Powers and Abilities
Tudbury is the most powerful telekinetic on earth. The upper limits of his powers are unknown, but some of his notable feats include lifting a battleship out of the water for several minutes, temporarily halting a Takisian starship in mid-flight, ripping off the leg of the second robotic Modular Man, destroying the Brooklyn Bridge, and creating a tidal wave to drown the Rox. However, Tudbury is also incredibly insecure about his powers which causes them to wilt to almost nothing when not in a shell. Outside his shell, Turtle's telekinesis is limited to levitating small objects such as pencils and beer cans or, when in a calm, confident state, objects about the size and weight of a bowling ball, including an alien teleportation device and the first Modular Man's decapitated head. In or out of his shell, Turtle tends to best employ his powers through acts of visualization where he imagines giant, invisible hands, fists, shields, battering rams, wings, and other "props" he can focus on. Once, when flying three shells simultaneously Turtle found it easier to imagine all three welded to the points of a giant triangle rather than trying to levitate them separately.
