Can a great willpower give you access to mental abilities? I am a Marvel fan and I know that some characters have gained psychic powers using just their power of will, such as Dr Doom(that can mind control and mind exchange) and Dr Strange(he can absorb other people's powers with his mind). Although both of them are sorcerers those powers have nothing to do with magic. So, is there a possibility of gaining mental powers by sheer willing power and concentration?
