Touma was born with the mysterious and logic defying ability known as Imagine Breaker. This ability allows Touma to negate all supernatural powers which include the effects of magical, psychic, and divine powers with physical contact of his right hand.While he technically an Esper, Imagine Breaker is not an Esper ability. His status as a "Level 0 Esper" is thanks to the fact that Imagine Breaker can't be detected nor properly measured.
Although only his right hand can actively negate supernatural powers, there are some exceptions. Anything supernatural that affects his body as a whole will be completely negated. This makes abilities such as teleportation ineffective on him. Touma has also shown immunity to telepathy despite it being an ability primarily focusing on the brain.
Supernatural forces aren't the only things Imagine Breaker can affect. Humans with supernatural powers can be nullified upon physical contact with his right hand. Their powers will return the moment he releases them. Supernatural beings respond differently to Imagine Breaker depending on what they are and feel subconsciously afraid of him. Angels, for example, can be killed with Imagine Breaker. Supernatural constructs such as Golms when touched lose their power and subsequently fall apart.
Not everything can be immediately dispelled by Imagine Breaker. If the supernatural force is sufficiently massive enough, it will take extra time for it to be completely destroyed. Supernatural forces that can constantly regenerate are far more troublesome. The only way to permanently negate a regenerative supernatural force is to destroy its source. Touma can fortunately counteract his disadvantage against sufficiently massive and/or regenerative supernatural forces by disrupting it. During this state of disruption, he can physically interact with the supernatural force and safely redirect it elsewhere.
Touma possesses no direct control over Imagine Breaker. It is a passive ability that cannot be turned off no matter what. Because Imagine Breaker is indiscriminate on what it negates, it makes no distinction between beneficial and detrimental supernatural phenomenon. This makes receiving beneficial effects impossible. Imagine Breaker is the reason he is constantly plagued with misfortune since it even negates his own luck.
Precognition
Touma can subconsciously predict supernatural or supernaturally enhanced attacks. His Precognition gathers information from two sources; facial expressions and supernatural phenomenon. This allows him to gauge the severity of an attack and move Imagine Breaker into the best position to minimize damage. The predictions are accurate enough to give him the insight needed to react to attacks moving at light-speed or multiple directions.
His Precognition can be rendered ineffective by restricting the amount of information he receives. Mundane attacks can easily bypass his Precognition. Supernatural attacks become harder to counter when he is unable to read his opponent's facial expression. Its efficiency is also reduced if he tries to actively invoke his Precognition.
Physical Capabilities
Touma possess an inhuman amount of stamina as he is able to endure numerous attacks that would render a normal human incapacitated. This is coupled with an extraordinarily high pain threshold. His recover time between events usually only last a couple of days even with severe or fatal injuries.
While he may not be the most skilled or elegant fighter, Touma is a very competent street fighter. He can hold his own against armed opponents and can easily dominate people are who unfamiliar with physical combat. Everything he knows about fighting was learned solely through experience. He has no actual formal training so he tends to have great difficulty fighting against individuals who specialize and excel in physical combat.
Invisible Thing
Imagine Breaker acts as a seal to an unknown entity or power. This "Invisible Thing" was able to terrify and overpower Fiamma of the Right, a magician who had briefly attained the position "La persona superiore a Dio" (The person superior to God), after he cut off Touma's right arm. Touma himself was able to suppress that power and regrow his right arm. Very little has been revealed about the "Invisible Thing" or its capabilities.
Items/Weapons: His really crappy cellphone. The clothes on his back. All the necessary ingredients needed to cook up a delicious knuckle sandwich.
Sample Entry: How about a post and a thread? Sample Entry Two: Touma gazed out the hospital window from across his bed. Only a few golden strands of light managed to spill into the room as the sun slowly set for the night. It always felt so nostalgic whenever he found himself in this room again. He has involuntarily became a constant visitor to this particular room as far as he can remember. The day after the previous Touma had "died" and left behind a different person. His first memory as a new person was the sight of a white-clad nun on the verge of tears confessing her love for a dead man. In order to protect her, he created the illusion that he never lost his memories. A white lie in an attempt to ease her pain. Since that day, he has found himself in this very same room over and over again.
The hospital must have deliberately reserved this room for him for when he eventually almost killed himself again. There was no other logical explanation conceding how he always somehow ended up in the same room with the same doctor no matter what. He can definitely imagine the doctors saying, "Ah. Seems like Touma got his limbs cut off again. Well, I guess that just can't be helped. Better get Mr. Frog-Face to patch him up."
His thoughts were soon cut short as the white-clad nun, Index, came bawling through the door. "Touma!" She cried, "You got yourself into something dangerous without telling me again!" As usual, her voice was filled with worry and anger about his well-being. He gives her his warmest smile before replying.
