Intangibility
Shadowcat (Marvel) passing through a wall.
Power/Ability to:	Pass through solid matter

The ability to pass through solid matter.

Also Called

• Insubstantiality
• Ghosting
• Phasing
• Quantam Phasing

Capabilities

User is able to move through objects and ignore most physical effects in their way, exact means how this is done vary between slipping partially into other dimensions, being able to make their own atoms move between other atoms, being non-physical being of energy, vibrating their molecules into a new quantam frequency, etc. Regardless the user is able to ignore most attacks, physical dangers and gravity.

Applications

• Air Walking/Water Walking
• Ignore physical objects, whether solid, liquid or gas.
• Ignore most forms of energy (heat/cold, electricity, etc.).
• Ignore gravity.
• Levitation
• Physical Disruption
• Spatial Phasing

Variations

• Amalgamation: user merges into the object and emerges from the other side.
  • Solid Merging
• Cartoon Physics: user becomes a drawing on a wall or jump out of the second dimension.
• Density Manipulation: user reduces their density to allow them go through solid objects, or vice versa.
• Elemental Intangibility: user takes on the forms of certain elements (fire, water, energy, etc.) to allow all attacks to simply pass through them.
• Human Hive: user's body, being an aggregate of tiny forms such as insects, allows attacks to pass right through them.
• Molecular Oscillation: users molecules move fast enough that they become intangible
• Non-Corporeal Form: the user is untouchable.
• Spatial Mimicry: user folds the space around for similar effect..
• Spirit Physiology: user becomes untouchable, and pass through solids.

Associations

• Molecular Manipulation
• Self-Molecular Manipulation

Limitations

• May need to hold their breath while inside solid objects.
• Some materials/effects may be un-passable.
• Density of object may affect ability's effectiveness.
• May be affected by energy or mystical effects.
• Users may activate this power accidentally.
• Some users may be limited in terms of effect (some may only be able to allow physical attacks to phase through their bodies, for example).
• Intangibility Cancellation makes this power useless.
• Electricity can bridge the molecules in quantam phasing.
• May only be able to phase certain parts of the body.
