my two cents...

just merge it with Trevor's ability, and call it shattering. at the very least we should ask BTE if the two abilities are the same, or even similar. --Piemanmoo`

• We can't call Trevor's ability shattering because no concensus was reached and Tom can't have Trevor's ability. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 05:07, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Name

• I think Molecular destabilisation would be a good name because it seems that the ornament has been destablised, not shattered. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 05:07, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

• I'd call it Resonant Molecular Destabilization because the ornament vibrated quickly before destabilizing, which could be because of a high-pitched sound that human's cannot hear, and it reaches the resonant pitch where the molecules just fall apart. --Madheroesfan 06:25, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
  • It could be due to high-pitched sound, but that is speculative. I think this would be a great place to test out Consensus check 2.0. Remember to only enter your name and a reason under the power name that you oppose. --Radicell 06:36, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Merge with Trevor's ability

• Sound effects and other cues distinguish it from Trevor's ability; I highly doubt it's the same ability. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 07:36, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Opposed, Tom cannot have Trevor's ability. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 07:52, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Too speculative. -- Altes 08:57, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Not the same --Action Figure 11:51, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Molecular destabilization

• Incredibly speculative. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 07:36, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• The ornament just broke into pieces, not into molecules. -- Altes 08:57, 21 *Too speculative. --Piemanmoo 10:25, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• --Action Figure 11:51, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Resonant molecular destabilization

• Incredibly speculative. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 07:36, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• The same as above. -- Altes 08:57, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Too long and speculative. --Piemanmoo 10:25, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• --Action Figure 11:51, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Shattering

• I say it fits better for Trevor's ability. -- Altes 08:57, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

This isn't what happened. --Action Figure 11:51, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Disintegration

• Neither the angel nor the glasses were disintegrated.--Laudo 08:56, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Agreed. --Cro Magnon 09:50, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Matter obliteration

• The matter in question wasn't obliterated completely... it was fragmented. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 07:36, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Opposed, same reason as Thrashmeister. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 07:52, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• The same. -- Altes 08:57, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Ditto. --Cro Magnon 09:50, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Obliteration would mean it nearly ceases to exist, all this did was make it crumble into pieces.--Piemanmoo 10:25, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
• Ditto --Action Figure 11:51, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Telekinetic Disintegration

• Incredibly speculative. -Sincerely, Thrashmeister » talk- 12:24, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

Gesture

When Tom uses this ability, does he makes the same hand gesture as Trevor? NuparuMahnika

• Nope, Trevor held his hand like a gun. Why, I have a name - Gun mimicry!))) -- Altes 08:49, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Linderman never kissed people when healing them, but Ishi did. Gestures seem to be more of a personal preference rather than a required aspect. --Piemanmoo 10:25, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
    • Well, apart from kiss, there were no other effects. I always expected that healing should be going with some sort of light, but it never did. -- Altes 11:08, 21 April 2009 (EDT)
