    The ability to break things down into bricks of their atomic elements. Imagine what could be done with waste and recycling, especially tech recycling. You could make money easy.

    If you were willing, I think you could create world peace (not absolute, but you could end wars if dickhead political leaders suddenly became chunks of carbon and other elements).

      You would have to be very skilled, though. You would be the replicator from Star Trek, but do you really know how to assemble complex substances and even living things from their constituent molecules?

        I’m not concerned about reconstructing anything other than bricks of pure individual elements.

        it sounded to me his power is like you can take a circuit board and convert it to plastic and smal bits of gold and other elements that its made of. It did not sound like he could reconstitute. Still hella useful.
