Quake is an element. It is generally associated with the colors yellow and light orange.

Users' abilities

• Vibrokinesis - The user is able to create, manipulate, and generate vibrations and quakes.
  • Vibration Infusion - The user can infuse themselves or an object with seismic energy to increase the strength of their blows.
  • Earthquake Generation - The user can cause earthquakes by channeling vibrations into the ground.
  • Superhuman Strength - The user appears to possess a degree of superhuman strength.^[1]
  • Shockwave Generation - The user has the ability to create giant shockwaves.
  • Lithokinesis - As seen in "The Ultimate Object of Admiration", the user can likely manipulate and move rocks using Quake.
  • Quake Immunity - The user is immune to the effects of their own quakes.

Weaknesses

• Dangerous environments - The user can risk destabilizing environments that are naturally dangerous, such as caves and cavernous locations. This was shown when Frak used his power in a cave, which only caused the cave to start collapsing.
  • Collapsing Environments - The power of Quake cannot be used in environments that are collapsing due to speed and environmental risks. This is potentially a weaknesses strictly reserved for Frak, but could also apply to other users of this power.
• Limited Range - The user of Quake cannot affect objects that are not touching the same surface as the user.

Trivia

• Quake is similar to another Elemental Power, Earth.
  • Quake is most similar to Earth in The LEGO Ninjago Movie with its shockwave and earthquake generation.
• Quake is the first known Elemental Power to have a Serpentine host.
  • However, Aspheera has wielded Fire and Darkness before and Pythor has wielded Darkness, though neither of them were not born with possession of these Elements.
• Quake is one of the seventeen elements that are not currently known to be confined to a human host. The other sixteen are Time, Fusion, Balance, Propulsion, Figment, Plants, Ice, Reflex, Size, Sound, Surface Tension, Brute Force, Fear, Misfortune, Decay, and Swarm.
• Tommy Andreasen once stated in 2021 that, regarding Wojira's powers of Wave and Storm, "It takes wind (or quake) and water to produce a wave. It takes wind, water and lightning to make a perfect storm."^[2] Years later, a fan asked Doc Wyatt on Bluesky if it could be assumed, according to Tommy's statement, that both Quake and Lightning were directly a part of this ability, to which Doc simply responded, "I buy this."^[3] It is unknown if this answer is canon, as Quake was not introduced as an element until after Seabound.
  • If it has indeed existed prior to the Merge, it puts into question whether or not the element was used by the First Spinjitzu Master.
• The Finnish version of The Epic Dragon Rescue! incorrectly refers to Zeatrix as the Master of Quake instead of Shockwave.
• According to Glen Lakin, among the elements Heat, Light, and Sound, two are derived from the Source Dragon of Energy with the other being derived from another Source Dragon.^[4] When asked a similar question with Quake and Heat being the options, he gave the same answer.^[5]
