The power to manipulate colloids. Variation of Matter Manipulation. Related to Solution Manipulation and Suspension Manipulation.

Also Called[]

  • Colloid Control
  • Colloidal Material Control/Manipulation

Capabilities[]

The user can create, shape and manipulate colloids, special material mixtures involving microscopic particles interspersed within a solid, liquid or gas. Solutions are homogeneous (evenly distributed) mixtures where the solute (dissolved material) is mixed in with a solvent (dissolving material). The solution tends to possess the same state of matter the solvent has if it has a higher concentration. Suspensions are heterogeneous (unevenly distributed) mixtures where solute particles do not dissolve and tend to remain suspended throughout the solvent. Given enough time, the particles could settle. Colloids occupy a unique place amongst these substances in that they are homogeneous, yet the smaller particles do not dissolve away. As they are not chemically combined, they can be physically separated.

Colloids can be made from various types of solid, liquid and gas mixtures. These include foams (gases trapped in liquids or solids), aerosols (fine solid or liquid particulates trapped in a gas), emulsions (two normally immiscible liquids that combine), liquid crystals (a state of matter that has properties of solids and crystals), gels (a type of semi-solid in which liquid mediums are viscous enough to act similar to solids) and sols (solid particles in a continuously liquid medium). The only type that does not exist is the gas-gas mixture as it already operates in an evenly dispersed nature at the molecular level; in this state, it is a solution.

Users with this power can manifest and/or manipulate various types of colloids with different properties. They can tailor the mixtures’ aspects to fit whatever need they may have for whatever situation is at hand.

Limitations[]

  • Compound Fission/Disassembly/Matter Manipulation
  • May only be able to create and/or control certain type of colloids (aerosols, foams, emulsions, etc.).
  • May be unable to create colloids, 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.
  • Colloids may possess specific vulnerabilities based on their inherent natures.
  • May only be able to create certain amount of colloids.
