X-Men 3 major character info!!

Now that I am schooling, I haf decided to create a new blog here... esp since I don't really favor the blog in Friendster. The old blog will be left untouched... since I can't delete it (consists of too many important info, and deleting the posts one by one is tiring) I may just as well leave it for 'exhibition purposes'.
What to type about first? Oh yes! The upcoming X-Men 3 movie!! Cant wait to watch it!! :-)

Kinesis types

-kinesis, from Greek "kinesis", movement, motion, is a suffix that denotes movement. (The word Kinesis itself similarly indicates movement, particularly in biology.)
Additionally, words ending in "-kinesis" are occasionally coined in fiction to indicate hypothetical parapsychological abilities relating to movement or specific forms of environmental manipulation.

• Aerokinesis is the purported ability to mentally manipulate currents of wind. Aerokinetics are alleged to be able to exert an enormous effect on the wind, even to create tornados. Precise practice of aerokinesis allows the user to move objects with air currents, producing an effect similar to psychokinesis.
• Atmokinesis is the purported ability to mentally affect the weather. The practice of atmokinesis is an obscure topic, even among psychics and other paranormalists.
• Audiokinesis is the purported ability to mentally manipulate sound waves.
• Biokinesis is the purported ability to mentally alter the physical body. This ranges from vitakinesis to manipulating DNA.
• Chlorokinesis, also known as Xylokinesis or Agrokinesis, is the purported ability to mentally control plants. Some Clorokinetics claim to have an innate ability to affect plant growth simply by "willing" it (as opposed to individuals with a "green thumb" who simply have skill or talent at caring for plants).
• Chronokinesis is the purported ability to mentally affect the flow of time. Of those few people who claim to possess the ability, most claim to pass through time "in spirit." The practice of chronokinesis is an obscure topic, even among psychics and other paranormalists.
• Cryokinesis is the purported thermokinetic ability to mentally absorb or displace thermal energy within atoms, effectively freezing an object by removing all heat. Self-proclaimed cryokinetics claim to be able to turn water into ice, cool the temperature in a room, and create ice from water vapor in the air; however there is little to no evidence of this phenomenon.
• Cytokinesis the step following telophase of mitosis in cell division, when the cytoplasm is divided into two of roughly equal proportion to the two new daughter cells, in asexual reproduction. This ensures there will be enough organelles for both of the new cells.
• Echokinesis, also known as Sonokinesis, is the purported ability to mentally perform echolocation.
• Electrokinesis is the purported ability to mentally manipulate electricity and electrical phenomena. Self-proclaimed electrokinetics claim to be able to interfere with television or radio reception and electrical light sources, like streetlights. Although most electrokinetics only claim the ability to manipulate existing electrical fields, others claim to be able to produce electricity through their hands. Electrokinesis usually requires physical contact between the electrokinetic and its target, although some accomplished electrokinetics claim to be able to create an arc up to three inches in length, which is surprising considering the immense amount of power required.
• Geokinesis, also known as Terrakinesis, is the purported ability to mentally manipulate the earth. Terrakinetics are alleged to be able to exert an enormous effect on the ground, even to create earthquakes.
• Gyrokinesis, also known as Gravitokinesis, is the purported ability to mentally manipulate gravitons and gravitational fields: the force of gravity of an object. Gravitokinetics are alleged to be able to enhance gravitational pull or negate it altogether.
• Hydrokinesis, also known as Aquakinesis, is the purported ability to mentally manipulate water in its solid, liquid and gaseous states.
• Hypnokinesis is the purported ability to mentally send an individual into a trance-like state, and/or mentally manipulate an entranced individual via hypnotic suggestion. Hypnokinesis is associated with: telepathy and empathy as a form thereof, precognition and biofeedback.
• Lygokinesis, also known as Energiakinesis, is the purported ability to generate/manipulate raw energy which can be used in a variety of ways.
• Magnetokinesis, also known as Magnokinesis or Ferrokinesis (though this last technically refers only to manipulating metal), is the purported ability to mentally manipulate all forms of magnetic and electromagnetic fields.
• Molecukinesis is the purported ability to mentally manipulate molecules, to control the molecules that make up anything that exists, and change or rearrange them into another form.
• Photokinesis, also known as Lumokinesis, is the purported ability to mentally manipulate photons, to create beams of intense light. Claims of possessing such ability are rarely made.
• Psychokinesis (a more modern term for what was earlier known as telekinesis) is used to describe the purported ability to mentally move an object without use of physical force. The most common example of this phenomenon is the alleged ability to bend spoons or forks, claimed by stage magicians such as Uri Geller.
• Pyrokinesis is the purported ability to remotely heat objects, causing them to ignite or melt, or, as popularly depicted in fiction, to spontaneously generate, control or quell fires.
• Telekinesis is the ability to mentally move, lift or "push" an object without physical contact, with the power of your mind. Telekinetics who claim to have this ability also often claim to have the power of telepathy.
• Thermokinesis is the purported ability to mentally manipulate temperature via cryokinesis and/or pyrokinesis.
• Toxikinesis is the purported ability to mentally manipulate spores, sludge and pheremones. This term is not a scientific classification.
• Umbrakinesis, also known as Nyctokinesis, is the purported ability to mentally repulse photons to create shadow or darkness, or to psychokinetically move objects via shadow.
• Vitakinesis is the purported biokinetic ability to mentally heal or rejuvenate damaged or aged bodily tissue on a cellular level. A Healer could hypothetically unwittingly be a talented vitakinesist.
