Trump Power

Telekinesis or TK:

• The movement of objects by scientifically inexplicable means, as by the exercise of an occult power.
• The production of motion in objects (as by a spiritualistic medium) without contact or other physical means
• The power to move something by thinking about it without the application of physical force
• The direct influence of mind on a physical system that cannot be entirely accounted for by the mediation of any known physical energy.

Basically, the ability to move things with your mind. The extent of this power varies greatly from story to story. My favorite measure of the strength of the power has to be the interpretation from the Wild Cards series. The "Ace" I'm referring to is The Great and Powerful Turtle. In the books, his TK is only limited by his confidence in himself. So theoretically he could move buildings and fling them into space if he was in the right frame of mind. It seems to me that if your confidence is the way you measure your TK strength...then the best way to insure you can always use it strongly would be to work out your TK. Like you would with your body, lift things of increasing weight and size. If you were to do this consistently, you would always know that you can lift up to a certain weight, unless your mind were supernaturally or chemically altered.

But why do I consider this the "Trump Power"? Well, mainly because it can mimic most of the major powers people think of; flight, super strength, super speed, super jumping, force fields, etc... Not to mention that proper application can render the TK being almost invulnerable to harm. This isn't to say that they can't cut themselves while performing everyday functions, but that basically no one else could cause harm to this super powered person while they are conscious. By studying up on locking mechanisms and security systems they could easily by-pass them to steal objects or information, or to ambush a "bad guy". TK could even conceivably be used to block another's abilities, assuming they have a physical component, by imagining a wall to block or a slide to redirect another's power. The possibilities are nearly endless, and the more a person were to exercise their power, the more they would know they are capable of doing and thus the less likely they would falter.
