The Essence of Power; Thermal Manipulation

 Adapted from Thermal 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.

Thermal Manipulation

The power to manipulate temperatures. Variation of Energy Manipulation.

Also Called

Temperature Control/Manipulation

Thermal Control

Thermal Energy Manipulation

Thermodynamics Manipulation

Thermokinesis

Capabilities

User can create, shape and manipulate temperature, a form of kinetic energy between particles at the atomic or molecular level: the greater the movement of these particles, the greater the thermal energy and reversed. Heat itself is internal thermal energy that flows from one body of matter to another, it is not the same as the energy contained in a system—that is, the internal thermal energy of the system. Rather than being "energy-in-residence," heat is "energy-in-transit."

Applications

Thermoreception

The power to perceive thermal signatures.

Limitation

Users of Temperature Immunity cannot be affected and users of Thermal Resistance can withstand.

May be unable to create temperature, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.

Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.

May not be able to change too extreme temperatures.
