The physical power in one can fasten unto and climb vertical and horizontal surfaces without falling.

Also Called

  • Adhesive Climbing

Capability

The user can climb walls and stay unto ceilings. The user does not deny gravity, but has mutative "tarsi" or microscopic hooks on their volar (palm of hand) and plantar (sole of foot) skin allowing them latch unto structures (like an insect). Some users can disperse energy from their body into the surface allowing them to walk, run, or crawl on the walls. However in order to truly be "crawling" on the user must be able to maintain balance for long periods of time, compared to wallrunning where the energy is only temporary. Beings with super human strength or super strong and dense claws could simply dig their fingers or into a surface, then propelling upward and digging in again, generating the effect of wall crawling. Those with Reptilian Mimicry could have microscopic satae on their hands and feet like a gecko, or a suction pads like a frog, working in a similar way to Spiderman's wall crawling.

Universe Differences

In some cases, shoes, socks, and gloves disable the use of the power. In other cases the amount of energy trasmitted into the surface is a limit. If the energy were to stop being transmitted into the surface the user could fall.
