molecular

In the television show Mutant X, Genomex created four types of new mutants: elemental, feral, molecular and psionic. Also known as 'Freaks', molecular new mutants have abilities that defy all laws of man and science. In is not uncommon to find a Molecular with several subclasses.

Subclasses

(listed in order from the most common.)

Intangible/Impervious Jesse Kilmartin, played by Forbes March

Intangible Intangibles have the ability to lighten the mass of their molecular structure to the point where they can pass through solid objects. An Intangible is only able to 'Phase out' for the length of time the individual can hold his/her breath. Also, if this form is held too long, they may not be able to Phase solid again, as their molecules will lose cohesion, and they will literally cease to exist.

Impervious Impervious' have the ability to increase the mass of their molecular structures to the point that they become completely immune from physical penetration. An Impervious is only able to 'Mass out' for the length of time the individual can hold his/her breath.

Invisible (Stealth) Invisibles also known as stealth mutants have the ability to project an aura around their bodies which shields them from the naked eye. They can be spotted by infa-red light or by Ferals or Psionics with certain abilities. A side effect is that Invisibles live short lives as their cells begin to deteriorate because of the mutation.

Propulsive Propulsives have the ability to move or fly at extremely high speeds.

Chromatic Lexa Pierce, played by Karen Cliche

Gravitative Gravitatives have the ability to alter the body mass of anything they desire. This is often a result of a growth in mutation from an Intangible.

Chromatic Chromatics have abilities which effect light, shade, colour, etc. This can include making oneself invisible, presumably without the side-effects of an Invisible.

Stasis Suspension Moleculars with the ability of stasis suspension can alter or freeze time.

Replicators Replicators have the ability to make perfect replicates of anything they desire.

Elastics Elastics have the ability to alter their shape or size. This is arguably the rarest New Mutant subclass.

Regeneratives The ability to heal or repair one’s own tissues or limbs; and/or the tissues or limbs of others. Self-healing regeneratives usually have powers that are permanent or self-activating by nature. In fact, some had been known to actually survive utter annihilation. Because of this, regeneratives are often faced by the moral question of whether or not there is indeed life after death

Other Moleculars

Mutants are portrayed with molecular abilities across various media with varying abilities, like Marvel Comics character Mr Fantastic of the Fantastic Four or the phasing Shadowcat of X-Men. Piper Halliwell from the television series Charmed has the ability of Statis Suspension.
