==About==
==About==
Tracy is one in a set of triplets along with [[Niki Sanders]] and [[Barbara]]. Upon birth, she was granted the synthetic ability of [[freezing]] by [[Dr. Zimmerman]] upon the request of the Company. After discovering her ability, Tracy joined forces with [[Arthur Petrelli]]'s [[Pinehearst Company]] so as to give Nathan the opportunity to become President of the [[United States]] with her at his side. However, after Pinehearst's defeat, Tracy was fired by Nathan and later betrayed as he turned her information over to the US [[President]]. She was then captured by [[Danko]] and imprisoned in Building 26. Tracy was later rescued by her nephew, [[Micah Sanders]], who was forming a rebellion against Nathan and Danko and sacrificed herself to allow him to escape. Tracy resurfaced six weeks later with the murder of four Building 26 agents.

===[[The Second Coming]]===
===[[Season Three]]===
{{season summary|season=Three}}
After hearing about [[Nathan]] on television, Governor [[Robert Malden]] tells Tracy that they may have found whom they're looking for. Tracy playfully reminds him that it's her job to find the person they're looking for. Seeing Nathan on television, she remarks that she likes him.
[[Image:Powers Tracy cold calling.jpg|thumb|left|Tracy attempts to turn herself in for [[Tracy's victims|murder]].]]
Tracy and her boss, [[Governor Malden]], see a report on [[Nathan Petrelli]] and Tracy is assigned to give him the senate seat (which she already anticipated). While going about her job, she is approached by a [[Jim McCann|reporter]] who believes she is actually a woman named [[Niki Sanders]]. Tracy meets with Nathan who also mistakes her for Niki. Tracy gives him her offer and returns to D.C. where she is once again approached by the reporter. He shows her [[Linderman's tape|video footage]] of Niki and Nathan having sex and Tracy, angry, grabs the reporter and he begins to [[freeze]], eventually shattering. Tracy soon travels to New Orleans in order to discover who Niki really is. However, instead of finding Niki, she meets Niki's son, [[Micah]]. The two connect and Micah uses [[Technopathy|his power]] to find Tracy and Niki’s birth certificates. Both women were delivered by Dr Zimmerman.


Tracy travels to meet Dr. Zimmerman, who mistakes her for another woman named [[Barbara]]. He reveals that he "made" her and gave her abilities. Tracy returns to D.C and attempts to kill herself but is saved by Nathan, who [[Flight|catches]] her after she jumps off a bridge. The two bond over their powers and end up sleeping together. After learning that Tracy's powers were given to her, Nathan takes her to [[Angela]] and they both learn that [[the Company]] gave many infants their abilities. Nathan proceeds to take Tracy to [[Mohinder Suresh|Dr. Suresh]] but they end up being drugged and captured by a [[Mohinder's ability|now mutated]] Suresh. Tracy fools Mohinder into holding her hand, and uses her power to attack him and free herself. After learning that [[Arthur Petrelli]] is alive, Nathan and Tracy rush to [[Pinehearst]] to meet with him. Nathan leaves but Tracy stays behind, teaming up with Arthur and Pinehearst. Tracy continues to work with Arthur and eventually builds an army for him. Nathan joins the team and Tracy introduces him to a marine named [[Scott]] who they give the ability of Enhanced Strength to. Following the death of Arthur Petrelli, Tracy attempts to steal the formula but is stopped by [[Hiro Nakamura]] and [[Daphne Millbrook]].
===[[The Butterfly Effect]]===
Tracy makes a suggestion to [[Malden]] for [[Nathan]] to serve as Senator for the state of New York. On the way to her car, a [[DC reporter|reporter]] stalks her with images from [[lasvegasniki.com]]. The reporter informs her that he will make an article about her, but she denies that that is her. However, the reporter's sources claim otherwise, and she makes her getaway.


[[Image:Frr..frr..frezzing.jpg|thumb|right|Tracy executing her "[[Freezing|cold snap]]".]]
When she gets to [[St. Joseph's Hospital of Odessa|his hospital room]], Nathan automatically thinks that Tracy is [[Niki]]. Tracy is confused about this. She offers him the Senate, leaving her phone number. Later, Nathan accepts on the condition that she be on his staff. The reporter returns, this time with the [[Linderman's tape|DVD]] of [[Jessica Sanders|Jessica]] having sex with Nathan at the [[Corinthian Casino|Corinthian]]. She gets so angry at the reporter that her [[freezing]] ability manifests, and she accidentally kills him. She is shocked and runs away.


Two months after the events at Pinehearst, Tracy is attacked in her home by [[Danko's team|government agents]] and is hooded, drugged, forced to wear an orange jumpsuit and placed on board [[Flight 195]]. [[Peter Petrelli]] unknowingly [[Ability replication|replicates]] her ability and freezes a side of the plane in mid flight, causing it to shatter and the plane to crash. Tracy and Peter team up in an attempt to stop Nathan but Peter flies away and Tracy is captured and taken to a secure location in [[Building 26]]. She manages to escape [[Tracy's cell|her cell]] but is recaptured after killing an [[Mark Legget|analyst]]. During [[Danko]]'s investigation on Nathan, Tracy receives a message from [[Rebel]] informing her that help is coming.
===[[One of Us, One of Them]]===
Alone, Tracy [[freezing|freezes]] a rose. Later, [[Nathan Petrelli]] visits her and asks why she did not attend his swearing in. Tracy shows him the [[Linderman's tape|video footage]] of him having sex with [[Jessica]] and asks who [[Niki Sanders]] was. Tracy says that the only information she found on Niki was an address in [[New Orleans]]. When Nathan only asks if she ''really'' is not Niki, Tracy leaves for New Orleans.


Rebel stays true to his word and soon shuts down all the power in Building 26, allowing Tracy to escape. She frees [[Matt Parkman]], Mohinder and Daphne but refuses to go along with them as she sees Daphne's injuries would slow her down. [[Noah Bennet]] manages to track her down and gives her the offer to turn in Rebel. Tracy takes the offer and is soon contacted by Rebel again, this time receiving a train ticket and a meeting place. Tracy is shocked to discover that Rebel is none other than her nephew, Micah. Micah is outraged to learn that she went along with their plan. The two of them attempt to flee. When agents begin to search the carpark, Tracy asks Micah to "make it rain" and to keep doing what he is doing. She tells him to stay ahead of the ice and steps out into the open, making herself visible to all the agents. As Micah runs, and Tracy becomes surrounded, she makes the ultimate sacrifice for him, completely freezing herself and everything around her in a huge "cold snap". Danko then approaches her frozen body and shoots it, reducing it to shards and supposedly killing her.
Arriving at [[the Dawsons' home]], she finds a coffin containing Niki's body. Shocked and saddened by her death, she tries to leave but is confronted by [[Micah]], who quickly recognizes that she is not his mother. Micah reveals that Niki had [[super strength]] and he the [[power]] of [[technopathy|talking to machines]], and then asks her if she has a power--leaving Tracy startled. Micah cross-references Tracy and Niki's information on [[Micah's computer|his computer]] and finds that they were both born in the same hospital on [[August 24, 1974|the same day]] and delivered by the same [[Dr. Zimmerman|doctor]].


Tracy survives her shooting and meets up with Micah, convincing him to give her names of former Building 26 agents. Six weeks after Building 26 is shut down, [[Agent Harper]] returns home to find his kitchen overflowing with water. Tracy materializes from the water, reaches out to him and tells him that he is number four.
Tracy then leaves Micah (while spiritually "saying goodbye" to Niki) and visits Dr. Zimmerman, who at first mistakes her for a woman named [[Barbara]]. Tracy says he is mistaken and tells him her name, and he comes to the realization that she is "the one from [[Beverly Hills]]". When Tracy questions him on how he knew she was from Beverly Hills he claims that he "created" her.


===[[I Am Become Death]]===
===[[Season Four]]===
{{season summary|season=Four}}
[[Zimmerman]] reveals to Tracy that she was one of triplets, [[Niki]], herself, and [[Barbara]], and he gave each of them [[abilities]] through [[formula|genetic manipulation]]. Tracy, overcome with rage, almost uses her [[freezing]] ability to kill Zimmerman, but is able to calm down before causing any harm.
{{sectstub}}

Afraid of her [[ability]] and guilt-ridden over the death of [[Jim McCann|the reporter]], Tracy tries to turn herself into the police. However, her emotional state brings her power forth and she freezes the telephone. Later, Tracy turns in her resignation to [[Nathan]] and she then goes to the [[Francis Scott Key Bridge]] and attempts [[suicide]]. However, Nathan, warned of her intentions beforehand, [[flies]] Tracy to safety. Tracy then reveals her power to Nathan and they share a kiss.

===[[Angels and Monsters]]===
After spending the night with [[Nathan]], Tracy goes to the [[Primatech]] [[Primatech Research|facility]] with [[Nathan]] to visit his mother and [[Company]] leader, [[Angela Petrelli]]. Tracy explains to Angela that [[Dr. Zimmerman]] gave Tracy her [[ability]] to [[freezing|freeze objects]] and that she is a triplet.

Angela explains that Zimmerman was a Company scientist and that it was under their orders that Tracy be [[synthetic]]ally injected with her ability, and also that [[flying|Nathan's power]] was also synthetic. Angela tells Tracy that the process for [[formula|synthetically giving powers]] cannot be reversed. After Tracy and Nathan head out to contact Doctor [[Mohinder Suresh]], Angela has a [[precognitive dream]] in which Tracy, along with her two sons Nathan and [[Peter]], is lying dead on the floor.

===[[Dying of the Light]]===
[[Nathan]] and Tracy arrive at [[Mohinder's lab]], and [[Mohinder Suresh]] also mistakenly identifies Tracy as [[Niki Sanders]]. Tracy then reveals her [[freezing]] power and the two inform Suresh that their [[abilities]] were [[synthetic]]ally given to them by [[Dr. Zimmerman]]. Mohinder is stunned by this, and injects Tracy and Nathan with a drug that knocks them out. He then straps them to tables in his hive.

[[Daphne]] discovers them while attempting to recruit Mohinder for the [[Pinehearst Company]], and escapes the lab using her [[super speed]]. After awaking from the drug, Tracy attempts to reason with Mohinder and then uses her freezing power to subdue Mohinder and escape from her bonds. She releases Nathan, and Mohinder recovers and uses [[Mohinder's ability|his ability]] to prevent them from escaping.

===[[Eris Quod Sum]]===
After [[Mohinder]] escapes with [[Maya]], Tracy waits with [[Nathan]] until the [[Company]] agents arrive. While waiting, Tracy attempts to free [[Mark Spatney]] from his [[cocoon]], and the terrified man attempts to choke her to death. Fortunately, Tracy is saved by Company Agent [[Noah Bennet]]. Tracy and Nathan tell Bennet about their encounter, and also meet [[Meredith Gordon]], the mother of [[Claire Bennet|Nathan's illegitimate daughter]].

Tracy is confronted by Meredith, warning her of his track record. Tracy states that she and Nathan are not together. Later, when the name [[Pinehearst]] is brought up when she meets [[Peter]] and [[Claire]], Tracy recognizes it as the bio-tech firm. Tracy and Nathan then plan on journeying to Pinehearst to confront Arthur Petrelli.

===[[It's Coming]]===
Tracy and [[Nathan]] then go to [[Pinehearst]] and confront [[Arthur Petrelli]]. After Nathan's confrontation with his dad, he informs Tracy that he will be going to visit [[Angela Petrelli|his mother]]. Tracy stays behind to talk with Arthur against Nathan's knowledge. He asks her whether she wants him to take away her [[power]], and she says she is beginning to get used to it.

Tracy then offers her allegiance to Arthur and Pinehearst so as to get Nathan in the [[White House]]. Tracy says that she can get Nathan on [[Arthur's team|Arthur's side]], but in return he must help her sometime in the future. Arthur agrees, and Tracy is present as Arthur [[precognition|draws]] the upcoming [[eclipse]].

===[[The Eclipse, Part 1]]===
In [[Angela]]'s office at [[Primatech|Primatech Research]], Tracy looks at a picture of the Petrelli family as she discusses [[Nathan]] with [[Arthur]]. Once she tells him that Nathan has strayed, running off to find [[the Haitian]], Arthur muses that it's a good plan. By Arthur's tone of voice, Tracy is seriously concerned for Nathan's life and refuses to follow his orders, reminding him of their deal; Tracy puts Nathan on his father's side while Arthur keeps Tracy out of harm's way. Arthur quickly nullifies her refusal by saying that without his help, Nathan won't get to the White House with Tracy. Tracy realizes that she is stuck with following Arthur's commands for the moment. She is ordered to go to Parris Island and use her connections to round up an army.

At that point, Tracy realizes she is being watched and turns to find Angela. Tracy hastily hangs up the phone and comes up with an excuse, saying it's a call from Washington. Angela excuses her politely but smugly has an idea what she's up to.

===[[Our Father]]===
Tracy returns to [[Pinehearst]] after recruiting [[Arthur's soldiers|several Marines]], one of them [[Scott]]. When [[Nathan]] arrives, he walks in on a discussion between [[Arthur Petrelli]] and Tracy. Nathan is angered at Tracy's betrayal, but she claims that she was only doing her job by helping Nathan. Tracy is delighted to learn that in her absence Nathan had pledged himself to the company. Tracy remarks that though Arthur Petrelli has crossed some lines, his vision is right and that to [[synthetic]]ally give [[abilities]] to those who can do good with them is the future. She then shows Nathan her recruited marines, claiming that they are the future.

Once the [[formula]] is perfected, Tracy, Nathan, and Arthur Petrelli bring it to [[Pinehearst]]'s doctor, [[Mohinder Suresh]]. Tracy requests that fifty doses be made for the marines, though Nathan suggests that they try it only on one first. Tracy agrees, and they inject the formula into [[Scott]]. Almost instantly Scott demonstrates his ability of [[super strength]].

===[[Dual]]===
After [[Nathan]] goes to check on [[Arthur Petrelli]] and never returns, Tracy sends [[Scott]] out to find him, though Scott is soon killed by [[Knox]]. Tracy tries to stop [[Peter]], [[Flint]], and [[Knox]] from trying to destroy [[the formula]]. She manages to catch Knox by surprise as he is about to kill [[Nathan]], and [[Freezing|kills him]]. Tracy then tries to convince Nathan that they can get away and deny involvement in all of this and use the formula to start over, but Nathan refuses. Tracy insists that she is being a realist and doing her job, and so Nathan fires her.

Tracy freezes open [[Arthur]]'s safe, but is confronted by [[Hiro]] and [[Daphne]] who [[Super speed|arrive]] to take it from her. Tracy brushes them off and [[Pikachu|insults Hiro]], causing him to [[punch]] her in the face and steal the document of the formula from her. Tracy leaves [[Pinehearst]] before it's [[pyrokinesis|destroyed]] by Flint, and later picks up a [[the formula|cured]] [[Mohinder]] on the highway and the two drive off together.

Three weeks later, Nathan explains to [[the President]] about [[evolved humans]], showing him [[Nathan's files|numerous files and records]], one of which is on Tracy.

===[[Graphic Novel:Stuck in the Middle]]===
Tracy and [[Nathan]] argue about their upcoming injection session - she wants to inform the marines what they're signing up for, whilst Nathan doesn't. Nathan dismisses Tracy and she claims that they're changing their DNA, while Nathan states they are making them better.

===[[Graphic Novel:What We Have Wrought]]===
Tracy drives [[Tracy's cars|her car]], and [[Mohinder]] sits in the passenger seat. She asks Mohinder if he can recreate the [[catalyst|catalyzed]] [[formula]]. When Mohinder asks why he would do that, Tracy retorts that it is not important and the real question is if he can. Mohinder says that without a sample to isolate the catalyst, all he can do is create [[Mohinder's ability|monsters like himself]].

When Tracy asks him what if he had a sample to work with, Mohinder asks where the sample would come from. Tracy lifts her skirt to reveal a vial of the formula, and says that this vial is probably the last in existence. She also points out that despite their faults, [[Arthur]] and [[Nathan]] were right: giving abilities to everyone in the world is the only way to save it. Tracy asks Mohinder to consider being a "[[hero]]", and further tries to lure him into the plan, saying that Mohinder will be recognized as the greatest man on earth. As Mohinder is about to give in, he snatches the formula from Tracy's hands and bails out of the car.

===[[A Clear and Present Danger]]===
In the two months following the catastrophe at Pinehearst, Tracy has gone back to Washington and is once again working as Malden's aide. All contact to the world she had recently been exposed to has been cut, including her relationship with Nathan Petrelli.

Tracy comes home to find a window in her house open. Malden calls and Tracy, ignoring the window, informs him how Nathan Petrelli has received a lot of press in the last few weeks. After ending the conversation, Tracy finds a black-clad soldier in her home. She attempts to freeze him but somehow she is not able to penetrate his suit, and she is thrown onto the floor in her living room. She tells the men that she will not beg, and the leader of the group, [[Danko]], shoots her in the chest with a tranquilizer. Danko then contacts Nathan and informs him that 'the first one' has been captured.

Tracy is drugged and placed in an orange jumpsuit and put on a transport plane by Nathan to be taken to a holding facility with other prisoners including Hiro Nakamura, Mohinder Suresh, and Peter Petrelli. Claire Bennet gets onto the plane and pulls out the drug shunts of Tracy and several of the others. Peter is able to free himself with Mohinder's [[Enhanced strength|ability]] but then accidentally absorbs Tracy's ability. He loses control of it and freezes a hole in the side of the plane, sending it crashing down.

===[[Trust and Blood]]===
Tracy survives the plane crash along with most of the other prisoners and takes refuge in the forest. She encounters Peter Petrelli, who argues that Tracy should come with him. Tracy, however, is unsure, but Peter convinces her. Together, the two of them flee the scene and Peter persuades Tracy to set their sights on Nathan and capture him. They could then use him as a bargaining chip to end this genocide. With Tracy serving as a distraction, Peter subdues two of the [[Danko's team|Hunter's men]] and Tracy and Peter take their uniforms.

Peter suggests that they return to the crash site to find Nathan, but Tracy suggests a more subtle approach - claiming that she knows Nathan not from their intimate relations, but because they think alike. Peter agrees, and Tracy uses the Hunter's men's cell phone to contact Nathan. Over the phone, she hears the disagreements between Nathan and the Hunter, and then claims that she wants full amnesty from him and that she has Peter with her. Nathan agrees to meet with Tracy and offers her her old life back in exchange for Peter. Tracy insists that Nathan must come alone.

Tracy and Peter plan the exchange and meet with Nathan later that night. Peter tells Tracy to use her power to apprehend Nathan, and she grows nervous about whether or not she can keep from killing him, though Peter has faith in her. When Nathan arrives, Tracy makes her presence known and asks Nathan for her old life back, saying that Peter is waiting somewhere safe. Nathan, however, surprises Tracy by pardoning her for everything, and her allegiance to Peter begins to waver.

Before she can turn sides, Peter bursts out and two snipers - [[Noah Bennet]] and the Hunter - reveal themselves and set their sights on Tracy and Peter. Peter escapes by flying away, but Tracy is left defenseless and is once again captured.

Tracy is taken to Nathan's headquarters, [[Building 26]], where she is drugged and kept in a prison van. She is approached by Nathan, who informs her that there is nothing more he could do for her, and that she should not fight or struggle. Tracy is angered by Nathan's betrayal, claiming that he is one of them. Before Tracy can reveal his secret, she is drugged and silenced.

===[[Episode:Building 26|Building 26]]===

Inside [[Building 26]], Tracy is shackled in a room is lined with heating lamps that hinder her freezing ability. Nathan's men had previously placed her in special gloves, but Tracy had been able to shatter them. She was also the only person that [[The Hunter]] had caught after the [[Flight 195 crash|plane crash]].

Tracy is visited by Nathan and Homeland Security Agent [[Abby Collins]]. Abby knows Tracy as a lobbyist and is horrified to see her in chains. Tracy pleads to be set free, and Abby tells Nathan that what he is doing is torture. She leaves Tracy in her bindings but tells Nathan that she will inform the President and have his operation shut down.

While Tracy waits in the heated cell, she tugs on her chains and finds they are loose. She manages to pull the chains off of the ground and escape. Outside the room, she is surrounded by Nathan's men and grabs [[Mark Leggett|a hostage]]. Nathan tries to distract her, but when the hostage gets free, she freezes him, making his body shatter before Abby's eyes. Tracy is then tasered and placed into her cell once again.

After Abby leaves, promising Nathan the funding he needs, Nathan visits Tracy and tells her she won't get out again. Tracy sneers and says she knows that she was deliberately allowed to escape - the chain was broken and the door was unlocked. Nathan realizes that [[The Hunter]] must have set up the escape attempt. Tracy promises Nathan that she will get away next time, and smiles as Nathan walks off.

===[[Shades of Gray]]===
Tracy is later brought back to the facility, and while she is being escorted down Building 26's hallways, she sees a message from [[Rebel]] claiming that help is coming and for her not to lose hope. Tracy keeps quiet about the message, and is escorted back into her cell.

She is soon approached by Nathan, who attempts to regain her trust. Nathan claims that he has been helping her all along, and has continually given her favors- especially against people such as [[Danko]]. Tracy refuses to believe Nathan, for she not only can't trust him, but she now hates him for what he has done. Nathan accepts this but pleads for her to help him before he is dismissed when Danko walks into Tracy's cell. Danko asks if Nathan has any special interest with Tracy, but he quickly refutes the idea.

Danko asks what Tracy meant by saying that Nathan was one of them, for he is trying to discover Nathan's ability and overthrow him, which Tracy soon realizes. She also realizes that Danko is much more dangerous than Nathan, and that with him in charge, it would no longer be safe for her. Therefore, when Danko asks her if she has any previous relations with Nathan, she informs him that he was bad in bed before denying the fact that he has an ability.

===[[Episode:Cold Snap|Cold Snap]]===
With Nathan removed from command and the capture of those with special abilties being placed under the leadership of [[Danko]], Tracy was to be left comatose on a bed. However, [[Rebel]] used his connections to unlock Tracy's cell door and turn off the heaters in her room. Due to this, Tracy was able to use her power to break free of her bind and leave her cell room.

Tracy makes her way throughout Building 26, and runs into the comatose [[Mohinder Suresh]], [[Matt Parkman]], and [[Daphne Millbrook]]. Tracy points out that Daphne, due to her injuries, would only slow them down, but Matt Parkman and Suresh refuse to leave her behind. Tracy is unable to wait and runs directly into a squad of Danko's men, though Matt's ability to control minds allows for the group to escape.

After her escape, Tracy abandons the group and heads out on her own. While in a department store where she changes her clothes, Tracy is confronted by [[Noah Bennet]]. Working for Danko, Bennet strikes up a deal with Tracy. He points out that Rebel seems to have a special interest in her, and that if she helps lead him to Rebel, she would be free to go about her life. Tracy, however reluctant, agrees to help turn over Rebel in order to get her old life back.

While walking the streets of New York, Tracy is contacted via an ATM by Rebel and given a meeting place at a train station. After Tracy arrives at the train station, she is surprised to discover a waiting Micah Sanders. Micah reveals himself to be Rebel, and that he was trying to help her and others like them to escape the government.

Tracy is horrified that she had led Danko's men to her own nephew, and implores Micah to believe she did not intend to harm him. She also makes a point to tell him that she is not his mother, and he then points out that his mother was an American hero. Tracy and Micah make their way to the garage, where they are cornered by Danko's men. Tracy orders Micah to leave her and turn on the sprinklers with his powers, saying it is ok and that he should stay ahead of the ice. As Micah flees, Tracy confronts Danko's men, and uses the water from the sprinklers to freeze the entire garage, including all of Danko's men and herself.

Micah is able to flee the scene while Tracy's frozen body is observed by Noah Bennet and Danko. Noah comments on how Tracy had told him she had been building up a cold snap, and Danko approaches her with his gun and shoots her- shattering her frozen body. Tracy's body sinks and is collected through a drain, and her right eye blinks and sheds a tear, foreshadowing her return.

===[[An Invisible Thread]]===
Six weeks after the fall of Building 26 and Danko's operation against those with special abilities, former [[Building 26]] [[Danko's team|agent]] [[Kent Harper]], walks into his apartment. He is surprised and confused as to why his faucet is on and that the water had overflowed onto his kitchen floor. Surprisingly, the water begins to move from the kitchen to the parlor floor, where it begins to take shape. The water materializes together and reforms into Tracy's naked body. Tracy smiles at him and claims he's "number four" before holding her hand out in his direction and supposedly killing him.

Later, [[Sylar]]/[[Nathan]] reads about Harper's death in the newspaper, marking him as the fourth "mysterious drowning".

===[[Graphic Novel:The Natural Order of Things]]===
Tracy is seen freezing a mirror and smiling.

On [[Timeline:April 2007-December 2014#September 6, 2011|September 6, 2011]], [[Claire]] is disappointed that Tracy has not gone public with [[freezing|her ability]] and is remaining underground.
In [[Operation Bad Blood#Chapter 202|chapter 2 of Operation Bad Blood]] in the iStory, the [[Pinehearst]] contracted player passes [[Nathan Petrelli|Senator Petrelli]] and Tracy Strauss as they leave [[Pinehearst Headquarters]] together and head towards the parking lot. Later, the same player encounters her again when the player enters an elevator to head up to [[Priscilla's office]]. The elevator momentarily loses power, but Tracy plays it cool and comments that they must have gotten their wires crossed.

In [[Operation Bad Blood#Chapter 205|chapter 5 of Operation Bad Blood]] in the iStory, Tracy stares at the Pinehearst contracted player in the warehouse at Pinehearst Headquarters that contains a [[Arthur's soldiers|platoon of military soldiers]].

Despite having been frozen solid and shattered, Tracy was still able to move a single eyelid and shed a tear (''[[Cold Snap]]''). In fact, this event seemed to have transformed her ability or make it evolve and change somehow into something similar to [[water mimicry]]. Since she was shot, she has been able to physically become water, as well as generate water outwardly from her body. It is not yet known if this is due to a new power, or an evolution of her [[freezing|initial ability]]. It appears that she is not able to make her clothes become liquid, and is rendered nude when she transforms. When cut by [[Edgar]], parts of Tracy's body turned into water and she was not hurt although she said this was instinctual, not on purpose. Tracy also explained that after she shattered, she melted, and her shattered pieces came back together and reformed with her wanting vengeance (''[[Orientation]]'').

Tracy Strauss is a former political advisor to New York Governor Robert Malden. She is an evolved human with the ability to freeze things. After joining forces with Arthur Petrelli's Pinehearst group to give people abilities, Tracy's ability was revealed to the American President by Nathan Petrelli. Tracy was captured by Danko and taken to Building 26 before being rescued by Micah Sanders. After sacrificing her own life, Tracy's powers evolved and she went on a killing spree. She soon saw the error of her ways and began seeking redemption by using her old life to help people.

About

Tracy is one in a set of triplets along with Niki Sanders and Barbara. Upon birth, she was granted the synthetic ability of freezing by Dr. Zimmerman upon the request of the Company. After discovering her ability, Tracy joined forces with Arthur Petrelli's Pinehearst Company so as to give Nathan the opportunity to become President of the United States with her at his side. However, after Pinehearst's defeat, Tracy was fired by Nathan and later betrayed as he turned her information over to the US President. She was then captured by Danko and imprisoned in Building 26. Tracy was later rescued by her nephew, Micah Sanders, who was forming a rebellion against Nathan and Danko, and sacrificed herself to allow him to escape. Tracy resurfaced later with the murder of four Building 26 agents.

Character History

Season Three

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Tracy Strauss: Season Three History.

Tracy attempts to turn herself in for murder.

Tracy and her boss, Governor Malden, see a report on Nathan Petrelli and Tracy is assigned to give him the senate seat (which she already anticipated). While going about her job, she is approached by a reporter who believes she is actually a woman named Niki Sanders. Tracy meets with Nathan who also mistakes her for Niki. Tracy gives him her offer and returns to D.C. where she is once again approached by the reporter. He shows her video footage of Niki and Nathan having sex and Tracy, angry, grabs the reporter and he begins to freeze, eventually shattering. Tracy soon travels to New Orleans in order to discover who Niki really is. However, instead of finding Niki, she meets Niki's son, Micah. The two connect and Micah uses his power to find Tracy and Niki’s birth certificates. Both women were delivered by Dr Zimmerman.

Tracy travels to meet Dr. Zimmerman, who mistakes her for another woman named Barbara. He reveals that he "made" her and gave her abilities. Tracy returns to D.C and attempts to kill herself but is saved by Nathan, who catches her after she jumps off a bridge. The two bond over their powers and end up sleeping together. After learning that Tracy's powers were given to her, Nathan takes her to Angela and they both learn that the Company gave many infants their abilities. Nathan proceeds to take Tracy to Dr. Suresh but they end up being drugged and captured by a now mutated Suresh. Tracy fools Mohinder into holding her hand, and uses her power to attack him and free herself. After learning that Arthur Petrelli is alive, Nathan and Tracy rush to Pinehearst to meet with him. Nathan leaves but Tracy stays behind, teaming up with Arthur and Pinehearst. Tracy continues to work with Arthur and eventually builds an army for him. Nathan joins the team and Tracy introduces him to a marine named Scott who they give the ability of Enhanced Strength to. Following the death of Arthur Petrelli, Tracy attempts to steal the formula but is stopped by Hiro Nakamura and Daphne Millbrook.

Tracy executing her "cold snap".

Two months after the events at Pinehearst, Tracy is attacked in her home by government agents and is hooded, drugged, forced to wear an orange jumpsuit and placed on board Flight 195. Peter Petrelli unknowingly replicates her ability and freezes a side of the plane in mid flight, causing it to shatter and the plane to crash. Tracy and Peter team up in an attempt to stop Nathan but Peter flies away and Tracy is captured and taken to a secure location in Building 26. She manages to escape her cell but is recaptured after killing an analyst. During Danko's investigation on Nathan, Tracy receives a message from Rebel informing her that help is coming.

Rebel stays true to his word and soon shuts down all the power in Building 26, allowing Tracy to escape. She frees Matt Parkman, Mohinder and Daphne but refuses to go along with them as she sees Daphne's injuries would slow her down. Noah Bennet manages to track her down and gives her the offer to turn in Rebel. Tracy takes the offer and is soon contacted by Rebel again, this time receiving a train ticket and a meeting place. Tracy is shocked to discover that Rebel is none other than her nephew, Micah. Micah is outraged to learn that she went along with their plan. The two of them attempt to flee. When agents begin to search the carpark, Tracy asks Micah to "make it rain" and to keep doing what he is doing. She tells him to stay ahead of the ice and steps out into the open, making herself visible to all the agents. As Micah runs, and Tracy becomes surrounded, she makes the ultimate sacrifice for him, completely freezing herself and everything around her in a huge "cold snap". Danko then approaches her frozen body and shoots it, reducing it to shards and supposedly killing her.

Tracy survives her shooting and meets up with Micah, convincing him to give her names of former Building 26 agents. Six weeks after Building 26 is shut down, Agent Harper returns home to find his kitchen overflowing with water. Tracy materializes from the water, reaches out to him and tells him that he is number four.

Heroes Evolutions

Save the Cheerleader, Destroy the World

On September 6, 2011, Claire is disappointed that Tracy has not gone public with her ability and is remaining underground.

Evolved Human Abilities

Tracy possesses the ability to freeze objects which allows her to reduce the temperature of matter at will. She is capable of freezing human beings as well as inanimate objects including a rose, a telephone, and glass.

When using her power, Tracy appears to absorb the heat from an individual instead of emitting cold. Also, while she is able to create sub-zero temperatures, Tracy herself retains body heat.

Despite having been frozen solid and shattered, Tracy was still able to move a single eyelid and shed a tear (Cold Snap). In fact, this event seemed to have transformed her ability or make it evolve and change somehow into something similar to water mimicry. Since she was shot, she has been able to physically become water, as well as generate water outwardly from her body. It is not yet known if this is due to a new power, or an evolution of her initial ability. It appears that she is not able to make her clothes become liquid, and is rendered nude when she transforms. When cut by Edgar, parts of Tracy's body turned into water and she was not hurt although she said this was instinctual, not on purpose. Tracy also explained that after she shattered, she melted, and her shattered pieces came back together and reformed with her wanting vengeance (Orientation).
