Control Over Friction: At first glance, this power might sound somewhat lackluster. However, it offers the potential for both defensive and offensive maneuvers. You could reduce friction to create slippery surfaces, causing enemies to lose their balance, or increase it to an extreme to stop moving objects instantly. You could also walk up walls or across water by dramatically increasing friction under your feet.
Insect Communication/Control: Insects are everywhere and in great numbers, they could serve as spies, distractions, or even weapons. If you think about the collective strength and venomous capabilities of some insects, this power becomes a formidable tool.
Paper Manipulation: In the right hands, incredibly versatile. You could create paper barriers, weapons, or even creatures. Considering how common paper is, you'd almost always have some source of power.
