Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Psychokinesis: Tatsumaki is the most powerful esper shown in the series. Her psychokinetic output surpasses even Geryuganshoop. She is capable of effortlessly stopping a very powerful bombardment attack from Boros's giant spaceship as well as sending them back at the ship with the same, if not more, force. According to manga illustrator Yusuke Murata, Tatsumaki can lift the entirety of Z-City. She can also sense when her younger sister, Fubuki, is in danger. In her brief fight against Hundred-Eyes Octopus, an enormous Demon-level monster with the size of a skyscraper if not bigger, Tatsumaki effortlessly sent the octopus-like monster in the air and crushed it into a ball with her telekinesis power. During her call from the Hero Association to discuss the rescue of Narinki's son, she asked Commander Sekingar if she couldn't just destroy the Z-City Ghost Town to find him. Her psychic abilities are powerful enough to withstand Psykos increasing the gravity by 300 times. When serious, she was able to lift the entire Monster Association Headquarters out of the ground while simultaneously shielding multiple other heroes inside the facility.
- Flight: Tatsumaki uses psychokinesis to levitate and fly through the air at high speeds.
- Psychic Barriers: Tatsumaki can erect barriers that varies in size for defense. They were strong enough to withstand Orochi's combined energy blasts with only a slightly singed dress. She was also able to create a barrier so great that its size enveloped large parts of Z-City, as well as being able to invert and add another layer to the barrier in order to trap any target within it, making it hard if not impossible to escape. Tatsumaki also has the ability to maintain her barriers even when out of consciousness. Her psychic barrier left her unscathed by Homeless Emperor's full-power assault.
- Telepathy: Tatsumaki can use telepathy to psychically contact her sister.
- Chi Manipulation: An ability to immobilize and cause discomfort to a person by bending his/her life force. This power is less effective against people with strong willpower like Golden Sperm, and almost futile against those who have broken their limiter or have come close to such a feat like Saitama and Garou. According to Fubuki, attempting to use this technique on a strong-willed person is just like trying to pin a giant boulder.
- Psychic Remote: Tatsumaki can control TV channels using psychic power.
- Psychic Binding (念動金縛り, Nen-dō Kanashibari): An ability used to immobilize targets.
- Psychic Whirlwind (念流廻転嵐, Nen-ryū Kaiten Arashi): This is an anti-psychic technique. By making her psychic signals move in circles around her, Tatsumaki can create a whirlwind capable of harmlessly redirecting or deflecting psychic attacks. She developed this technique during her childhood and has further developed it into an attack.
