Telekinesis in Star Trek
Telekinesis is a relatively rare ability in Star Trek. Many super races have telekinetic abilities, but very few humanoids have demonstrated telekinesis. A group of humans who settled the planet Platonius, however, acquired telekinetic abilities from consuming a substance called kironide found in the local food supply[1]. The Platonians also aged very slowly, but their immune systems were extremely weak, making even a tiny scratch a life-threatening infection risk.
