Which was the first story featuring a psychic being unable to control his own powers and destroying his...
I'm watching an anime called Mob Psycho 100 (2012) who features a boy who has very powerful psychic powers and he's afraid of losing control over them since when he does he can destroy buildings or anything with them.
I've seen similar ideas to this in other animes / manga/ comics / live action sci fi movies, for example Akira (1982) where IIRC Akira destroys a city, X-men the last stand (2006), where Phoenix/Jean Grey tears an island apart, Looper (2012) where Cid/the Rainmaker tears people apart when he gets angry and is able to levitate people/objects and send massive shockwaves, etc.
Then my question is, which was the first story featuring a psychic being unable to control his own powers and destroying his surroundings with them?
