Saiki Kusuo/Abilities

Psi Powers
The current list of powers Kusuo has displayed thus far.

Apport
The power to pull something from somewhere else and have it appear before you.

Astral Projection
The power to separate his/someone else spirit from their body.
 * Possession - Kusuo taking over someone else's body by switching his spirit with theirs.

Death-warning
A vision of a living person prior to their death.

Flight
The ability to fly/float.

Hypnosis
Kusuo uses this power to disguise other people, making Reita look like Kokomi, or making his father look like himself.

Invisibility
The power to turn himself invisible for 10 minutes. It is canceled if someone touches him while he's in that state. When the time runs out, or if someone touches him, he has to wait 1 minute before turning invisible again.

Mediumship
Also called channeling - communicating with spirits. This power seems to work best on Nendou Dad spirit.

Memory Alteration

 * Memory Alteration - delivering a strong impact to someone's head to eliminate the desire memory. Comes in a wacky yellow bat form.
 * Memory Supplementation - the drawback of this power as Kusuo uses restoration on the brain of the person, the memory is filled with different memory on each person

Mind Control
The power to influence the minds of every single person on the planet - this can even change the laws of nature and human ecology itself, making it one of his most powerful abilities.

Petrification
The power to turn someone to stone by looking them in the eye. This happens automatically unless he is wearing his glasses.

Precognition
The power to see events that will occur before they actually happen, usually accompanied by a headache.

Psychometry
The ability to receive information stored in an object if he touches it without his gloves.

Pyrokinesis
The ability allowing a person to create and control fire with their mind.

Restoration
The power to revert a person or object, and everything it touches, by 24 hours.

Shrinking Power/Size Augmentation
The power to shrink down his body to small sizes. It takes 1 hour to return to normal size. Later it's revealed that he also has the power to grow huge, but it's basically useless. Shrinking = fast, growing = slow.

Super Strength
The ability of having extreme strength, beyond what is believed to be normal.

Telekinesis
The ability to bring forth a physical energy just by thinking it, which you can use to do things like move or break objects.

Telepathy
The ability that is used the most, due to the mode of Kusuo's communication. The power to read and talk through minds. It works on humans and animals, but Kusuo can't turn it off.
 * A foreboding - The ability to telepathy to plant an idea/sense of foreboding in someone's head.

Teleportation
The power to send back himself or something to a faraway place. But he can only teleport once before needing to wait three minutes until he can use it again.
 * Transaction of Apport and Teleport: Anything teleported needs to be exchanged using Apport with something of about equal value

Thoughtography
The ability to recreate picture perfect photos just by thinking it.

Time Travel/Time Leaps
The power to escape the flow of time by jumping to either the past or future. It also activates itself randomly, getting Kusuo stuck in a loop, and the only way to get time to go back to normal is for him to completely empty his mind of all thoughts.

Transformation
The ability to physically transform his body into anything- takes 2 hours to fully transform, when he takes on a non-human form, it's hard for him to control his physical strength.

X-Ray
The power to see through things you normally couldn't like underside of a face-down card, or the contents of an airtight box. This ability cannot be switched off because he sees through the skin of other organisms and sees their body in their muscular and skeletal systems.

Weaknesses
Uncontrollable Powers: When the limiter devices on his head are removed, even for a second, Kusuo himself is knocked unconscious and even after waking up, he is unable to control the muscles in his entire body. Worse, his mind control powers are not controllable either. He states that his powers will wreak havoc onto the entire world and cannot be stopped by even him.

Germanium: Even though Kusuo does not consider this a weakness, he is unable to use his telepathic powers when in contact with the element germanium. However, he is unable to react when wearing a germanium ring he found, which unsettles him because everyone turns into a Nendou-like being to Kusuo where he is unable to read their minds and figure out their actions.
