Friction Negation

The ability to negate friction. Sub-Power of Friction Manipulation. Variation of Negation. Opposite to Friction Generation.

Also Called[]

Frictional Force Negation
Frictional Negation
Frictionless Negation

Capabilities[]

The user can negate friction for themselves and/or others (including objects/beings/surfaces), the force that resists motion (unlike inertia, which is not a force and resists change in motion, friction does not resist the change, just motion by itself), which allows them to run on, hold onto, or move on any surface, regardless of how slippery or even rough and movement dampening/sticky the friction is. This allows them to run on surfaces like ice without falling down, and move at high speed, even when running on surfaces of high friction that would otherwise slow them down.

Applications[]

Pincer Grip on any surface
Wallcrawling on any surface
Grab and hold those with Frictionless Skin
Ignore the heat on the ground from friction
Slipperiness Inducement

Associations[]

Limitations[]

Cannot ignore other forces such as gravity and inertia, only the friction.
Can still have trouble working with others who don't have this power.
