Telekinesis is the the power to move, manipulate and control objects with the mind, and without physical contact with the objects. A particularly powerful telekinetic might be able to control individual atoms, or control objects over extremely long distances.
Most users of the power tend to find it easier to use if expressed through some motion of the hands (Brian Davis, not knowing this, had far less control over it than the more powerful Peter and Sylar). Telekinesis' strength seems to be far beyond that of any human potential, including the advanced human strength of Niki Sanders and Knox. Sylar, for example, was able to flip a police van, while Peter demonstrated the capacity to tear down the door of a vault, ableit with much time and concentration.
Telekinesis also makes Nathan Petrelli's and West Rosen's power to fly obsolete, as a person with Telekinesis can simply use it to levitate their own body, allowing them to float through the air. Sylar has been seen doing this on one ocassion to make a hasty escape.
