Ted had limited control over his ability to emit radiation. When agitated, he appeared to emit radiation unintentionally. This radiation was harmful to people in his vicinity. His control did improve with practice, and he appeared to be able to emit radiation on purpose, but he apparently couldn't consistently prevent himself from emitting radiation, especially if angry or injured.

Ted could apparently emit a broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, although he had only a limited understanding of the physics involved. He could not choose specifically whether to emit microwaves or gamma rays, but he could choose whether to radiate "hot" energy or "bright" energy. He also appeared to be able to emit neutron radiation, as some objects that have been exposed to him have become radioactive.

At close range, Ted could produce enough radiation to bring a glass of water to a boil or melt a brass door lock in just a few seconds. His uncontrolled emissions set fire to common construction materials from several meters away. He was also capable of emitting an electromagnetic pulse strong enough to disable electronics throughout a [[Primatech Paper|large building]]. An uncontrolled release of radiation can generate a massive explosion similar to that of a nuclear bomb. In an [[Explosion future|alternate timeline]], such an explosion occurred in [[Kirby Plaza]] and was powerful enough to destroy most of the skyscrapers in Midtown Manhattan.

Ted appeared to be [[ability immunity|unharmed by his own radioactive emissions]]. He caused the deaths of others (reducing people to skeletal remains) during at least two [[Ted's escapes|escapes]], but never appeared to affect himself. Whether this immunity applies to radiation from other sources is unknown. Additionally, the Company believed that [[clonazepam]] could act as a tranquilizer for Ted. However, despite being injected with it, he still blew up [[The Bennets' home (Odessa)|the Bennets' home]] in a massive explosion (''[[Company Man]]'').

===[[Peter Petrelli]]===

When he absorbed this ability from Ted Sprague in ''[[The Hard Part]]'' after meeting him at Kirby Plaza, he had to intensely concentrate to get this power under control. In ''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'', he even passed out attempting to do so. During his fight with [[Sylar]], he lost control and was on the verge of exploding, but thanks to [[Nathan]], he was flown high enough to explode without causing any significant damage to anyone other than Nathan who suffered severe radiation burns.

Since then, he has shown greater control over this ability. After four months of not using it, he used it to safely incinerate [[Shanti Virus|Strain 138]] without losing control or exploding.

===[[Sylar]]===

After taking this ability from Ted , Sylar stands on the roof of a building, conjuring up radiation on command (''[[Landslide]]''). Sylar has never been seen emitting radiation unintentionally, and conjured plumes of smoke shortly after acquiring the ability, whereas Ted took an extended period of time to do the same.

===[[Sylar (exposed future)|Future Gabriel]]===
Gabriel becomes enraged after his [[Noah Gray|son]] is killed by [[Knox (exposed future)|Knox]]. He channels this ability through his hands when he punches Knox. He begins to lose control of the ability, however, and soon explodes, destroying [[Costa Verde]].

==Notes==
*[[Amid Halebi]] ("The Engineer" from the [[unaired pilot]] and ''[[In His Own Image]]'') has [[:Image:Powers engineer.jpg|this ability]].
* While Ted, Peter, and Sylar have never been harmed by their own radiation emissions, Amid's hands had visible radiation damage, as seen in a scene in the unaired pilot.
* Ted's [[:Image:Ted chart.jpg|medical chart]] from the [[primatechpaper.com#... Folder Contents|old Assignment Tracker]] indicated that the mitochondria in his cells could cause nuclear fusion between [[wikipedia:deuterium|deuterium]] and [[wikipedia:tritium|tritium]] atoms. The words "hook up w/ [[wikipedia:lithium|Li]]" are also scribbled in his chart. The nuclear fusion between deuterium and tritium releases a free neutron, which, in some proposed fusion reactors, could be captured by an atom of [[wikipedia:lithium|lithium]] to produce more tritium.
* Mohinder once said that Peter Petrelli might be dangerous if he encountered an "unstable ability". Induced radioactivity may be such an unstable ability, as everyone who has possessed it has had trouble controlling it at one time or another.

Part 1 and Part 2 of Mary Rose's Origins arc have been released.


New: Cockney Heroes has a new blog, for all the details behind the scenes, or any unanswered questions, just look at the Cockney Chronicle now.


Induced Radioactivity

Gabriel Bishop witnesses Peter Petrelli at Kirby Plaza.
Originally held by: Ted Sprague (deceased)
Absorbed by: Peter Petrelli (lost), Gabriel Bishop (lost, deceased)
Ability to: Emit radiation

Induced Radioactivity is the ability to manipulate the movement of subatomic particles, thus generating and emitting toxic radiation.

Characters

Limits

Gabriel manifested this ability when he was at Kirby Plaza. He implied that he absorbed abilities of every evolved human present at the showdown and said he couldn't control induced radioactivity, which he took from Peter Petrelli. Gabriel's hands glowed bright red, and Elle Bishop zapped him from behind, incapacitating Gabriel and preventing him from exploding.
