'''Electromagnetism''' is the ability to create and direct electrical arcs as well as levitate using electromagnetic repulsion. |
|||
==Characters== |
|||
* A [[dying patient]] in a [[New York City hospital (Blackout)|New York City hospital]] has this ability. |
|||
* An [[agent (electromagnetism)|agent]] in a [[Dark Future|possible future]] has this ability. |
|||
* In the [[Timeline:Possible Futures|possible future]], [[Peter Petrelli (future)|Peter Petrelli]] [[Empathic mimicry|absorbs]] this ability from the agent. |
|||
==Limits== |
|||
Users of this power can generate electrical arcs between themselves and other people or objects within a range of at least a few meters. The amount of current that such arcs can carry is not known. Users of the power are not harmed by electrical currents that they create themselves; it is not clear whether this power gives resistance to electrical current from other sources. |
|||
===[[Agent (electromagnetism)|Future DHS Agent]]=== |
|||
The agent who possesses this power can levitate himself at least a few inches above the ground. How high he can levitate and how fast he can propel himself are not known. He can throw electric arcs that incapacitate people they strike. |
|||
===[[dying patient|Teenage Patient]]=== |
|||
The teenage patient releases uncontrolled electrical arcs and electromagnetic pulses at unpredictable intervals. He appears to absorb energy from nearby electrical systems and release it whenever the charge reaches an unspecified threshold. |
|||

==Notes== |
|||
* In a [http://boards.9thwonders.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=58874&view=findpost&p=474329 forum post], writer [[Mark Sable]] called the power that the [[dying patient]] has "electrical energy". It is unclear if the dying patient has any magnetic aspects to his power, but it is clear that the [[agent (electromagnetism)|agent]] with electromagnetism does. |
|||
==See Also== |
|||
* For the similar power of creating and directing electrical arcs, see '''[[Lightning]]'''. |
