Doesn't he need to touch things with his hands to distort space? LOLOLOL the author forgot the thing he said literally one second later, and why isn't he just distorting all their heads and making them explode at a distance?
By the way, yes, I know the answer is plot and bad writing, that way you can have the dude pull the shit he's doing right now off by distorting things without touching them (Like the walls that are bumfuck knows how far from him) whilst also saying he can't directly one shot any opponent that comes his way.
