Psychokinesis, or Telekinesis, is a supernatural ability that allows the user to manipulate physical matter with the mind. Users of psychokinesis are commonly referred to as psychics or Espers.

Overview

The specific abilities associated with psychokinesis vary.

Although espers are rare, the majority of them are powerful and capable of performing remarkable feats. Some enhance their psychic output through technology, as seen with Gearsper, a relatively weak C-Class hero.

Regular people can also be taught to use psychokinesis to a lesser extent.

Techniques

• Telekinesis: The standard psychokinetic ability, allowing one to move matter with the mind. It is used to throw objects and manipulate wind. The speed at which matter is propelled is typically limited by air friction, although this can be overcome by eliminating friction entirely. So far, only Geryuganshoop has achieved this. Psychics can also use this technique to achieve flight. Espers can also compress objects until they vanish from sight, as demonstrated by Tatsumaki after defeating Evil Eye.
• Psychic Restraint: This ability allows espers to pin down a target and restrict their movement. It was first demonstrated by Gyoro Gyoro to immobilize Garou.
• Gravitational Wave: An ability where an esper concentrates their psychic energy on a single point to increase gravity around a target, crushing their body. First seen used by Geryuganshoop (in the anime), and later by Gyoro Gyoro, who increased gravity x300 around Tatsumaki with no effect on her.
• Telepathy: A psychic ability that enables mental communication. It was first used by Slugerous, and later by both Geryuganshoop and Gyoro Gyoro.
• Psychic Barriers: A variation of psychokinesis that allows the user to form protective, and potentially invisible, barriers. These can defend against external attacks and may even be maintained subconsciously, as seen with Tatsumaki. However, it is unclear whether all espers can do this or if it requires advanced training.
• Physical Enhancement: This involves temporarily enhancing another person's physical traits. It increases speed and eliminates pain or strain. Only Fubuki has demonstrated this.
• Organic Restoration: A healing technique using psychokinesis to repair organic material. Fubuki showcased this by healing the organic components of Genos' overheating body. She also drew upon Bomb's strength to partially heal Tanktop Master with telekinesis.
• Psychic Strike (念打, Nen-da): By making a chopping gesture, an esper can strike a nearby target on the back of the neck with telekinesis, knocking them unconscious.
• Psychic Binding (念動金縛り, Nen-dō Kanashibari): A suppression technique used to restrain someone. In the webcomic, Fubuki claims she can hold her sister for ten seconds using this technique, though Tatsumaki broke free immediately. In the manga, Fubuki attempted to restrain Tatsumaki as she returned to fight the Monster Association executives despite her injuries, but Tatsumaki (again) broke free with ease, even in her weakened state. Fubuki taught this technique to her subordinates in the webcomic, but their effort to restrain Tatsumaki failed.
• Clairvoyance: A rare psychic power that grants the ability to see into the future. Only Psykos has shown this ability, which appears to have damaged her sanity, possibly indicating a major drawback.

• Chi Manipulation: This technique immobilizes and causes discomfort by bending a person's life force. It is less effective on strong-willed individuals like Golden Sperm, Garou, and Saitama. Fubuki likens the attempt to pinning down a giant boulder.
• Psychic Whirlwind (念流廻転嵐, Nen-ryū Kaiten Arashi): By moving psychokinetic signals in a circular pattern, Fubuki creates a whirlwind that deflects stronger psychic attacks and jams enemy espers' abilities if they step into it. She developed this technique to surpass her sister Tatsumaki, who had already mastered it during childhood and resisted its effects.

Fubuki uses psychokinesis to manipulate wind.

Tatsumaki uses her psychic powers for flight.

Gearsper uses a helmet to enhance his psychic output.

By eliminating friction, Geryuganshoop increases the velocity of the rubble to sub-light speeds and prevents it from evaporating due to heat.
