Talk:Matter Manipulation

I chose the title: Matter Manipulation, despite the fact that the DC Database calls it Molecular Reconstruction.

I have a good reason for not calling it that. Matter Manipulation is far more inclusive to other more advanced forms of this power. Molecular Reconstruction implies that the character with such a power can only manipulate matter on a molecular level. If that's the case they couldn't manipulate atoms all by themselves, or even subatomic particles. Not to mention that the word Reconstruction just makes one think that the can only manipulate it after it is destroyed, and thus they "reconstruct it," or rebuild it. Doesn't make sense to me.

Matter Manipulation implies so much more. People that have this ability would therefore be able to transform anything they want, not just at the molecular level, but beyond that. Firestorm's power isn't as limited as just reconstructing molecules. Firestorm's powers extend to the subatomic level, and molecular reconstruction doesn't cut it.
