'''Ability supercharging''' is the [[ability]] to amplify the abilities of other evolved humans. This ability can also be used as a concussive blast on those without powers. |
|||
==Characters== |
|||
* [[Paulette Hawkins]] had this ability naturally. |
|||
* [[Ando Masahashi]] was granted this ability [[Formula|synthetically]]. |
|||
==Limits== |
|||
Ability supercharging has differing effects based on which ability is supercharged. Displayed effects so far include: |
|||
*[[Plant manipulation]]--[[Brendan Lewis]]'s power is driven so far out of control that he himself is turned into a tree, while also covering the surrounding area with vegetation. (''[[The Kill Squad, Part 3]]'') |
|||
*[[Telepathy]]--[[Matt Parkman]]'s power increases "a thousand times" to the point of involuntarily hearing the thoughts of "every person" in [[New York City]]. (''[[Dual]]'') |
|||
*[[Super speed]]--[[Daphne Millbrook]] becomes able to run faster than light, allowing her to travel through time, just as [[Einstein]] theorized. (see note) (''[[Dual]]'') |
|||
It remains unknown whether or not the user of this ability may amplify his or her own ability, and what the effects would be. It is also unclear whether passive, "automatic" abilities such as [[rapid cell regeneration]] can be amplified. |
|||
===[[Paulette Hawkins]]=== |
|||
Paulette had the ability to amplify the abilities of other evolved humans by touching them. She activated [[Lewis]]'s [[plant manipulation|ability]] against his will, causing him to produce various trees at an astonishing rate (''[[The Kill Squad, Part 3]]'') and was afraid that the supercharge could potentially kill him. When using her ability, Paulette's hands shone in a glowing light. |
|||
===[[Ando Masahashi (exposed future)|Future Ando]]=== |
|||
In a possible future, Ando demonstrated the ability to discharge a powerful point-blank blast which supposedly killed [[Hiro Nakamura (exposed future)|Future Hiro]]. It is not entirely clear whether this is the same power that Ando acquires from the formula in the present or, if so, how it is able to harm Hiro. |
|||
===[[Ando Masahashi]]=== |
|||
[[Ando]] injected himself with the [[formula]] and appeared to shoot red sparks from his hand. He soon determined that these sparks could greatly increase the capabilities of the abilities of other evolved humans, such as [[telepathy]] and [[super speed]]. When Ando touched [[Matt]], Matt's [[telepathy|power]] was increased to the point where he could hear every thought in the city. When Ando used his ability on [[Daphne]], she moved so fast she went a few seconds back in time, long enough to witness the effects of Ando's power on Matt and herself. Daphne and Ando then combined their powers in order to save Hiro, by having Ando super-charge Daphne's powers so as to allow the two to shift themselves 16 years into the past. (''[[Dual]]'') |
|||
Ando has since learned to produce the red sparks at will. (''[[A Clear and Present Danger]]'') |
|||

==Memorable Quotes== |
|||
"''He zapped me and I was able to hear thoughts a thousand times louder, right? And then you zapped Daphne and she could travel a thousand times faster. Your power is like a super charger!''" |
|||
:- [[Matt]] to [[Daphne]] and [[Ando]] ([[Dual]]) |
|||
"''But my power... is worthless.''" |
|||
"''You're a super charger!''" |
|||
"''For other people's power!''" |
|||
:- [[Ando]], [[Hiro]] ([[A Clear and Present Danger]]) |
|||
==Notes== |
|||
* In an [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=19804 interview], writers [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]] explained how Ando's "sidekick juice" ability was chosen because of his role as a "perennial sidekick". They also clarified that in the future, the "red lightning" would have the capability to hurt others, just as [[Ando Masahashi (exposed future)|Future Ando]] used it in ''[[The Second Coming]]''. |
|||
* Einsteins theory of relativity does not actually show this. His second postulate of relativity states that time only moves forward. Time dialation makes the person traveling at speeds close to that of the speed of light experience much less time, therefore dialating time, not contracting it or reversing it. |
