| [[Knox]]'s ability involves a limited form of [[telepathy]]. || None. || {{plus}} There are no significant physical changes in the human body when a person is scared. Knox's ability to detect fear must be limited to the mind and not the body.
{{minus}} On the contrary, there are numerous physical changes in the human body when a person is scared. A change in heartbeat and breathing pattern, sweating, eye movement changes. There are lots of things he could be basing it off. It seems clear he smells fear.
:{{plus}} These factors don't hold true for everyone.
:{{plus}} [[Matt]] and [[Maury]] can hear thoughts, yet those sounds aren't actually real. The "smell" of fear could just be manufactured by Knox's brain.
{{minus}}He seems to smell fear, like a dog can.<br />
:{{plus}} Perhaps his ability to smell fear is a result of his fear-detecting telepathy, which would probably be located in the olfactory part of his brain, causing him to smell things that are intangible and don't actually give off any odors.<br />
:{{note}} Animals such as dogs and horses do have an olfactory sense developed to the point the can smell fear, the human body releases chemicals that these animals can detect.
{{minus}} This would be closer to empathy (sensing emotions) than telepathy (detecting thoughts).

::{{minus}}The more people there are, the stronger he would be.<br />
::{{minus}} It could depend on the situation. Niki has proven to be a somewhat timid individual, so Knox would probably make her scared.
:::{{plus}} Niki was no longer timid after defeating [[Candace Wilmer]].
:::{{note}} If Niki were in trouble, not-so-timid-Jessica would take over and snap Knox like a twig.
:::{{note}}Niki is likely not timid. In ''[[Episode:How to Stop an Exploding Man|How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'', Niki was brave enough to help [[Peter]] against [[Sylar]].
:{{note}} Knox has demonstrated incredible strength with only one scared person near him at the time.
