The Essence of Power; Matter Manipulation

 Adapted from Matter Manipulation- Superpower Wiki


Lately, I have been exploring various realms of genre fiction and wondering if there was a way to crash them together in a tabletop experience. This means figuring out a way to balance unrelated effects against each other. I love Mutants and Masterminds for its ability do describe almost any character ability you can think of, so I am experimenting with M&M’s tools to work on ways to fold multiple genres together.

Matter Manipulation

The power to manipulate matter. Sub-power of Physics Manipulation. Technique of Energy Manipulation.

Capabilities

The user can manipulate matter: a substance or entity that possesses mass that takes up space and fills up the universe's volume. Matter is one of the most common substances that describes the universe, including its variations and oppositions. From the orders of magnitude, matter can range from subatomic particles to astronomical scales, such as the observable universe. More specifically, elementary particles, atoms, molecules, cells, microorganisms, everyday objects, animals, buildings, cities, mountains, continents, planets, planetary systems, and galaxies are composed or contain fragments of matter that define it. Matter can exist in different states, generally through solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and other matter states. Because the user can control matter, the user can manipulate nearly "anything" in the universe.

The user can manipulate matter to transform and revamp the composition of an object from solid, to liquid, to gas, change its size from microscopic to building-sized, or disfigure and reassemble an object's matter into another form. The user can warp matter of nothing in their surroundings (buildings, houses, parks, cities, or massive areas) into another landscape, such as turning a New York sized city into a volcanic field of blazing magma and dead trees with fire as leaves. The user can create and destroy matter; something matter does not usually experience; the user can create abstract forms of matter that violates the laws of physics or erase it from existence. On an astronomical scale, the user can manipulate planets, to the universe, controlling everything that contains them, turning the user into a cosmic entity of great power.

In rare cases, the user can bend matter to affect reality by its interconnectivity, contorting the physical plane to change layers of totality.
