Doctor Mystique

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Extrasensory Perception (ESP)**: Sterling has the ability to manipulate or otherwise interact with matter with mental effort alone. Once Sterling is tied directly to one's mind, it can be activated and controlled through his conscious effort and concentration.
	+ **Telekinesis**: The ability to bring forth a physical energy just by thinking it, which can be used to do things like move or break objects. It's one of his most commonly used powers. Without any precaution, Sterling's power increases every time he attacks. When full force is applied, there is a great increase on the power and speed of the object/person the psychokinesis in being used and is possible to continue until exhaustion. One of the main techniques Sterling uses which allows him to move multiple rocks and inflicts damages to someone regardless of the distance. He demonstrates this power during the Villian League's U.L.T.R.A ambush, when he uses his telekinesis to lift up over 20 androids and crash them through the ceiling.
		- **Flight**: Sterling is able to use this power to move through the air and simulate flight, in order to hover and safely float back to the ground. The use of this power manifests as a blast of psychic energy expelled from his hands onto the ground to propel herself up in the air, with a second blast used to slow his momentum as he approaches ground allowing him to land safely on the ground.
	+ **Telepathy**: Sterling is primarily able to transmit information from one person to another through mental means. However, many other mind-based abilities fall under telepathy due to those powers overlapping with the core concept of telepathy, like Sebastian's hypnosis.
		- **Empathy**: Sterling can sense and experience a person's emotions and feelings through mere touch. He was able to feel that Wanda was attracted to Teddy just by touching her hand. In addition, he can also experience a person's feelings rather than simply sensing them, allowing him to feel the grief and sadness of other people, which caused him to shed a tear, even while he remained emotionless on the outside. He can also do this at a small distance to some degree.
			* **Emotion Manipulation**: Sterling is also able to manipulate emotions to some degree using his touch. For example, he can make a sad person happy, or calm down an angry one. He was able to cause Wanda to become scared when attacking her. He has even shown himself to be able to make people more docile, to the point of unconsciousness. He can also cause a person to fall asleep almost instantly, using her powers to manipulate a person into becoming docile.
	+ **Teleportation**: Sterling has the ability to send back himself and/or something he touches to a faraway place. He can only teleport once before needing to wait thirty seconds until he can use it again.
		- **Apportation**: Sterling has the ability to pull something from somewhere else and have it appear before you. This ability works in tandem with teleportation. Anything teleported needs to be exchanged using Apport with something of exactly equal value or within a 10% difference. st can cause trouble if he isn't careful, as the item that apported takes the place of the apported item.
	+ **Psychic Energy Manipulation**: Sterling can project energy blasts, streams, waves and bolts of his own psionic and telekinetic energy, allowing him to strike, push, pull or blow away his targets, potentially exerting enough force to destroy them. This energy manifests in any shape or form, outlining his telekinetic spheres of influence, as the energy is visible in a orange-ish color.
		- **Psychic Constructs**: Sterling can change psionic energy into different shapes, objects, materials and substances of varying complexity, permanence, tangibility and perceptibility, ranging from items such as tools and weapons, to other forms such as images, elements, entities, structures and environments. Sterling has mastered this ability can use it for almost any situation, creating anything he needs.
	+ **Spatial Manipulation**: Sterling can manipulate space, the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction, within an area of Sterling's choosing, including an area and whatever is inside of that area. Most commonly, Sterling can use this ability to teleport by depleting the space from point A to point B, simply choosing to occupy a different space, or by creating portals. At a higher level, users can 'pull' space together apart, effectively generating a magnetic pull which causes anything of the user's choosing to diverge upon or to rip apart any object by tearing away the space that it occupies. They can also do the opposite: 'pushing' space, which is essentially the expansion of space in a certain area to push away objects. Depending on how strong the 'push force', it can act as an unstoppable cannon that launches space and anything that occupied it.
		- **Spatial Awareness**: Sterling possesses an instinctual extrasensory ability that prevents him from materializing all or part of his body within a solid object. Sterling is able to teleport into any place within his teleportational range, whether he has seen it or not, without danger of harming himself or others.
	+ **Reality Manipulation**: Sterling can warp reality. Sterling's reality warping abilities began initially on a small scale, however, as time progressed, his powers have grown exponentially.
		- **Astral Projection**: is capable of separating his astral form from his body, gaining access to the Astral Dimension. Sterling's astral body could also make his physical body glow from the inside out by putting his hand through it and touching it, which he used to allow Onyx to better see his wound when he launched a surprise attack on Sebastian.
		- **Thoughtography**: Sterling possesses the ability to create picture perfect photos just by thinking of the object/person and telepathically printing the image on any material.
