1969 Novel
Mason is described in the novel as a "pale, skinny, freckled eighth grader", and is revealed that he was born on October 12, 1960. He is 13 years old as of June 1974. His father and mother had an argument when he was a baby and his father left; he never saw him again. His telekinetic powers are shown to be present throughout his life. For example, as a baby, he could levitate an object a few inches in the air, and one time he cracked his crib when he cried angrily. When he was in third grade, a taunting child rode past him on his bike. Mason levitated his bike and flew him into a tree trunk, breaking the bike and the child's leg. His mother saw him and dragged him home where he got thrown into his "punishment room", AKA the basement. He went there whenever he got grounded, and he was locked down there till he learned his lesson. But by the time he entered middle school, he began to sneak down some boy magazines to read when he got grounded.

In June 1974, Larry humiliates Mason in the gym shower by rerouting his shower pipes to a sewer pipe. This results in sewage coming out and pouring over Mason and causing him to fall out. As the boys keep laughing at him, the scareness/shock/angry-ness caused his powers to be unleashed. Mrs. Clarke, the gym teacher, runs into the boys room and takes Mason away putting a towel on him. She cleans him up and gets him fresh clothes from his locker. Then she scolds the bullies and for punishment she tells them they are suspended for 2 weeks; that means they will miss the prom as well. When Susan Miller, the next door neighbor, visits Mason's mom Courtney that night, she goes to Mason's room and talks to him about what happened. As she went to the same school as him, she heard about what happened. However, Mason refuses to talk, and Susan urges him to, until he gets so bothered, he drops a bookshelf between the two of them. This caused Mason to get curious and research his power, until he finally realizes he has telekinesis. He learns to control it quickly but learns whenever he gets mad or humiliated his powers will unleash.

When the senior prom comes, Susan asks her friend Jenny Wellington to take Mason to the prom. She refuses to at first but eventually agrees. Mason also accepts the invitation, though his mother isn't happy about it. She says Mason is too young to experience love, but Mason refuses to not go. Then things start to get aggressive, and Courtney is trapped in the basement while Mason leaves. At the prom, he makes new friends and comes out of his shell, and even gets elected prom king! Unfortunealy, during their "crowning moment", Larry and Lisa Barrens drop a bucket of puke over him, soaking him and ruining his outfit. Shocked by this, he runs outside crying, and when Jenny tries to comfort him, he pushes her back and the bucket breaks her head when it falls. Outside, he collapses on the lawn, when he remembers he has powers, and begins to use them to cause an earthquake in the gym. Everyone begins to run, but Mason locks the doors and windows and drops the electric scoreboard and manipulates several electric wires, crushing and electrocuting dozens of guests. This also causes a fire in the gym and Mason finishes everything off by flying cement pieces and wood around killing the rest. He then walks away as the gym begins to burn down the school.

Mason causes a rampage throughout town, destroying cars and buildings and even dropping telephone lines on several apartments crushing innocent people. Larry and Lisa try to run him over in Larry's truck but Mason telekinetically throws them into a telephone pole crushing them. He heads home where he sees Courtney has gotten out of the basement, and she sees what a monster he has become. Then, out of fear, she stabs him in the stomach with a knife and he collapses, and uses his last ounce of power to suffocate Courtney by closing her throat muscles. He lays on the floor, powerless, and when Susan arrives to comfort him, he cries out for god and dies in her arms.

1974 movie

Later it shows another telekinetic moment when he gets home and sees Susan. He then sadly walks inside and unknowingly drops a flower pot breaking it.
