Letting Your Freak Flag Fly

Aberration Blog Hop:Finding The Most Aberrant Characters

By definition aberrant means the departing of an accepted standard, or the diverging from the normal type (Google search, 2013). Author, Lisa Regan, in celebration of the release of her second novel, Aberration, is hosting the blog hop, which runs through June 6th and 7th. In Aberration, FBI profiler, Kassidy Bishop is on the hunt for a serial killer who is an aberration - a freak - even among serial killers. In lieu of Regan's new novel, the Aberration Bog Hop is to highlight characters that, like the serial killer her main protagonist is searching for, might be labeled as 'different'.

Top 5 Aberrant Characters - Extracting the Extraordinary

5.) Powder (1995) - Jeremy "Powder" Reed (Sean Patrick Flannery) Powder on IMDb.com
4.) Phenomenon (1996) - George Malley (John Travolta) Phenomenon on IMDb.com
3.) Captain America (2011) - Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), his personality shines as a pipsqueak who has the personality of a hero, it is when his body is given the chance to catch up with his personality that makes him extraordinary. Captain America: The First Avenger on IMDb.com
2.) X-men: The Last Stand (2006) - Jean Grey/Phoenix (Famke Jannsen) Jean Grey-Summers telepathic and telekenetic powers X-men: The Last Stand on IMDb.com
1.) Wreck-It Ralph (2012) - Vanellope (voiced by Sarah Silverman) I love this character because within her game she is labeled as a 'glitch', in other words a 'freak'. But, everything is not as it seems! I didn't think I would like this movie, but quickly fell in love with it.

As a writer, almost like a 'bonus' character I would like to introduce you to Xylo. Xylo is an aberrant character within my first book, Going off Dreams (K.E.Nowinsky). She was not always different, but because of her choices in life, she has been transformed into a woodland dryad that is cursed with her indiscretions. To read more about the Woodland Dryad General, Xylo - read Going off Dreams.
