Molecular Distortion
Background
Molecular Distortion is the ability to alter, destabilize, or destroy the molecular structure of objects, beings, or the environment. This ability allows the user to manipulate matter at the molecular or sub-molecular level, causing it to break down, warp, or disintegrate. The exact effects can vary depending on the user’s control over the ability, ranging from minor distortions to complete molecular breakdown.
Molecular Distortion involves tampering with the molecular bonds and structures that make up matter. By altering or destabilizing these molecules, users can cause objects or beings to disintegrate, warp in shape, or collapse in on themselves. The ability is typically destructive, but skilled users may also use it to reshape or repair molecular structures in certain contexts. While this power usually focuses on the manipulation of molecules, it can sometimes affect atoms or even subatomic particles in more advanced forms.
Possible Applications
- Telefrag: The user can disrupt molecular structure through teleportation mishaps, causing objects or people to occupy the same space, and resulting in violent molecular destruction.
- Physical Disruption: Users can cause objects or beings to break apart at the molecular level, causing disintegration, fragmentation, or explosive breakdown.
- Molecular Dissolution: The ability to completely dissolve or disassemble an object or being at the molecular level.
- Molecular Warp: Users can distort the molecular structure of an object, causing it to warp in shape or form, often making it unstable or unusable.
- Disintegration: The user can deconstruct matter at the molecular level, causing objects or beings to completely break down and dissolve into nothing.
- Molecular Restoration: Advanced users may be able to reverse the damage caused by molecular distortion by reassembling the disrupted molecules.
- Density Alteration: By altering molecular structure, users may change the density of objects or beings, making them more dense or less dense as needed.
Types
- Basic Distortion: Simple manipulation of molecules to cause slight warping or damage to objects or beings.
- Complete Molecular Breakdown: The ability to break down matter at the molecular level completely, disintegrating it into its base particles.
- Subatomic Distortion: More advanced forms of the ability that affect not just molecules but the atoms and subatomic particles that compose them, leading to extreme and powerful results.
- Selective Distortion: The user can target specific molecular structures, allowing them to disrupt only certain aspects of an object or being, while leaving the rest intact.
Limitations
- Range: The user’s range of influence might be limited, requiring physical contact or close proximity to affect molecules.
- Control: Inexperienced users may have difficulty controlling the extent of molecular distortion, resulting in unintended destruction or failure to manipulate matter precisely.
- Complex Structures: More complex molecular structures, such as living beings or intricate machinery, may be more difficult to distort without causing widespread damage or chaos.
- Energy Requirements: Advanced forms of molecular distortion, especially those that affect subatomic particles, may require significant energy or strain, limiting how often the ability can be used.
- Resistance: Some materials or beings may have resistance to molecular distortion, either through natural properties or abilities that reinforce their molecular bonds.
Users
- Tetsuo Shima (Akira): Tetsuo’s telekinetic abilities include the ability to destroy or distort matter at a fundamental level, warping and destabilizing molecular structures.
