Held by:	Bob Bishop
Ability to:	Transform the chemical composition of materials

Alchemy is the ability to transform the chemical composition of materials.

Characters

• Bob Bishop is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Bob has the ability to change the composition of objects. So far, he has shown that he can change an ordinary spoon into a gold spoon. As yet, he has only used this power on small objects he is holding. The amount of mass he can affect at one time is unknown.

It is not yet known if there are materials Bob cannot transform, if any.

Since Bob's power does not automatically affect anything he touches, it must require some concentration to use.

Bob can apparently generate substantial quantities of gold over time, because he implies that his power is a significant source of the Company's funding. (Four Months Later)

Examples

• 
  Bob takes hold of an ordinary teaspoon...
• 
  ...and transmutes it into gold.
  (Four Months Later).

Notes

• The name "alchemy" comes from Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite, who used the term to decribe Bob's power in a CBR Q&A interview.
• Though Bob has only been seen to turn an ordinary spoon into gold, Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite confirmed that he can transmute materials into substances other than gold.
