While it is unknown just how he achieves this, it is currently theorized to be some sort of gravitational manipulation.

At its most basic level he can shoot lightning, but in the short time he’s been a Nova he’s shown an outstanding level of control. Other “tricks” he’s learned include creating a protective field of electromagnetic force, creating an electromagnetic pulse, magnetizing objects, locking up a persons ability to move with electrical current, and most recently, controlling electronic devices.
