Ionic Manipulation

The power to manipulate ions. Sub-power of Charged Particles Manipulation, advanced form and the root power of Plasma Manipulation. Variation of Subatomic Manipulation and Energy Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Iogenesis
 * Iokinesis
 * Ion Control/Manipulation

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate Ions, atoms in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom a net positive or negative electrical charge. Ions can be created by both chemical and physical means. In chemical terms, if a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, it has a net positive charge and is known as a cation. If an atom gains electrons, it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion.

Ions in their gas-like state are highly reactive, and do not occur in large amounts on Earth, except in flames, lightning, electrical sparks, and other plasmas. These gas-like ions rapidly interact with ions of opposite charge to give neutral molecules or ionic salts. Ions are also produced in the liquid or solid state when salts interact with solvents (for example, water) to produce "solvated ions," which are more stable, for reasons involving a combination of energy and entropy changes as the ions move away from each other to interact with the liquid. These stabilized species are more commonly found in the environment at low temperatures. A common example is the ions present in seawater, which are derived from the dissolved salts.

Applications

 * Create/generate/increase, absorb, shape and manipulate ions, including fire, electricity, and plasma
 * Density Manipulation/Solidification via controlling ions.
 * Ionikinetic Constructs, including weapons, walls, armor or allies/servants.
 * Ion Attacks
 * Electromagnetic Manipulation, by altering the charges of atoms they can create electromagnetic fields.
 * Move/lift ions at nearly any speed whether in/on a surface, air or water. One could even do this in a vacuum of space if one has a way to survive the experience.
 * Elemental Flight using ions.
 * Matter Surfing using ions.

Techniques

 * Ion Aura
 * Ionic Mimicry
 * Ionikinetic Combat

Associations

 * Electron Manipulation

Known Users

 * Wonder Man (Marvel Comics)
 * Atlas (Marvel Comics)
 * Count Nefaria (Marvel Comics)
 * Cole MacGrath (Infamous); via Ionic Charges

Limitations

 * May be unable to create ions, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
 * Distance and the amount of matter depends of the strength and skill of the user.
 * May be limited to creating either anions or cations.
