Changes: Concrete Manipulation

Latest revision as of 15:24, 7 October 2023

"I command concrete. And masonry. And pavement. I don't use the ability very often, though. The massive level of inherent property damage is a bit of a problem. The animation effect tends to linger for a while, too. And civilians don't like their office buildings and highway overpasses acting frisky and playful"

― Syndablokk, Empowered

The power to manipulate concrete. Sub-power of Urban Manipulation. Variation of Earth Manipulation, Artificial Element Manipulation, and Building Mixture Manipulation.

Also Called

Betókinesis
Cement Control/Manipulation
Concrete Control
Flux Coat

Capabilities

The user can create/generate, shape and manipulate concrete, a composite material composed of coarse granular material (the aggregate or filler) embedded in a hard matrix of material (the cement or binder) that fills the space among the aggregate particles and glues them together.

Applications

Burrowing with choice between simply gliding through concrete or leaving a tunnel.
Concrete Attacks
Concrete Constructs
Concrete Detection
Concrete Generation
Manipulate the properties of concrete.
- Repair objects of concrete.
Move/lift concrete.
- Concrete Flight
- Matter Surfing by riding a boulder or other mass of concrete.

Techniques

Associations

Architecture Manipulation all concrete structures.
Artificial Element Manipulation
Building Mixture Manipulation
Asphalt Manipulation
Earth Manipulation
Urban Manipulation

Limitations

May be unable to create concrete, 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.
Concrete has relatively low tensile strength.
