Matthew Freeman

Background
Matt was 8 years old when his parents died in a car crash. He was adopted by his aunt and uncle, Gwenda Davis and Brian Conran (both now deceased), and taken to live in Ipswich. Matt became involved in petty crime including shoplifting and trespassing, and was eventually arrested by the police for his involvement in a violent robbery. He was then placed in the LEAF project, a fostering program for juvenile offenders, and sent to live in a village called Lesser Malling, Yorkshire, England, where he was befriended by journalist Richard Cole and was involved in an incident at the defunct Omega One Nuclear facility.

Power
Telekinesis – the ability to move objects with the mind.

Clairvoyance - the ability to predict the future accurately (like he did with his parents' death).

Other details
Matt is the natural, undeclared leader of the Five, which is often a heavy burden for him to bear. When Matt’s powers manifest themselves, he often notices the smell of burning toast – he ties this in to his experience on the morning of his parents’ death.
