You Can't Stop the Signal; Radio Manipulation

   Adapted from Radio 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.

Radio Manipulation

The power to manipulate radio waves and frequencies. Sub-power of EM Spectrum Manipulation. Variation of Radiation Manipulation.

Also Called

Radio Control

Radio Distortion

Radio Frequency Manipulation/Control

Radio Wave Manipulation/Control

Radiófonokinesis

Capabilities

Users can manipulate radio waves and frequencies as well as things that use radio waves, such as AM and FM waves, TV radio waves/frequencies as well as waves/frequencies from cell phones, AM or FM radio, radar, and so on. With this power, one can make a television show something else (Like making the Newscaster look like someone else) or change the sounds coming from a radio to something different.

Applications

Radio Frequency Detection

The ability to sense and patch into radio/transmission frequencies.

Limitations

The power may be limited in terms of range for the user, so the user may only be able to affect local waves.

Electromagnetic noise and electromagnetic pulses may affect the user's power in a negative way.
