Kindly submitted by Hazmat AGFA

During Consec's first semi-public demonstration of the results of their Research and Development programme to create telepaths, their tame telepath engages in a mental battle with a man seemingly picked at random from the crowd.

Unfortunately for this "Scanner", Consec are completely unaware that Darryl Revok, the person chosen, is himself a Scanner, only much more powerful than Consec's man. As a result, the head of the Consec Scanner explodes under the pressure of Revok's telepathic powers.

I'm about 6 months late, but I feel this needs to be shown.

Every time I think of this I start thinking of Wayne's World.

"You ever see that part in Scanners where the dude's head blows up?" Cuts to a video monitor with Garth, who looks like his mind is about to explode.
