Power Rank Progression

Telekinesis is the ability to manipulate the physical world through sheer force of will.

Unlike Super Strength, which relies upon physical power, Telekinesis allows a mutant to exert force at a distance, moving objects without touching them and reshaping their environment through mental concentration alone.

For some telekinetics, their power feels like an invisible pair of hands.

For others, it is a vast field of force extending outward from their mind.

As a telekinetic's abilities develop, they gain greater strength, finer control, and the ability to manipulate increasingly complex objects and environments.

A beginning telekinetic might struggle to move a book.

A master telekinetic can reshape the battlefield itself.

PRECISION AND POWER

Unlike many powers, Telekinesis develops along two separate paths:

Strength

How much force you can exert.

Precision

How accurately you can apply that force.

 

A Rank 1 telekinetic may be able to lift a coin.

A Rank 3 telekinetic may throw a car.

A Rank 5 telekinetic may remove a single bullet from a firearm without disturbing any of the other components.

True mastery requires both paths.

THE EVOLUTION OF TELEKINESIS

Telekinesis is often called the ultimate utility power.

It can be offensive, defensive, investigative, creative, or supportive depending upon how it is used.

A clever telekinetic can solve problems in ways that few other mutants can.

After all, when your mind can touch the world itself, every obstacle becomes a question of imagination rather than possibility.
