Psionics involve the use of the mind to alter or command reality, typically through some understanding of a deeper truth about the universe or command over a fundamental law of reality.

It’s pretty cool, but I have trouble thinking of media where it takes a prominent role. The few examples that come to mind are:

Star Wars - The Force Mass Effect - Biotics/Element Zero technology Stellaris - Spiritualist Ethos Warhammer 40k - Psykers/Orks

What are some other examples of psionics in Sci-Fi?

    apocalypses, advanced telekinesis, which allows him to re-order matter and make new materials from it, though he doesnt have telepathy right off the bat, he apparently is able to manipulate telepaths if it is being used against him, and also shield against telepathy.(if you consider his mutant power enhancement bestowal as psionics). EMMa frost, unique diamond form makes her immune to telepathic attacks(depending on the film/show) she also has similar ability to block telepathy/ add a telepathy wall in someones mind. psylocke, has the psi-blade ability, plus her telepathy apparently.

    Chrono-skimming seems to be an advanced version of telepathy, you can project your conciseness into a future or past self. kitty pryde in DOFP, could do this to bishop and wolverine, although she never did to a future self. HERS IS unique because she is using her phase shifting ability to do it.

    AOT, eren(attack titan) was able to chronoskimm into a past self, although its more obscure.
