He never displayed this ability.

===[[Meredith Gordon]]===
Meredith normally demonstrates her ability by creating a small fire from her fingertips or in the palm of her hand, however she can also create fireballs and directed streams of flame. Heat from her hand can quickly spread along the walls of a shipping container, making them hot enough to burn Claire. Meredith is [[ability immunity|not hurt by the fire she creates]], and she seems to be resistant to other consequences of its use; her flames generated enough heat and consumed enough oxygen from a shipping container to nearly suffocate [[Claire]], but Meredith seemed completely unaffected, not even breaking a sweat (''[[One of Us, One of Them]]''). It is not yet clear whether she would be resistant to flames or heat that she did not create herself.

[[Claude]] claimed that Meredith "exploded" when he and [[Mr. Bennet]] tried to "[[bag and tag]]" her for [[the Company]] (''[[Hell's Angel]]''), indicating that she can produce large amounts of flame from all over her body. The maximum amount of heat and/or flame she can produce is not yet known.

After capturing Meredith, [[Mr. Thompson|Thompson]] was able to prevent her from attacking him by making her wear flame retardant gloves, suggesting Meredith is dependent of her hands to use her ability. Thompson also threatened to place her in an asbestos-lined cell. (''[[Villains]]'')

When Sylar injected her with [[adrenaline]], Meredith's power became increasingly difficult to control; she involuntarily released bursts of flame with increasing frequency, and eventually "exploded" in a fireball that set fire to the [[Primatech Research]] building. (''[[Dual]]'')

===[[Peter Petrelli (explosion future)|Future Peter Petrelli]]===
A Future Peter is able to recall bright red flames at will, using them against Sylar and his [[freezing|icy ability]] (''[[Five Years Gone]]'').

===[[Maarten]]===
[[Maarten]] shows advanced control over his ability, as he is able to conjure large flames and launch them in precise streams over long distances or unleash and manipulate the flames from all across his body. Even though he was momentarily stunned by the [[liquid man|liquid man's]] explosion of water, he was able to quickly recover and resume conjuring flames. (''[[Graphic Novel:Team Building Exercise|Team Building Exercise]])

===[[Flint Gordon]]===
Flint demonstrates advanced control over his ability of pyrokinesis, and will often keep the fires he creates burning just for amusement. Flames that he creates are always blue to blue-ish white, indicating that they are burning at a high temperature that he describes as "extra hot". In the graphic novel [[Graphic novel:Playing with Fire|''Playing with Fire'']], Flint tells Meredith that he manipulates his fire so that it is hotter than hers.

Flint was subdued by [[Mr. Thompson|Thompson]] with the use of flame retardant foam. Flint couldn't use his ability, suggesting he's dependent on his hands to use his [[ability]], much like his sister. Flint is also seen producing jets of flame and throwing fireballs like his sister as well, but Flint is much more reckless with his ability, often creating far bigger flames than his sister does. (''[[Villains]]'').

Flint claims that he can't be burned (''[[Dual]]''), suggesting either that he has some control over flame that he doesn't create himself or that his ability provides him with immunity to high levels of heat and flame from any source.

===[[Peter Petrelli]]===
Peter was able to create flames that are blue, similar to [[Flint]]. He was able to create the flames engulfing his hand, but never further demonstrated this ability.

===[[Iris]]===
Iris has only demonstrated her ability by creating a small fire in the palm of her hand.

===[[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Frederick Davies|Frederick Davies]]===
===[[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Frederick Davies|Frederick Davies]]===
[[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Frederick Davies|Frederick]] has only demonstrated this ability twice, and has never tried to use it excessively. On the first time Frederick released a lot of fire, but it was stopped by Irony (<i>[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Hidden in the Darkness|Hidden in the Darkness]]</i>). The second time he was possessed by Jack, and only released balls of fire, instead of jets as Flint and Meredith do (<i>[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Ambush from an Outside Source|Ambush from an Outside Source]]</i>).

*{{User:Cockney Heroes/Links/see also main}}
* In [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17061 a question and answer session], writers [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]] said that [[Peter Petrelli (explosion future)|Future Peter]] absolutely [[empathic mimicry|absorbed]] [[Meredith Gordon]]'s ability, but this event was never seen.
* Writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite explained the "rule of [[Ted]]" in a [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18343 question and answer session]: "The oven can't be hurt by the heat. So Meredith is [[ability immunity|relatively immune]] to all effects of fire."
* Assuming the color of the flame is [http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/JaneFishler.shtml based on temperature], Flint's flames burn at approximately 1670 K (1400 °C) and Meredith's burn at approximately 1070 K (800 °C).
