that superboy thread a few days back and the mild annoyance someone had over his tactical telekinesis got me thinking, does it really matter? aren't most powers that let you control fundamental forces and energy controlled with ones mind anyway? like magneto and graviton are telling the forces they control what to do with their minds, storm is causing hurricanes with her mind, she's not flapping her arms at super speed. So what's the big deal if you can lift heavy rock with your mind, vs telling the gravitons, atoms, energy in your body to help you lift heavy rock with your thoughts?Also post your favorite telekinetic but do not post Vance Astrovik. He is no ones favorite.
>>154608481Agreed. The whole point of speculative fiction imo is to have enough internal logic to be engaging but enough fantasy to be entertaining.Too much to either side and you just get empty crap.>Also post your favorite telekineticYou just did.
>>154608481>Also post your favorite telekineticWhatshisname from Chronicle or Sylar from Heroes
>>154608481>post your favorite telekineticI've got a fondness for Hellion. Shame he has the X-kid curse of losing relevance once a newer batch arrives, but his recent appearances could have been much worse, so I'm thankful for that!
>>154608481Is this what the kids call aura farming?
>>154609505yes. but I think this issue ends with him stuck in a cow so he loses a bit of it.
I guess depends if kon counts, if not then rachel summers.>>154609495He's fun too. And yeah its amazing how the moment white left he started being treated better lol
>>154609495Those are some nicely drawn rocks
>>154609495Hellion got the shit end of the stick for a few years but it's good he's still sorta there and kinda OK now. Out of all the new x kids he was in my top 3.
>>154611816Who else is in your top 3?
>>154608481>Also post your favorite telekinetic but do not post Vance Astrovik. He is no ones favoriteYou are a nigger with no taste, Vance is badass
>>154612576>No more death raysNot even the ones made for peaceful purposes only?
>>154612587is that a Venture bros reference
>>154608481Isn't tactile telekinesis just supposed to explain how super strength can lift big shit without snapping them in half?
>>154613998No. It’s a unique power that only Superboy has. It was explained as he isn’t a Kryptonian, he’s a human who they experimented on to give him telekinesis that can mimic Superman’s powers.Later reboots retconned him as Kryptonian, but Luthor gave him a TK human’s gene to give him Bonus telekinesis.
>>154612524Rockslide was number 2 and pixie number 3
>>154608481>favorite telekineticgotta think about that one
>>154614144>No. It’s a unique power that only Superboy has.No, it's literally how SuperMAN's "superstrength" was retconned to work by John Byrne and >>154613998 is exactly right.Only thing that's different about Conner Kent Superboy is that he has to consciously focus to use it because he isn't a real kryptonian. Born kryptonians like Kal-el, Kara etc. use the same exact ability but they use it unconsciously and it's always on.
>>154608481>So what's the big deal if you can lift heavy rock with your mind, vs telling the gravitons, atoms, energy in your body to help you lift heavy rock with your thoughts?See >>154613998The telekinesis shit is purely there to explain why things that Superman pushes or lifts don't instantly destroy themselves under their own weight.
