Power/Ability to:	Have complete control of one's own body.

"Our purpose here is simple. To strengthen what is weak. Make hard what is soft. This will take time. Mind must be master of the body. Strong mind can separate the body from its suffering. When mind is master of the body, you will be warrior once more."

― Ting Wang (Johnny English Reborn)

"Physical strength of body, when combined with mental force of mind, one can destroy mountains. Alone however, the body would shatters like a rock breaking a brittle twig."

― Chikara Shisho (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

"Connection, mind, body."

― Stick (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

"How often do you think I work out?"

"I don't know, a lot?"

"The answer is never, not a day in my life. I willed my body to look like this, that's how powerful I am."

― Dean of CIA Academy and Stan Smith (American Dad)
