OK so far these past two seasons we've seen Steven summon a shield, heal things with spit, make an army of watermelons that look like him, manipulate his age try to shape shift into a cat (but instead see him grow a bunch of cats all over his body), form a bubble barrier and bubble gems. Do you think he has any more hidden abilities, if so what do you suppose they are?

I agree with you (except in the Gem Destabilizer, that was certainly because of his human half). I believe that in fact he generates waves of energy of different nature. Electromagnetic is the most noticeable effect, as the technology we use is very sensible to EMPs.
Yes I do agree that the Gem-Destabiliser immunity is due to his organics, although I wouldn't be surprised if Rose Quartz is slightly more resistant to these type of attacks due to her ability to natural produce variants of these energy waves

One not-EM example is the time when he is confronted by the Water Clones. That was certainly an ultrasound wave that disrupted the cohesion of the H2O molecules.

Thinking about it... I don't think Steven and Rose have multiple types of "waves" but only 1, being the ability to emit a Resonance; In definition Resonance causes a variant effects examples being "The power to evoke enduring images, memories, and emotions" and another example being "The condition in which an electric circuit or device produces the largest possible response to an applied oscillating signal." (Oxford Dictionary) The use of resonance can explain how be broke down Lapis's constructs, how the TV when to static (supported by the definition, how easily his shield and bubble broke down Pearls holograms... The Gem Destabilisers could support this because we don't entirely know how they work but they could work via resonance in how they break down the Gems form, just like Steven breaks down the holograms and water clones... And I know it's Stevens Human half that makes him immune to the destabilisers but... It could be his ability to create a resonance which allows him to vibrate himself to harmonise and cancel out the destablisers attempt to alter his forms structure... Maybe?

I think that they generate some kind of generic waves that behave differently in each occasion, or that cause different reactions depending on the nature of the target. Your definition of Resonance seems to suit what I think. And maybe it has to do with his organic half!!! As he is not comprised of pure gem projection, which would disrupt inmediately without time to create a counterwave, he can use his human body as both a resistance to the Destabilizing wave and a medium in which the resonance generated by his gem half can manifest and cancel the other.

i think they do, as control of their powers is based upon emotional clarity.

But given that this is the case, why didnt pearl or garnet mention such resonance ability to steven, especially given the potential effects of destablizing resonance against their numerous gem opponents. They would recognize such as an effective medium, so why wouldnt they try and utilize this?

Maybe they didn't notice or Rose didn't tell them. The gems do have a history of keeping info from him and Amethstyst, Steven especially, so maybe rose might've told Pearl but Pearl didn't tell Steven.

I'd argue Rose had a weaker version of what Steven could do I mean Roses is a full gem and so the fact she's got a full light form could limit what she can do because otherwise she'd run a risk of destabilising herself whereas Steven being partially organic means he doesn't run this risk well as much as Roses did

Good point.
