In Gym of the Romantic Journey, there was a character who could see the future, and then bring it about. Once he shot someone with a paintball gun because someone was going to wipe him off with a paperclip, and they'd look silly if he didn't have paint on him. And once he rushed into a room where a fire started, and then was relieved that he didn't have to be the one to start it.
