*If she can only generate a field around herself it will be "Forcefield Generation", but obviously she can use these fields as gloves and moves them around. So why don't we use the name "Forcefield Manipulation", as she can clearly manipulates them as well? --[[User:Hellknight|Hellknight]] 14:26, 28 October 2008 (EDT) |

Name
Since she creates forcefields, wouldn't "forcefield creation" be a more appropriate name? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:46, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- Or perhaps "forcefield generation"? Intuitive Empath 11:14, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- That would work, too. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:16, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- Despite not becoming invisible, this is basically Sue Storm's power. Intuitive Empath 11:35, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- That would work, too. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:16, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- I favor "forcefield generation"...it's more specific than "forcefield creation", but both are okay. I'd rather not keep "forcefield manipulation", but if we can't agree I prefer it over "Abagail's ability".--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:50, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- I'd go for Forcefield Creation or Forcefield Generation We're over-rated with "manipulation" here.NiveKJ13 13:38, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- Agreed. I'd go for Forcefield Generation too. SkyBrookes! 13:59, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- If this is really like Sue Storm from Fantasic Four's ability, Then it should be "Force Field Projection". As its written in the wiki page of Sue Storm - Sue Storm Wikipedia (its on the box description written.)

- If she can only generate a field around herself it will be "Forcefield Generation", but obviously she can use these fields as gloves and moves them around. So why don't we use the name "Forcefield Manipulation", as she can clearly manipulates them as well? --Hellknight 14:26, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- The name seems good but you shouldn't really refer to the Marvel or DC Universe to validate certain abilities as it is totally wrong. Each of the Universe' differ dramatically. However, the name should be called Forcefield Manipulation as Abigail manipulates it to deliver a punch rather than a projection. --ACDC1989 13:10, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
Common name
Ok, so common name should probably trump the descriptions we're thinking of...so DC Comics refers to it as "deflection", and Marvel Comics calls it "forcefield projection" (here and here). I'm okay with either, but the power name source should be updated to note we are using common name.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:22, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
- That's fine, I'll take care of that. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:41, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
