Psychokinesis (サイコキネシス, Saikokineshisu^?, also known as "Telekinesis") is an ability to move (-kinesis) matter with the mind (psycho-) without exerting physical forces on the objects. In Sonic Rivals and Sonic Rivals 2, it is called "ESP".

Whenever in usage, the psychokinesis power surrounds the targeted object with a cyan aura coating.

DescriptionEdit

Silver the Hedgehog uses this ability to manipulate physical objects: his main method of attack is to grab an object and hurl it at his targets great distances with tremendous force. He can also project energy blasts that can either stun or deal damage to others and he can paralyze his targets by forming a bubble of pure psychokinetic energy around himself.

As for traveling means, he can manipulate himself by levitating in the air to fly at high speeds. In his original time line, with lava everywhere, Silver could not run anywhere, so he used his psychic powers for his main mode of transportation. He can also teleport short distances.

In his Super State, Silver gains a new ability called the Shield of Light that allows him to create a shield of psychokinetic energy around himself and grab hold of any items around and throw them at his enemies.

In Sonic Rivals, Silver can use "ESP"—a variant of psychokinesis—to confuse his opponent's sense of direction.

In Sonic Generations, Silver could create a large blade of psychokinetic energy, called "Psychic Knife" by Omochao, that could be launched either horizontally or vertically. He can also grab a large amount of debris and smash it down at Sonic with instantly lethal effects.

Archie ComicsEdit

In the Archie Comics series, the ability is known as "Telekinesis", and Silver usually extends his arm in order to remotely pick things up, and push or pull things, including living things. He tends to use this ability frequently, even once using it to throw Sonic against a building. He can also perform limited telepathy, but all he can do at the moment is give someone a headache and talk with another telepath inside his head, but the latter leaves him with a migraine. This particular skill can be enhanced while using specialized equipment though.

In this version, a cyan aura appears when Silver uses his psychic powers like in Sonic '06.

TriviaEdit

• Silver is the only character to date who can use this ability. However, Devil Doom shows a possibility of this ability, when he can levitate debris around his body or to hurl at Super Shadow. It is also possible Iblis is capable of using Psychokinesis, because he is able to hurl rocks at Silver in Iblis Phase 3.
• "Psychokinesis" is an umbrella term for any ability that involves using the mind to manipulate something.
• Silver seems to be extremely strong while using Psychokinesis, as he is able to lift a ball of rock nearly half the size of Iblis, and then throw it back at him. Another time he has been shown to be strong with Psychokinesis is in the boss fight against him on Sonic Generations when he hurls a boulder made of wreckage at Sonic.
