The ability to manipulate tachyon particles. Sub-power of Particle Manipulation. Variation of Energy Manipulation.
Also Called[]
- Tachyonkinesis
Capabilities[]
The user can create, shape and manipulate tachyons, a hypothetical particle that always moves faster than light. Just as an ordinary particle such as an electron can exist only at speeds less than that of light, a tachyon can exist only at speeds greater than that of light. At such speeds, its mass would be real and positive, on losing energy, a tachyon accelerates; the faster it travels, the less energy it has.
Applications[]
- Cultivation
- FTL Transmission Manipulation
- FTL Travel Manipulation
- Limited Space-Time Distortion
- Quantum Energy Induced Mutation
- Reality Warping Induced Mutation
- Spatial Power Induced Mutation
- Tachyon Attacks
- Tachyon Constructs
- Tachyon Defiance
- Temporal Phenomena Induced Mutation
- Warping Speed

See Also: Tachyons in fiction.
Limitations[]
- May be unable to create tachyons, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
- May be limited to amount of energy a person can hold in themselves.
- Extensive use of powers over a long period of time could deplete one's energy reserves.
- The high speed particles can be a problem to control.

Gallery[]
Toyman (Justice League) created an Energized Tachyon Stream that can send victims into the future, which he believed to be a disintegration beam due to not understanding his own creation.
Glorian (Marvel Comics) can tap and manipulate tachyons and can create hyperspatial "rainbow bridges" which can transport himself, or others if he is present, at trans-light speeds.
The Silver Samurai (Marvel Comics) generating a tachyon field, which he usually channels through his sword to increase its cutting power to the point of cutting through virtually anything.
Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon (Yu-Gi-Oh!) lives up to its name, capable of traveling backwards in time to reset situations to its advantage.
By activating the slap switch, the Hyper Zecter (Kamen Rider Kabuto) compresses twice the amount of tachyon particles compared to Clock Up and spreads them across the user's entire body. This allows them to travel faster than the speed of light and enables time travel.
Kamen Rider Kabuto (Kamen Rider Kabuto) "accelerates his own time flow" by compressing the tachyon particles that are circulating around him via the Clock Up ability.
