Who is Peter Stanchek?

Origin Original Valiant Universe (1991-1996) Peter Stanchek realized he was different when his powers started manifesting. He saw an advertisement for the Harbinger Foundation which promised to help people like him. He met the head of the foundation, Toyo Harada who was himself a Harbinger. A Harbinger is a person born with psionic powers. Harbingers have many variations of this power and it manifests differently for each person. Pete and Toyo were both Omega Harbingers, which meant they were the most powerful and could use their powers in a variety of ways. This fact is what got Toyo interested in Peter. At first, Pete trusted Toyo, thinking he would help him.
