congregate.

However, in this reboot, it does not appear that he is anything more than an ordinary human being, abilities-wise.

Big Bad: As in the 1970s show, Jedikiah is this.

They spar particularly well with each other.

It is shown they don't have any compunction about killing civilians for the sole reason they had contact or seen the powers of HS.

We have yet to see if their human agents get the same treatment.

Neither Jedikiah nor The Founder have any compunction about killing "Homo Superior" (HS) Ultra personnel for even the slightest infractions.

Artistic License – Biology: Somehow - the series never explains precisely how - sampling a Tomorrow Person's DNA to duplicate their powers takes that DNA and the associated powers away from the donor.Cara hearing her father thinking "We're better off without you." Probably every Tomorrow Person except Stephen has heard that one from his family, and that's because he never told them.When Astrid suggests Stephen's telepathy is awesome, he points this out by citing how one guy was wondering if he had crabs.Apparently, so can some opiates, in addition to having a more broad-spectrum transient depowering effect. Anti-Mindreading: Running water can block telepathy.He tried to access it via a combination of time-stopping and teleporting but failed. Stephen's father believed this would be the refuge of the Tomorrow People. Action Bomb: Hilary uses one for a suicide attempt on the Founder.Accidental Pervert: Stephen starts out the pilot by accidentally teleporting in his sleep into his neighbours' bed, right in between the couple, while all three are wearing only pajamas or underwear.Accidental Murder: Cara killed a boy attempting to rape her, but his father was too well connected and she can never go back.Ambiguous Situation: Is Stephen's "connection" with Cara because of The Power of Love and because they are meant to be together? Or just his unusually powerful abilities allowing him to break through the normal limitations to reach out to her, which only intensifies after he develops an attraction for her and belief that they are connected?.Has a character sheet that needs some attention.

So what's a poor young Tomorrow Person to do? He joins Ultra, the very team that's hunting his kind, as the inside man for a small underground movement of renegade young Tomorrow People forced to live on the fringes as society has rejected them. As it happens, he's really part of a genetically enhanced new species, and they're being hunted by Muggles who fear them and their psychic powers. Stephen Jameson ( Robbie Amell) thinks he's mentally ill - he sleepwalks, he hears voices that shouldn't be there, the works. It was not picked up for renewal for a second season.
