Read more about Charlie McGee at: Wikipedia Official Site: Stephen King Charlene Roberta "Charlie" McGee is a fictional character in the book and films, Firestarter and Firestarter 2: Rekindled. She was created by Stephen King. In the first film, she is portrayed by Drew Barrymore. In the second film, Skye McCole Bartusiak played the young Charlie and Marguerite Moreau played the 20 year old Charlie. Charlene "Charlie" McGee, a young girl possessing many potential abilities, amongst them most notably pyrokinesis—i.e., the ability to create fire with her mind. Charlie is a mutant; she was born with her abilities due to her parents (Andrew "Andy" McGee and Victoria "Vicky" Tomlinson) having participated in a mysterious government-funded experiment during college. Both parents had been injected with unknown amounts of a drug known as Lot Six, which, among other things, had been proven to alter the subject's chromosomes and pituitary gland. As a major effect of the Lot Six, Andy developed telepathic hypnosis, a mind control ability he calls the "push", the ability to create a state of extreme suggestion in the victim's mind or in other word's control someone's mind. Vicky developed minor telekinesis, the extent of her power being able to close a refrigerator door from across the room. Both of their powers are almost insignificant compared to the latent power of Charlie, who at one point is suspected of eventually being able to create a nuclear explosion from sheer will alone. It is also revealed that Andy's powers are self-destructive; prolonged use of the "push" causes him to suffer devastating headaches and brain hemorrhages. The government agency that sponsored the original drug trials, The Shop (Stephen King), regarded the experiment as a failure, with one member stating that humans were simply not evolved yet to make full use of the drug. However, although they unanimously regarded Andy and Vicky as useless test subjects and dead ends, it was also unanimously agreed that Charlie was a groundbreaking development, and as a result, the McGee family was placed under surveillance for around seven years.
