Shelby Adair

Character from Super Powereds by Drew Hayes

A precognitive so powerful her visions may shape the future itself — Alice's mother, Charles's wife, trapped in a coma between the past she lost and the future she keeps seeing.

Shelby Hill Adair was a Powered precognitive — her visions of the future were incredibly strong but she couldn't control when they came or what they showed. Charles's illegal procedure was partly motivated by her condition; the cure gave her control, but the process put her into a coma. From her coma, she continues to have visions — including prophetic images of her grandson Chance (Nick and Alice's son) as the world's future champion. She communicates through dreamwalkers like Abridail and Mary, making her an active presence in the story despite her physical absence. She's the twin sister of Blake Hill and half-sister of Sean Pendleton, placing her at the center of the family web that connects the Adairs, Hills, and Pendletons. Her husband Charles both loved her and used her — a dynamic the series presents as genuinely tragic.
