A "technopath" is someone who can control machines and bend them to the user's will, either through a physical or mental interface link. In some cases, this power also allows them to "hear" what a machine is "thinking" and establish a direct line of communication with the machine. Might be referred to as "Technomancy". It's not rare to see technopaths bringing formerly inanimate objects to life (e.g., toasters moving around and firing Projectile Toast at disgruntled users), which is much easier to do if Everything Is Online. Closely related to Magic from Technology. Not to be confused with a character who's pathologically bad with technology, or made a psycho/sociopath by technology. In modern-day settings that have many people with superpowers walking around, this is frequently the power given to children, as a magical metaphor for the way that people who grew up around technology are generally more comfortable with it. Compare with Walking Techfix, which is usually not deliberate. Contrast with Machine Empathy, where a character is closely attuned to a machine's behavior simply due to prolonged experience, and Techno Wizard for people capable of only metaphorical wizardry. Not to be confused with Walking Techbane, which is when a person is destructive to technology just by being near it. Also not to be confused with Teknopathetic. |

The Iron Queen from Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) is the only known surviving user of the ancient art of Magitek, which allows her to control robotics and cybernetics (including Artificial Limbs) through mystical powers. There seems to be a limit to her powers, though; she supposedly cannot control the implants of the Dark Legion, for example (according to her, they're too complex for her to manipulate, despite being created by the same Mad Scientist that created the cybernetics of her other victims). | |

Nate Grey is also capable of technopathy, via one of the more arcane uses of his vast Psychic Powers, scanning a database in seconds. He rarely uses it, as he rarely needs to — given that he's the most powerful psychic in the Marvel Universe at his peak and an outright Reality Warper, this is not surprising. | |

X-Men: Cypher from New Mutants has the mutant power to communicate in any kind of language. And yes, that includes programming language. This is how he manages to shut off the Master Molds, render the massive wave of Nimrods completely unoperational and throw the ultimate wrench into Bastion's plans towards the end of X-Men: Second Coming. Network is a mutant who can speak to technology and control it. The simpler the technology, the easier a time she has controlling it. Subverted with Sage. She is called a cyberpath, and her brain operates like a computer, but she doesn't seem to be able to communicate with machines on her own. However, she's got a spiffy command center and lives in an Everything Is Online universe. She's recently gotten Cool Shades which contain a wireless link to computers. Apocalypse is one of the greatest, as well as most convoluted, examples of this power — ironically enough, because infecting Nathan Summers with his T.O. virus as a child had his older future self come after him in the past, demonstrating his own technopathic abilities, and infecting En Sabah Nur with his own techno-organic pathogen that he'd grow into when Cable killed him. Nate Grey is also capable of technopathy, via one of the more arcane uses of his vast Psychic Powers, scanning a database in seconds. He rarely uses it, as he rarely needs to — given that he's the most powerful psychic in the Marvel Universe at his peak and an outright Reality Warper, this is not surprising. Tom Skylark in Grant Morrison's "Here Comes Tomorrow" is a mutant technopath who is able to make friends with a mutant-hunting robot. Madison Jeffries, formerly of Alpha Flight and later a recruit of the X-Club, can reshape metal, plastic and glass at will, often by talking to it. David Bond (the current page image), also known as Hijack, is a mutant with the power to control vehicular mechanisms at will, including cars, and even helicarriers. The mutant called the Reanimator can control anything electronic (such as Sentinels. Uh-oh!). Takeshi Matsuya/Wiz Kid (who's alternately been a member of the X-Terminators, Avengers Academy, and S.W.O.R.D.) has the ability to technoform machinery into various forms and functions of his specifications. Most notably, he used this power to turn his electric wheelchair into a Transforming Vehicle. John Greycrow of the Marauders can manipulate mechanical components, assembling them into a variety of different configurations like guns or projectile weapons. He typically wears a costume that gives him easy access to a wide variety of components to manipulate. |

A Certain Magical Index: Multiple: Misaka Mikoto, and probably her clones "The Sisters" can control computers and electronics mentally as an extension of their powers over electromagnetic fields. She came by this ability the hard way, though: She has to consciously control every part of the interaction. Accelerator has calculation abilities on par with a supercomputer, and can interface with a machine by controlling the vectors of the electricity within the device. Similarly to Misaka, he has to have conscious control over all of it, which means that it takes all of his concentration to do it. |

Hafidha Gates of Shadow Unit can not only consciously connect to and control any nearby machine which contains computer chips, but she can also, without any conscious effort, act as a Wi-Fi access point or cell phone tower. She can combine these abilities to directly connect to the Internet with her mind, but she instead prefers to control a computer which is connected to Internet. This is in addition to and separate from a paranormal boost to her technical skills, making her one of the most skilled Techno Wizards on the planet. | |

In Haven, a repairman has a form of this ability; anything that he fixes comes to life and kills those who he dislikes, along with those who would cause him to leave them.

Fringe has a character from the episode "Power Hungry" with this. He had experiments performed on him by a Mad Scientist to give him this. Unfortunately, he hasn't the slightest control over it; he mutilates his boss, kills the woman he secretly adores, and shorts out his mother's pacemaker. He is later kidnapped by the same people responsible for his power and has it altered so that he actually has control over technology, which he then uses to escape. | |

Heroes: Micah Sanders. He can "communicate with machines and electronics". His power seems to require physical contact with the device and a certain level of concentration, after which the changes he wishes to make are almost instantaneous. Using a cell phone, Micah can bypass the need for physical contact, at least in cases where the target device is controlled by a networked computer. In season three, when Micah demonstrates his ability to Tracy, it can be seen that he does not physically touch his computer when using his ability. When asked to rig an election, for example, Micah is able to reprogram the entire voting computer network, which covers the entire city, in roughly a minute, though doing so weakens him. To an extent, also the character Hana Gitelman, who appears primarily in the web-only side comics for Heroes. She's the "cyberpath" version, and can connect to anything that can receive a remote signal, not just a normal internet connection, meaning that as long as she has any signal strength at all, she can contact anyone without a phone, and receive and send e-mail without a computer. At one point she even IMs a computer that isn't online, but does have its wireless card in and active. Essentially, she trades Micah's versatility (he can influence any electronics that he can touch) for range. In the comics, Gitelman's physical body is killed, but lives on as a ghost in the Internet before being Killed Off for Real after being deleted from a Company mainframe. Matt Parkman Jr. aka "Baby Stop And Go" seems to have this power to a certain extent as well in that he can either turn something on or off. He's just a baby though so it's rather haphazard and mood dependent. "Something" also includes others' powers, as seen when he re-activates Hiro's time mastery. |

The third Loki from Loki: Agent of Asgard exhibits technomantic affinity; of course, in this case, this means actual magic. We don't know exactly how they do it, but they claim that it's easy because technology is very gullible, so it might involve lying. Ultron Forever also features a possible future version of Loki who has been transformed into a Contagious A.I. against his will. | |

In Sky High (2005), Gwen Grayson's superpower is her ability to control technology with her mind. Under her original identity, Sue Tenny, this made her an outcast and got her relegated to sidekick class while the popular kids called her a Mad Scientist, as technopathy was not seen as particularly useful back in The '70s — and sure enough, she became the supervillain Royal Pain. After a battle with the Strongholds resulted in her being de-aged, she returned to Sky High in the '00s and found that, in a more computer-driven society, her power is actually extremely potent, and on her second go-around, her powers made her the most popular girl in school. | |

The "machine empathy" mutant ability in Paranoia allows the mutant to make machines really, really like them. This is not as great as it sounds, because it also affects everyone's friend, The Computer. Who really, really doesn't enjoy being the thrall of a commie mutant traitor. So it employs special "machine empath detection" diagnostics to root out the traitor, and if caught, a machine empath can expect not only immediate termination, but also outright erasure of their clone template. Machine empaths lead a very brief existence. | |

Because Dana from Pilgrennon's Children had her Brain/Computer Interface during the critical learning period of her infancy, she can interpret data from other computers as easily as information from her senses. She can use GPS data to navigate, copy test answers from school computers, and play a VR game without a headset, among other things. | |

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman (1942): Professor Menace can control his Wonder Woman duplicate robot remotely using his mind and when the thing is electrocuted and shorted out, he gets a painful bit of feedback. He later controls three different robots this way but seems to have sorted out the feedback problems. Wonder Woman (Rebirth): Dr. Cyber can control electronics remotely, which is initially her only way of interacting with the physical plane prior to her using said ability to build herself an android body. |

Several characters in the Whateley Universe can do this to one extent or another. At the Superhero School Whateley Academy, Ringo has this power, as does the hated Assistant to the Headmistress Ms. Hartford (so the school's computer network has security that DARPA envies) and even Samantha Everheart, who is one of the school's security officers (but she has merged with a nanite supercomputer called Hive, so she has an unfair advantage). The supervillain Dr. Abel Palm has not only done this but has magically encrypted his soul into AI viruses and is trying to destroy all humankind. Merry is a cyberpath who can dive into computer networks and do whatever she wants. The character Whisper is one more of a growing number of technopaths in the universe. This kind of backfired on her, however, when, in a video game, the attacks on her character directly translated to injuries on her physical form. Some Gadgeteers have a more limited form of this, in that they can 'feel' the condition of the gadget they are working on (a type of psychometry), and even manipulate it to some degree. Loophole, who can use this to become an Instant Expert with almost any weapon or vehicle, applies this to Take a Third Option in her sophomore Combat Final, by taking control of the simulator itself. |

In GaoGaiGar, Guy is a technopath. Or just plain awesome. He can summon a giant mecha-lion or transformable jet-plane by just yelling. He even does it once while being in space without wearing a spacesuit. After he becomes an Evoluder, he is able to interface with machinery and computers. In GaoGaiGar FINAL, he uses his powers to overcome a lock on Orbit Base's computer system, and also to pilot Phantom Gao. In his battle with Palparepa, he uses it to turn Palparepa's nanomachines against him (although this doesn't have quite the intended effect). | |

They do have a limitation, however; seeing as they derive their powers from the Underworld, they're better off dealing with "anachrotech", and take penalties when dealing with newer technologies. So, it's easier to hack a Model T than it is an iPhone. | |

Iron Man: Thanks to Nanomachines, Iron Man can directly interface with most digital technology using only his mind. Still, it gets some getting used to, as people start thinking he's schizophrenic because he's suffering from a form of 'information overflow' and can't turn it off — though his hallucinations do come in handy with regards to the plot. He lost this power after Secret Invasion (2008). The minor character Cybermancer (Suzi Endo) had these powers. She was heavily involved in The Crossing, an infamous Continuity Snarl, until she was Rescued from the Scrappy Heap as War Machine's technical advisor. |

The World of Darkness: In the fan-supplement Genius: The Transgression, every PC is (or can be) one.

They do have a limitation, however; seeing as they derive their powers from the Underworld, they're better off dealing with "anachrotech", and take penalties when dealing with newer technologies. So, it's easier to hack a Model T than it is an iPhone. This was split into the psychic powers "Cyberkinesis" and "Cyberpathy" in the Sorcerer supplement to Mage: The Ascension. The Embassy to Machines in Princess: The Hopeful. Members of this Embassy never take penalties for trying to use unfamiliar technology, can automatically succeed on any roll to operate a machine by spending Willpower, can infuse a machine with Light to make it function more effectively, and more. Pretty much every Chronicles of Darkness splat, save Hunter: The Vigil, deals with this in some way. It's an animistic world, after all. |

Emma's friend in the Mutant X episode "Interface" is a technopath. She further gets enhanced by GSA to become a Wetware CPU but is restored at the end of the episode. According to Emma, she is the only New Mutant who managed to counteract the effects of the subdermal governor (presumably, she disabled it before they even activated the device). Many years before, both of them used to use their powers to cheat bartenders out of free drinks with Emma's empathy and, when the bartender eventually caught on, use her friend's power to shut off the lights and run away. | |

Mass Effect 3 shows that due to Commander Shepard's experiences with the Prothean Beacons and the Cipher, they are recognised by all Prothean technology as though they were a member of the species. This also implanted Shepard with an unconscious understanding of the Prothean language as well as letting them view data recordings, which other species can only see as static. Shepard also demonstrates on Thessia, they have a limited ability to sense Prothean Beacons. | |

Magneto manages to technically become this to the Sentinels in X-Men: Days of Future Past by wrapping steel bars inside them while they are being transported in order to gain control over them. How he gets them to fire their weapons is another matter. | |

Mass Effect: In all three games, classes like the Engineer and Infiltrator have a natural affinity for all things electronic, which translates into abilities like Overload, (AI) hacking and summoning combat drones. Certain squad members have these abilities as well. Mass Effect 3 shows that due to Commander Shepard's experiences with the Prothean Beacons and the Cipher, they are recognised by all Prothean technology as though they were a member of the species. This also implanted Shepard with an unconscious understanding of the Prothean language as well as letting them view data recordings, which other species can only see as static. Shepard also demonstrates on Thessia, they have a limited ability to sense Prothean Beacons. |

Official info says that Gundam Wing's ZERO System sets up a mental link between pilot and machine, allowing for speed-of-thought reaction times. Combined with the amount of battle data fed directly into the pilot's brain, this makes the system extremely dangerous to use since it can send anything other than a perfectly focused mind spiraling into total madness. | |

Weisz Steiner from EDENS ZERO has a form of Ether Gear called Machina Maker that lets him create and remodel machines in an instant through physical contact. As a young man, he can use this power to repair broken machine parts, construct artificial limbs, transform weapons, and upgrade spaceships mid-flight. His skills as an older man are said to be on a whole other level, however; as Happy can attest to, he can transfer living creatures' minds into mechanical bodies that are completely indistinguishable from their organic forms. When sufficiently pissed off, he also shows he can do things like convert a Cyborg's mechanical body into a walking bomb. | |

The protagonist of Watch_Dogs has the ability to hack anything. Anything. Black out city blocks, mess with traffic lights, make individual machines activate, hack ATMs, you name it, even stand-alone things like forklifts or cars. Sure, he uses a backdoor program and the city's universal free wi-fi to enable this, but there's essentially nothing electronic he can't bend to his will. For some reason, this includes the Big Bad's pacemaker. | |

Gundam: Psycommu ("Psychic Communicator") technology in the Universal Century is all about this: machines that can interpret the psychic emanations of Newtypes as commands. It started with Zeon's Elmeth mobile armor in Mobile Suit Gundam and continued in the Psyco Gundams of Zeta Gundam and the "Funnel" Attack Drone systems, all the way up to the Unicorn Gundam's NT-D system, which allows total psychic control over the entire mobile suit. Official info says that Gundam Wing's ZERO System sets up a mental link between pilot and machine, allowing for speed-of-thought reaction times. Combined with the amount of battle data fed directly into the pilot's brain, this makes the system extremely dangerous to use since it can send anything other than a perfectly focused mind spiraling into total madness. Gundam 00 has Innovators, whose minds can interact with quantum computers over the medium of "quantum brainwaves". |

Superman: Brainiac and his counterpart from the Legion of Super-Heroes, Brainiac 5. In fact, this is one of Brainiac's few consistent powers, alongside his Super-Intelligence. Hank Henshaw, the Cyborg-Superman, a recurring villain in the Superman and Green Lantern titles. Actually an Energy Being, he is able to project himself into robotic bodies, and create cloned bodies based on Superman's DNA, into which he then integrates any technology he captures. Metallo was granted these powers following an upgrade from Brainiac, and a deal with the demon lord, Neron, gaining the power to incorporate any machinery he came across into his android shell. Muto in the 2999 reality of The Dominus Effect, who reprograms all the Earth's robots to do his bidding to give Superman's descendant and his new allies, the Justice Alliance, something to fight. Kal Kent, the Superman of the 853rd Century, has this and a long list of other powers that even Superman doesn't have. Jimmy Olsen of the New 52 Earth 2, known as Accountable, is able to access news feeds just by holding onto a smartphone for a few minutes. |

DC Extended Universe: SHAZAM! (2019): Shazam's Shock and Awe powers give him some control over machines with a chance of breaking them. He can use his lightning to charge phones and raid ATMs and vending machines. Zack Snyder's Justice League: Due to being now partly made from a Mother Box's technology, Victor Stone/Cyborg is able to connect and interface seamlessly with anything technological from Earth and beyond, including being constantly plugged into the Internet. Notably, Cyborg is able to gain access to the Kryptonian ship's interface, and he also takes control of the Knightcrawler and reactivates it after it was wrecked by Steppenwolf. He even completely rebuilds a tape recorder he smashed to tiny bits, with it none the worse for wear. |

Mitchell Hundred from Ex Machina. Due to living in New York City, he suffered a sensory overload seconds after getting his powers and blacked out half of Manhattan by screaming "Shut up!" Afterwards, his brain readjusted — first he could only listen to technology he touched, then he could command them, then he could interact with any machine he could see. He can control technology ranging from complex electronics to those as simple as a handgun. However, a bow and arrow is too simple. | |

Magic: The Gathering: A common trait of "artificer" creatures, whose abilities typically allow them to manipulate, modify, and/or create artifacts using magic. Mishra, Artificer Prodigy and Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer are notable examples. Tezzeret, Artifice Master is a technopath planeswalker. He can create artifacts and gets more powerful the more artifacts you can control. Though it's not as frequent a focus as Psychic or Elemental Powers, Blue in general tends to have elements of this as well. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Joseph Joestar acquires the Stand Hermit Purple, which can 'plug in' to items such as cameras and televisions to produce a sort of 'scrying' effect, showing Joseph a picture of something happening at that very moment somewhere in the world. Interestingly, its scrying power isn't limited to technology (he once produced a map of a city, marked with a key location he needed to find, from spilled ashes) and its technology manipulation isn't limited to scrying (he used it once to regain control of a crashing airplane), though he typically uses them in tandem. Paisley Park, the Stand of Yasuho Hirose from JoJolion, has the ability to manipulate technology to guide Yasuho and her allies to the optimal outcome for her. It's done such things as hijack a GPS system, switch around some google search results, and — on multiple occasions — hack into security footage to track an enemy. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Phantom Ruby (and, by extension, Infinite) from Sonic Mania can do this as part of its Reality Warper abilities, giving powerful upgrades to the Hard-Boiled Heavies as well as Metal Sonic in Forces. The Deadly Six from Sonic Lost World also have this ability, being able to control dozens of Dr. Eggman's mechs at will. It's the reason why Eggman needed the Cacophonic Conch to subdue them; once Sonic brashly knocked it out of his hands thinking it was just another tool of Eggman's, they immediately went rogue and outgunned the doctor with ease. |

Spider-Man: Doctor Octopus has been getting this attributed to him lately. Because it was spawned when Carnage was being used as organic circuitry for a prosthetic arm, the symbiote named Scorn is described as not being able to discern the difference between technology and organics, freely capable of manipulating both. Carnage eventually learns how to do this, and turns Iron Man's own armor against him. In the 100th anniversary issue, in fact an issue only depicting what a 100th anniversary story would be like, Venom has been modified to be able to control and travel through electronics. |

Warhammer 40,000 has several examples. Eldar Bonesingers, their equivalent of engineers and artisans. They literally sing to bring wraithbone into existence and to shape it. Being a psychically sensitive material, it's the Craftworld Eldar's go-to building material for everything buildings to war machines. Ork Mekboyz aren't quite technopathic, but they have a workaround that's more like a cheat. Mekboyz can cobble together a machine which structurally can more or less work out, yet they really work on their species's gestalt psychic field. Their machines function relatively well because they will their machines into working because they think they should. The best part is that the Orks aren't quite aware of this crutch, just just think that's the way the world works. The AdMech explain it via the Orks scaring their machines into submission. Senior members of the Adeptus Mechanicus (who can, in terms of humanity, can only generously be described as cyborgs) think they are. Though, depending on the source in question, they are only trained to be very good with tech and think they're technopathic, and other times whether they are or not is left open to interpretation. Speaking of the Mechanicus, a subsect called the Machine Empaths are trained to interact and coax the A.I. of an object into cooperation. Higher members can literally feel what a machine is thinking without a direct link. |

In Shadowrun, most hackers have to use a hacking rig called a cyberdeck which had to be connected by a datajack. Then came the Otaku, kids who had a mysterious ability to interface with machinery and the matrix with nothing but a datajack, no extra equipment needed. Then the Crash 2.0 happened, and the Matrix was relaunched in a wireless format, and practically everything is connected, even things that shouldn't be. The Otaku all disappeared when the wired internet got blown up, and were replaced by Technomancers, whose brains have an equally mysterious ability to access the new wireless internet by thought alone. In addition, they have access to the Resonance. Nobody is quite sure what it is, but the best guess is that it's the raw "stuff" of the Matrix, giving technomancers strange, impossible-on-paper abilities, including making simple A.I.s called sprites. | |

Transformers: Animated: Megatron discovers that he can control Earth machines because so much technology has been reverse engineered from him over the last 50 years. Which is rather useful, as he was reduced to a head when he found this out. In the third season, Sari gains the ability to learn how to operate or repair any machine just by touching it: she describes it as the machines themselves simply telling her what they need. |

EVE Online: It was originally intended for pod pilots to be able to control their ship directly with their thoughts, but most people ended up feeling sick and dizzy from using it, so they settled for a less direct (but presumably still mental) interface. There are, however, cybernetic mindlink implants that allow their user to directly interface with various parts of the ship, giving passive buffs to them and their party. The current technology combines a sensory deprivation chamber with the mindlink, replacing the pilot's senses with the sensors of the ship. Even sound is emulated. |

In Deadlands: Hell on Earth, Junkers achieve this effect through shamanistic interactions with a special kind of tech spirit called a browser spirit. Since the game is set After the End, there are a lot of disembodied tech spirits floating around, and Junkers create new bodies for them to live in out of spare parts. It's kind of like tech-necromancy. While most tech spirits just inhabit their new bodies, browser spirits can communicate telepathically with any Junker that touches their body, and the most powerful kind of browser spirit keeps up a permanent telepathic link with the Junker who made its body. | |

The 4400: In "Ghost in the Machine", Warren Trask gained the ability to control machines after taking promicin. This was not immediately apparent as he had a stroke which rendered him unable to speak or move before his powers manifested. However, Warren's mental faculties were unaffected. He managed to tap into the computers running his life support and spread a virus to every operating system developed by Ubient Software from ATMs and laptops to government mainframes and international banking databases. This had a severe effect on the global economy. Warren did so out of revenge as Ubient's CEO Drew Imroth stole the idea for the operating system Enzyme from him in the early 1980s and made billions while he received only $100,000 as part of an out of court settlement. | |

She manages to defeat him, but some programming is left behind, and decides to enhance her of its own accord, giving her subdermal circuitry and the like.

They're revealed to the team in a skirmish with the Genii when Rodney wins the battle for them by thinking "wouldn't it be awesome if suddenly the Genii troopers' weapons jammed?" Guess what happens. Ancient tech is purposely made for this trope due to the fact that many operate via a wireless neural interface. Anyone with the necessary gene can activate it by just thinking at it. |

Matsu from Sekirei has the ability to look into any computer system with her mind and even hacks into and spies through MBI's sattelites at various points. This has caused her to be labeled "The Sneaking Sekirei" a title she doesn't appreciate. | |

Zack Snyder's Justice League: Due to being now partly made from a Mother Box's technology, Victor Stone/Cyborg is able to connect and interface seamlessly with anything technological from Earth and beyond, including being constantly plugged into the Internet. Notably, Cyborg is able to gain access to the Kryptonian ship's interface, and he also takes control of the Knightcrawler and reactivates it after it was wrecked by Steppenwolf. He even completely rebuilds a tape recorder he smashed to tiny bits, with it none the worse for wear. | |

Captain Atom had the ability to telepathically link to and access computers and telecomunnication networks, which makes sense, since his power set includes the ability to manipulate matter and energy in theoretically limitless ways. We only ever see him use this aspect of his abilities much in Captain Atom: Armageddon. Interestingly, the Silver Shield, the being Cap got his powers from in the first place, had the ability to communicate telepathically with human beings, so it stands to reason that Cap could do so also, although he never seems to have figured out how. | |
