An Esper (エスパー, Esupā) is an individual who possesses telepathic or psychokinetic powers.

Overview

Espers are individuals of various races that naturally awaken, possess and can harness psychic powers (超能力, Chō Nōryoku, lit. Supernatural Power). Espers are quite rare, but once awakened, they can become quite powerful in their own right.

Geryuganshoop claims to be the strongest psychic combatant in the universe. However, this has never been confirmed. So far, Tatsumaki is shown to be the most powerful Esper in the world.

Certain technology can enhance psychic abilities as seen with Gearsper.

It is possible to train a person to wield psychic abilities, demonstrating that psychokinesis is not an ability restricted to espers solely.

Known Psychic Powers

• Psychokinesis
• Telepathy

Weaknesses

Overexertion: Espers can suffer extreme negative effects on the bodies if they exert themselves like extreme fatigue, fainting or even vomitting blood. It is proven when Tatsumaki was shown to vomit blood after exerting her power to squish the fusion of Psykos and Orochi and along the way distort the entire Z-City, and she later fainted from the exhaustion of the battle. Similarly, Gearsper and Fubuki also collapsed into unconsciousness after exerting their power, with Gearsper attempting to stop Nyan and Fubuki suppressing Genos’ overloading core.

High-Speed Enemies: Esper power can only work if the esper can detect the enemy's movement. If the enemy is too fast, they cannot attack accurately. For instance, Fubuki was incapable of following the battle between Bomb and Garou due to how fast they were combating, therefore she could not use her psychokinesis to aid Bomb in fighting the Hero Hunter.

Brain Damage or Head Injury: According to Psykos, espers cannot use their power temporarily if they suffer a head injury or brain damage. This is shown when Tatsumaki cannot use her power when she suffers a concussion after Psykos sneak-attacks her from behind.

Willpower: People with exceptional willpower can resist psychic attacks. This is shown when Saitama resists Tatsumaki's chi bending and her attempt to throw him into space.
