Insect Swarming

The power to separate and disperse into swarm of insects. Technique of Insect Physiology. Variation of Animal Swarming.

Also Called[]

Insect/Bug Swarm Form

Capabilities[]

The user can disperse their body into a swarm of insects, scattering into large area while retaining control over their fragments instead of staying in relatively cohesive form and reforming from any part.

Applications[]

Hive Mind
Reforming
Spying/scouting large areas at once.
Defensive dispersing making the user very hard to hurt and especially capture/kill since finding all of the fragments is practically impossible using normal methods.

Variations[]

Butterfly Swarming

Associations[]

Limitations[]

There's a limit for how far the scattered parts can be from any other part.
May need most of the scattered pieces together to be able to reform.
- Missing parts may cause the user to be in a diminished/wounded state or partially complete.
Amount of scattered pieces may be limited by the user's body size.
May require enhanced coordination to control all the fragments.

The user might be injured if the scattered pieces are when transforming back together.
May be vulnerable to gas or other attacks that affect a wide area while in swarm form.
May be limited to certain types of insects.
Animal Manipulation/Insect Manipulation can counter this power.
Bugs are very easy to squash and kill.
Pesticide could probably have an affect on the user.
