* UnscientificScience: Geiger is a physics professor who is also secretly a telekinetic. Two cops are investigating a series of bank robberies performed by people doing seemingly impossible feats. After he foils a convenience store robbery and is caught on camera, they come to ask him a few questions. They randomly bring up telekinesis. He points out that he's not an expert on anything like that. So they ask him in his capacity as a physics professor...because physics professors are supposed to know about things like that, apparently. His answer involves the telekinetic making a connection on the "cellular" level to the object he or she is moving.

The only way this could be reasonable was if it was limited to organic matter, which would exclude a vast majority of what they might want to use telekinesis on.

* DontThinkFeel: A variation when Adrian Geiger is trying to teach other telekinetics how to do something they previously-thought impossible (like move a car half a mile away or grab a sniper on the roof). Notable is that it fails with his NumberTwo (who is too hot-headed to get it right) but succeeds with Zach, who has always [[CursedWithTheAwesome considered his powers a curse]].

--> '''Adrian Geiger:''' Don't think you can. ''Know'' you can.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: One of the telekinetics kills a Federal agent with a NeckSnap by light waving his hand to the side from several feet away. Of course, manipulating far-away and/or heavy objects requires ''much'' greater concentration.
* NeckSnap: A telekinetic does this to an agent with a simple wave of the hand. Given that they are shown to be able to break open bank vaults with their minds, this is justified.
* NoEyeInMagic: Played straight and then subverted. It's a known fact (among certain circles) that telekinetics require a line-of-sight on their target in order to be able to manipulate it. However, when Addison (the former head of Project Momentum) has captured Geiger's daughter Tristen and gloats over Geiger (the leader of the telekinetic rebels) by showing her tied up and blindfolded on a TV screen. Geiger manages to untie her remotely through the TV, much to Addison's shock. Geiger than explains that he's trained himself to do things that Addison can't even dream of.
