Great and Powerful Turtle - Powers and Abilities

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.

    Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    One never gets to know a person’s character better than by watching his behavior during decisive moments.... It is always only danger which forces the most deeply hidden strengths and abilities of a human being to come forth.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)
