Physics Infringement

Physics Infringement
Mario's (Super Mario series) signature move, the ground pound, defies several laws of physics, most notably gravity.
Power/Ability to:	alter the way physics applies to you.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

― George Bernard Shaw

The ability to alter the way physics applies to you.

Also Called

• Physics Alteration

Capabilities

The user of this ability is capable of violating the natural laws of physics and using the forces for their advantage. This is Cartoon Physics applied to all media to rearrange the reality of that verse maintaining a sense of realism in relation to our world. This, in effect, loosens physical limitations and/or exaggerates capabilities without accounting for the effects of the power with real world physics that allows characters to be able to do acts of heroism and villainy that would be much more difficult or impossible in our reality.

Limitations

• Users can only violate the laws of physics to a certain extent and cannot rearrange physics on a cosmic scale for their benefit.
• Most users can only break physics in specific ways, e.g. Raiden can channel electricity through insulated objects.
• The user cannot directly manipulate physics, they can only manipulate how it affects them.
• May have a limit to how long they can use this power.

The Umbra Witches (Bayonetta) are humans who - through magical and spiritual means - are capable of feats impossible for any other human, including super strength, speed, stamina, et cetera.

Kakine Teitoku (A Certain Magical Index) can warp physics to his bidding, allowing him to overcome a majority of issues with his Dark Matter.

Because he cares nothing for the logic of this world, Lord Shyamalan (Channel Awesome) is able to fight against Katera's bloodbending by blatantly ignoring it.

Superman (DC Comics) can pull off such feats as lifting the living embodiment of Eternity...

...and holding a miniature black hole in his fist.

Black Dynamite (Black Dynamite TV series)

Brock Samson (The Venture Bros) is capable to enduring a ridiculous amount of physical harm and yet still come out on top without even noticing.

Superman and JLA (DC Comics) move the moon from its original orbit during a mission.
