Thermal propulsion

Thermal propulsion is a feat of mechanical engineering, but may also be categorized as a super-power. It is the process of using thermal energy to provide heft and thrust to a volume of mass, enabling it to fly. This application is used in rocket technology, but also employed in more fictional fare, such as jet-packs, hover vehicles, etc.

The Marvel Comics character Sam Guthrie is a mutant who is capable of flying for short distances at great speed due to thermal propulsion.
