An Esper (エスパー, Esupā) is an individual capable of telepathy and other similar paranormal abilities.
Overview
Espers are individuals of various races that naturally awaken, possess and can harness psychic powers (超能力, Chō Nōryoku, lit. Supernatural Power). Espers are quite rare, but once awakened can become quite powerful in their own right.
Geryuganshoop claims to be the strongest psychic combatant in the universe, however this has never been confirmed, and at the moment, Tatsumaki is shown to be the most powerful Esper in the entire series.
Known Psychic Powers
Psychokinesis: The ability to levitate and hurl matter using the mind. Possessed by Tatsumaki, Fubuki, Geryuganshoop and Psykos.
Telepathy (テレパシー, Terepashī): The ability to communicate through the mind. Possessed by Slugerous and Geryuganshoop.
Clairvoyance: The ability to see into the future. Possessed by Psykos.
Weaknesses
Brain damage or head injury: According to Psykos, espers cannot use their power temporarily if they suffer a head injury or brain damage. This is shown when Tatsumaki cannot use her power when she suffers a concussion after Psykos sneak-attacks her from behind.
High Speed Enemies: Esper power can only work if the esper can detect the enemy's movement. If the enemy is too fast, he/she cannot attack accurately.
