Inertia Manipulation

Inertia Manipulation
Inertia (Marvel) is able to alter the inertia of the environment around her
Power/Ability To:	Manipulate inertia

Power to manipulate matter resistance to a change in motion or rest. Sub power of Kinetic Energy Manipulation and Friction Manipulation.

Also Called

• Inertia Control

Capabilities

The user can manipulate the amount of resistance matter has to a change in motion or rest. Users of this ability could raise an object’s inertia, to make an immobile object immovable, or to make a mobile object unstoppable. The user could also reduce an object’s inertia, so a normally powerful object, such as a train, could have its course of motion interrupted with the same effort as would stop a bicycle.

Applications

• Increasing / Decreasing / Maintaining Inertia :
  • Absolute Constant Velocity
  • Immobility
  • Inertia Absorption
  • Mobile Invulnerability

Associations

• Flow Manipulation
• Flowmotion
• Vector Manipulation

Techniques

• "Inertia Shifting": The ability to only manipulate one's own inertia.

Limitations

• Some users can only manipulate their own inertia
• Some users can only manipulate inertia one way or the other (to resist motion, or resist rest)
• If the user has no control over the ability, the following can happen:
  • User may cause the opposite inertial change than desired (increasing or decreasing inertia, when one intends to do the opposite)
  • Inertia may change too much (which can damage the object whose inertia is being altered)
• Users may have more difficulty manipulating the inertia of larger objects

Known Users

• Edith Freiberg (aka Inertia, Marvel)
• Geraldine Rumlow (aka Vice Versa, Marvel)
• Kevin Albers (aka Catapult, Marvel)
• Rudolph Jones (DC)
• Savitar (DC)

Totally the WRONG kind of inertia.
