== Mental Manipulation? ==

It has not been officially stated that Damien possesses Mental Manipulation, but I think it would be logical. He used physical contact to enter Gabriel's mind (much like the Haitian), and, as the name suggests, manipulated Sylar's mind. As we've seen for many abilities (healing touch, space-time manipulation, telepathy, etc), ability development occurs in nearly every power, with the exception of most biological abilities. Mental Manipulation could be used for more than cerebral dampening (the Haitian can search through their memories).
I'm not saying that this is definitely the same ability, but it's possible. What do you guys think?

* Same problem was with Anna Korolenko's ability: like Haitian, she can erase memories and knock people out, but she hasn't displayed the power negating aspect. Neither has Damien, so his ability shoudn't be MM. Also, the Haitian claims he cannot restore memories. {{User:Altes/Signature}}
:So far, we are shown that he could only bring back forgotten memories and based on what Samuel said to Sylar, "''In his hands, your true memories will be returned''". Shouldn't a consensus be made for this?--{{User:NiveKJ13/sig1}} 06:28, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
::The Hatian said he couldn't restore memories that he erased. Right before his father tried killing him, he brought back many of the memories his father had naturaly forgotten. He said it was like pulling jewels and gemstones out of a muddy field or something. So yes, MM has restore memories in some fashion. Since Sylar's murders were never erased by the hatian, someone with MM could have potentialy brought them back to im, so damein might have MM.--[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]] 01:59, 29 October 2009 (EDT)
** Those weren't exactly forgotten memories, those were memories that Guillame had, but he didn't remember he had them because he hadn't thought of them in quite a while. I'd say that what the Haitian did in that occasion is similar to what Matt did to Noah in Season Three, when he, Peter and Mohinder kidnapped Noah.

== Consensus ==
=== Memory Restoration ===
# Based on the desctiption--{{User:NiveKJ13/sig1}} 06:33, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
# Nicely describes the ability. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 06:37, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
# Nice and simple. --[[User:NuparuMahnika|<font color="Chocolate">'''''NuparuMah'''''</font>]][[User Talk:NuparuMahnika|<font color="Chocolate"><u>'''nika'''</u></font>]] 08:50, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
# Perfect.--[[User:Ratclaws|Ratclaws]] 09:28, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
# Unless something better comes up. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 10:55, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
#Agree with the above. (presently). --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 12:49, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
#Sounds fine for now -- {{User:Jenx222/sig}} 13:09, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
#Damien restored Sylar's memories, and "returning" sounds like memories were in Damien's possession, and he gave them back. {{User:Altes/Signature}}
#Nothing to say that hasn't already been said. {{User:Psilaq Remake/sig}} 16:41, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
#Sounds good to me, unless something is clarified that majorly changes the definition of his power. --[[User:V2Blast|V2Blast]] 00:20, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
#I think this is a good name...until/unless we learn more. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:27, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
#I think this is the (almost) perfect name for Damien's ability. Sounds correct, too! --[[User:Hiroman|Hiroman]] 16:06, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
*I don't like this name. The memories were NOT restored, they were projected onto the screens. They appeared alien to Sylar. Sylar still isn't Sylar otherwise he wouldn't have rejected them they way he did. This name is misleading. [[User:Getbrett|Getbrett]] 02:05, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
*Actually they are restored, Sylar states, ''"All those murders. All those memories in my mind but I cannot believe that they're mine."'' The reason he rejects them is because he doesn't understand ''why'' he killed them. He hasn't experienced the hunger. Yet. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 06:06, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
**Sylar cleared this up definitively in the latest episode: he does not recall the memories directly, they were not restored, he still has Nathan's memories innately. [[User:Getbrett|Getbrett]] 06:22, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
***Agreed, Sylar is still only remembering Nathan's memories. Restoration is in no way correct. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 10:48, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
**** Restoration ''is'' correct, the reason Sylar still thinks he's Nathan because Matt brainwashed him. If Sylar were just "Haitinized", he'd assume his real identity. {{User:Altes/Signature}}

=== Memory Projection ===
1. This phrase, "project" is actually used on this ability's page already. So why not call it memory projection as we have seen the memories are in fact projected and "re-lived". {{user:AgentJordan/Sig}}

2. Simply calling it memory restoration does not fully describe the effects of Damien's ability. He did not even actually restore Sylar's memories (as in, make Sylar remember them), as much as take what Sylar did not remember and project it onto a screen so he could see it. In the House of Mirrors he was terrified of what he saw, not what he remembered. I think this name is better. [[User:Swmystery|Swm]] 13:49, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

I don't oppose it, out of the current three names, the only one I don't like is memory returning. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 13:51, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

I agree too, the name was appropriate on what we see when he used his ability --[[User:Darkfiremaster13|Darkfiremaster13]] 05:15, 27 October 2009 (EDT)

===Memory Returning ===

===Memory Restoration Projection===

Why don't combined the two names, projection is a big part of the ability but this can be like Matt's telepathy where he can project an image to a person head. Restoration like Linderman to show he is healing it.[[User:50000JH/signature]]
*This name irks me, it's too long, and considering we have seen little about this ability, it might impose limits that the ability doesn't actually have. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 11:25, 25 October 2009 (EDT)
** Agree on both accounts. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 14:40, 25 October 2009 (EDT)

== another 2 ==

Why when we sturck on naming an ability we put, name's ability, unless we get another 1 with the same ability and if they do have it in a different form and start to debate if it is. Wasn't meant to be rude. [[User:50000JH/signature]]

== It will be more ==

I think his ability is much more than this. Samuel says he has a powerful ability, and restoring memories doesn't seem that powerful, it's just accessing a part of the brain that a person cannot themselves. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 14:41, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
*Going on that line, I'd say he might be able to jumpstart abilities, if a person has them, by accessing the part of the brain that controls it. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 14:54, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
**Were the memories that Sylar saw in the hall of mirrors not ones that aren't even in his head right now but rather are in Matt Parkman's head with the part of Sylar that is in him? - Colin
***The memories are clearly in Sylar's body, otherwise Damien wouldn't have been able to make them appear in the mirrors. I wonder why no memory belonging to Nathan appeared, Sylar got some of those with clairsentience for weeks. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 17:46, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
****I think Damien can pinpoint a memory that he wanted to show, Samuel wanted the old Sylar back that's why he made him see the memory of Sylar and his victim.--[[User:Darkfiremaster13|Darkfiremaster13]] 05:19, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
*Maybe it doesn't bring back/display memories that were put in him by other means - only his "true memories", as Samuel said. --[[User:V2Blast|V2Blast]] 00:19, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
** He should've seen Nathan's death then, and if he thinks this is who he is, he should've wondered how the man who looks like him killed the one who he thinks himself to be. {{User:Altes/Signature}}
***Sylar ran out of the House of Mirrors while the projections were still going on, so it's likely he would have seen Nathan's murder had he stayed. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 10:47, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
****Possibly, but it's still speculation. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 20:33, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
In the first section there is a mention of it being Mental Manipulation, we know it can't be that as The Haitin can't restore memories. In this section Mc hammark has mention that Samual has said it a powerful ability and restoring memories is not that powerful. what if is ability is the opposite to The Haitin's? since he is more powerful than Peter, Sylar and Arthur. If he can unblock the power of the Haitin blocking abilities? Then what about anti-mental manipulation.[50000JH 12:18, 2 November 2009 (EST)]
*Nothing suggests that, no point in discussing things based on what could be. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 12:34, 2 November 2009 (EST)

== Name Change ==
As much as I hate "person's" abilities, was this name change agreed on?--[[User:Ratclaws|Ratclaws]] 09:13, 6 November 2009 (EST)
*I'm not sure if a consensus was actually reached but looking at it above it seems like memory restoration was the favourite, not sure if it should have been moved yet though - {{User:Jenx222/sig2}} 09:17, 6 November 2009 (EST)
** My thought was Memory Projection since he only seemed to be ''projecting'' Sylar's memories.--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] 11:14, 6 November 2009 (EST)
*** He touched Sylar, and he saw his past in the mirrors. Seems to me like Sylar himself projected his memories. But if the memories didn't return, there would be nothing to project... {{User:Altes/Signature}}
**** Sylar doesn't ''have'' that sort of ability. I think he was just projecting what was in Sylar's mind the whole time. Hence Memory Projection.--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] 11:43, 6 November 2009 (EST)
