"I "listen" to my Spider-Sense with every ounce of concentration and spring when it gets the loudest!!"
― Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Marvel Comics)
"I have some form of Bat-radar."
― Michael Morbius (Morbius 2022)

The power to determine the location of objects in the environment by use of reflected sound waves. Sub-power of Sound Manipulation. Variation of Vibration Detection.

Also Called[]

  • Bio-Sonar
  • Echolocative Radar Sense
  • Radar Pulse

Capabilities[]

Users can emit sound waves and use the echoes that return from various objects to locate and identify the objects. Alternately, they can use ambient sounds to do the same. Since this ability isn't based on sight/light, Invisibility is useless against it, as are most forms of Camouflage. The user can perceive one's surroundings by making a noise and listening for the reverberating sound waves. They can determine the location of objects or other individuals in the environment by use of reflected sound or sound waves.

Echolocating animals emit calls out to the environment and listen to the echoes of those calls that return from various objects near them. They use these echoes to locate and identify the objects. Echolocation is used for navigation and hunting in various environments. Water-based creatures are able to use echolocation to locate and track down objects deep underwater in within dark and narrow openings and crevices of the marshes.
