elemental power
Geokinesis
Control of earth, rock and stone — raising, shaping and moving it without touching it.
How it works
The heaviest of the elemental powers and usually the most physical: it reshapes the battlefield rather than striking a target. Sand and metal manipulation are usually written as specialisations of it, which is why earthbenders who cannot bend sand are treated as incomplete.
Who has geokinesis
Across 4 universes. This list crosses publishers — something no single wiki can do, because every franchise keeps its own separate database.

The feat ledger
Every entry cites the work it comes from. Feat means it was shown in the work; Statement means a character or narrator said it. Nothing here is a fan estimate unless it is tagged Calc.
Toph Beifong — Invents metalbending by finding the earth still inside refined metal
Toph Beifong — Bends by sensing the ground rather than seeing the target, which is why blindness is not a limit
Terra — Raises and hurls landmasses at a scale the Titans cannot counter
Terra — Control is stated to be limited by her own instability rather than by power
Sandman — Shifts between solid, granular and dispersed states at will
Crocodile — Turns ground to sand and drains moisture from anything he touches
Gaara — Moves sand as an automatic defence without conscious direction
Magneto — Acts on the iron content of rock and soil, which is why he can move terrain at all
Clayface — Reshapes his clay body into tools, weapons and other people
Clayface — Forms weapons and tools directly out of his own clay
Clayface — Absorbed material changes his mass, which is the stated limit on how large he gets
Gaara — Crushes rock into fresh sand when his supply runs out
Gaara — Raises terrain to reshape the battlefield rather than to strike
Crocodile — Raises sandstorms large enough to bury a city
Crocodile — Collapses ground beneath opponents by removing its cohesion
Sand — Travels through earth and rock as easily as through open ground
Sand — Senses movement through the ground at distance
Rasa — Draws raw material from the ground to replenish his supply
Rasa — Compresses earth into projectiles at speed
Toph Beifong — Fights and wins as an underground earthbending champion while blind
Toph Beifong — Bends earth in precise small quantities, not only in bulk
Terra — Raises and hurls landmasses at a scale the Titans cannot counter
Terra — Triggers localised earthquakes rather than throwing rock
Terra — Her control is stated to be limited by her instability rather than by power
Aang — Earthbending requires meeting force head-on, which is why it is hardest for him
Aang — Energybending, learned outside the four elements, is what resolves the finale
Edward Elric — Transmutes stone and metal by clapping, without drawing a circle
Edward Elric — Circle-free transmutation is possible only because he has seen the Truth, at the cost of his arm
Edward Elric — Human transmutation is the one prohibition, and the source of the whole plot
