Plausible. But then, why not just manipulate the laws of physics so the 
man goes flying without having to physically kick him? :-D (Or better 
yet, make it so all the oxygen in the room mysteriously vanishes...)

But then, that wouldn't be very exciting, would it?

Given that it seems that these guys can only "bend" the laws of physics, 
rather than utterly disregard them, maybe they can only enhance or 
reduce physical effects that are already happening or something? Who knows.

OMG... geeks! o_O
