Lateral Repulsion

The ability to cause surfaces you touch to repel objects similar to a magnet.

Capability
A person with this power can cause anything they touch to become charged to repel anything from it like a magnet. The effect can be undone by touching it again. Like lateral magnetizer, heat has no effect on the repulsion. You can fly with this power by charging your hands to push the ground/air or alternatively use this to blast away people. Newton's 3rd law applies when using this power so you need to be careful to prevent backlash. You can selectively change the amount of repulsion possible.

Limitations

 * Brute strength can break through repulsion.
 * Very hard to undo your own effects except for the ones on your own body.

Applications

 * Blast things away by charging both hands then counterbalancing.
 * Touch an object to protect it from ever coming in to human contact again.
 * You can selectively use this power on only your hands to fly by pushing the ground.
