Telekinesis

Telekinesis is the ability to influence/control/manipulate matter or another aspect of a physical system with the ‘mind’ or through other non-physical means.

Overview[]

Commonly, the most basic and fundamental trait is to move or otherwise interact with objects (or alternatively, to generate and apply physical force on a target) both from a distance and without physical contact. As the ability is connected to the mind of the user, it can either be activated and controlled through conscious effort and concentration, through willpower and emotions of a particular level of intensity, through achieving a state of discipline and serenity, or simply through the whim and desire of the user. Moreover, these aspects of the user's mind and mental capacity at large can affect the capabilities and efficacy of their power, as well as its limitations. Telekinesis is one of the bases of many superpowers that are based on "controlling/manipulating," and may evolve to the point that a Telekinetic can control anything at a subatomic, particle, and universal level.

Applications of Telekinesis[]

Flight[]

Viktor used his telekinesis to fly on multiple occasions, usually in conjunction with another power.

Sono-Telekinesis[]

Viktor, having the ability to manipulate sound, can use sound to move objects.

Known Users[]

Viktor Hargreeves[]

Through manipulating sound waves, Viktor can move and control objects, as well as generate force, with his mind. Offensively, he is able to immobilize, restrain, constrict and repel others with his energy. As a child, an irritated Viktor would cause several nannies to be sent flying across the room or, out of a window or down a staircase. When confronting Leonard, he projected and manipulated the sound waves around him, levitating him above the ground, holding him in a crushing grip and proceeding to telekinetically move various objects in the kitchen to impale him. As Pogo confirmed that he knew of his power and allowed his memory of it being erased, he proceeded to raise him into the air and hurl him across the Umbrella Academy living room and into the antlers of a mounted deer head. After his mind wipe due to time traveling back to 1963, he managed to empty an entire pond by causing the water to rise into the air, to the point where he managed to keep it suspended there while not actively focused on it, giving him more than enough time to carry Harlan from the pond and onto dry land before the water fell back down. When angered by an FBI interrogator in 1963, his powers activated and began to nearly choke him.^{[citation needed]}

Harlan Cooper[]

After having Viktor remove his powers from him, Harlan is shown to retain telekinetic abilities, effortlessly spinning a toy above his hand. This appeared to be connected to his former ability of absorbing and manipulating sound, due to the same resonating sound produced from both powers.
