Slow-phase [minor] by Iczer, based on an idea by Mr. Twist

'Moving on now...'

The character can move through objects, by applying a slow, but steady force and pushing his way through. essentially, the character can walk through any barrier or obstacle with enough time and effort. He has a virtual speed of 2 when moving through objects, but this is halved if his PS does not exceed an object's AR. The target must be in a position to apply force when using this power, so immobilization with low resistance (such as being tied in rubber tubing) is effective in restraining the character.

Other bonuses:

Takes no damage from crushing and squeezing. This in fact triggers his power. any hold that applies any force or restraint simply allows the character to slow-phase out in one action. If the character is being crushed or squeezed, then the character need spend no action whatsoever.
Character cannot suffocate while inside an object, he draws oxygen from stray molecules. As a result, as long as there is oxygen somewhere nearby, he cannot suffocate, and may breathe through any portion of his skin.
Likewise, the character is blind while inside an object, but retains a sense of hearing throughout the object, effectively gaining the minor power of sonar while inside an object.
