The Superpower List - A growing list of superpowers, created by you.  Dream the impossible.
Superpower: Phasing
The ability to pass through solid objects
People with phasing don't respect doors. Or walls. Or floors, or ceilings, or cars, or buildings, because they don't have to. At the slightest thought, they become immaterial, and objects pass right through them without stopping. They keep from sinking into the ground by a type of electron repulsion.
The good:
Ultimate thief
Can ignore hallways and go straight to your room
Freak people out
The bad:
No offensive powers
Unable to phase more than twice your own mass
EMPs can disrupt electron repulsion

The reason things are solid is because of the electromagnetic force. Let's say you set your hand on a desk. The reason your hand doesn't go through the desk is because ITS electrons are shoving back against YOUR electrons. A Phaser can disrupt this field, letting them smoothly pass through objects. Their suconscious mind keeps them from just dropping through the floor or their clothes by not letting their power interfere with the EM force the floor/clothes has. Savvy?

I thought that you keep from going through the ground the same way you keep from going through your clothes (a subconscious instinct that psychically prevents bodily harm, or the like)

I would of thought a electron repulsing field would give you something vaguely like plasma..

I've been thinking about this power for a while, if this power is based on an electron repulsion then the density of a object would increase the traction one can induce, thus increasing the speed of travel. I also like that electricity can disrupt it, it does kind of need a tangable weakness.

That is one of the things a Phaser has to watch out for. Good eye there, Dan.

What about getting stuck in a wall or something that wouldn't be fun at all.
