Acceleration manipulation is the ability to accelerate and decelerate objects and people.
Aspects
Offense
Harvey Jeffries has showed several offensive techniques, both in accelerating mundane objects (like forks) to incredible speeds and by turning opponents weapons on themselves. He tends to use ball berings as his main weapons, although anything is a weapon to him.
Harvey has trouble accelerating large objects, like cars, newsstands, and anything "attached" to the ground or something else (roofs, benches, other such objects). It occasionally happens that such objects cannot be accelerated or decelerated.
Defense
Harvey Jeffries also uses this ability to slow down bullets, tasers, and all other objects heading towards him. He stops deadly weapons in midair. This ability is active, so he cannot stop things he doesn't know about, but he tries to be aware of the entire situation at all times.
Harvey has also been known to create a "deceleration dome", in which he decelerates everything thrown at him. This takes an immense amount of concentration and, therefore, is usually done to provide a "meat shield" for partners. As Harvey has worked alone, mostly, and because the dome stops his allies weapons as well as his enemies, he has rarely used this aspect.
Travel
Harvey Jeffries has used this ability to travel, even between different continents. By accelerating upwards in a way that cancels out or is greater than his downward acceleration, Harvey can rise into the air. He can also accelerate his body around the world, allowing him to, essentially, fly.
He does, however, have limits on this aspect of his ability. He cannot go too fast, or the high speed will cause him to either pass out, fall, and probably die, or to have the clothes and, eventually, flesh ripped from his face and body.
When Harvey Jeffries flies, he tends to hold his arms out behind him, with the palms facing back. If he needs to go up or down, he points his hand opposite of the way he needs to go. This is not necessary, however, but is his preferred method of travel. He could fly in the fetal position, but it isn't very dignified.
Limitations
Harvey is only able to use this power within a 10 foot globe, so he must be close to a person to use this power.
