User:Ricard Desi/Ability Classification

Trying to map out likely abilities using some predetermined facets of powers the show's given us. Definitely a work-in-progress (and ugly tables).

Any abilities labeled "(user's name)'s ability" will be given a name for easier classification. I am not suggesting those should necessarily be their names, but it makes it way easier to try and place somewhere if the name helps imply boundaries.

Classification in process:

Physical abilities

• Adoptive muscle memory
• Appearance alteration
• Body insertion
• Cloning
• Constriction
• Crumpling
• Elasticity
• Enhanced hearing
• Enhanced strength

Mental abilities

• Accelerated probability (focus will be the perception, not the physical super speed)
• Acid secretion
• Alchemy
• Alejandro's ability (Poison absorption)
• Bliss and horror
• Chlorine gas exudation
• Clairsentience
• Clairvoyance
• Dehydration
• Disintegration touch
• Dream manipulation
• Edward's ability (Accelerated probability)
• Electric manipulation
• Electrical absorption
• Electronic communication
• Enhanced memory

Special abilities

• Ability supercharging
• Aura absorption
• David's ability (Predator mutation)
• Empathic mimicry

• Flight
• Forcefield projection
• Freezing
• Future terrorist's ability (Microwave emission)
• Gravitational manipulation
• Healing
• Illusion
• Impenetrable skin
• Induced radioactivity
• Intuitive aptitude
• Invisibility
• Laser emission
• Levitation
• Lie detection
• Luminescence
• Lung adaptation
• Magnetism
• Mediumship
• Melting
• Mental manipulation
• Metal mimicry
• Mohinder's ability (Insect mutation)
• Nerve gas emission
• Neurocognitive deficit
• Omnilingualism
• Persuasion
• Phasing
• Plant growth
• Plant manipulation
• Poison emission
• Power absorption
• Precognition
• Precognitive dreaming
• Primal rage
• Puppet master
• Pyrokinesis
• Rapid cell regeneration
• Sound absorption
• Sound manipulation
• Space-time manipulation (will be split into time manipulation, time travel, and teleportation)
• Super speed
• Technopathy
• Telekinesis
• Telepathy
• Teleportation
• Telescopic vision
• Trevor's ability (Shattering)
• Water mimicry
