Gabriel showed complete control over his ability, he was able to turn a pencil he was holding into gold. (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Hidden in the Darkness|Hidden in the Darkness]]'') Gabriel insinuated that he can turn a human into gold, like Bob could. He also was able to transmutate a whole room into gold. (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Nemesis|Nemesis]]'')
[[Bob]] has the ability to change the composition of objects. According to a blurb about him on the [[assignment tracker map]], Bob can turn objects only into gold. The amount of mass he can affect at one time is unknown, though he has turned an adult male named [[Hampton Connolly]] entirely into gold (''[[The Golden Goose]]''). After transmutation, Hampton Connolly was carried out by four men on a stretcher, suggesting his weight may not have been significantly increased. However, it is not known whether only a shell of Hampton's form was left after transformation or whether the gold Hampton was transformed to weighed less than standard gold.

It is not yet known if there are materials Bob cannot transform. So far he has only used it to transform solids, it is unknown if it is possible to affect liquids or gases with this ability.
His control remains unknown though he has become a big gold dealer in London and it has been said that whatever he touches turns to gold. (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/How to Stop an Exploding Van|How to Stop an Exploding Van]]'') He has been shown to be able to turn a [[User:Cockney Heroes/Items/Food Tray|regular sized object]] into gold. (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Ambush from an Outside Source|Ambush From an Outside Source]]'')

Since Bob's power does not automatically affect anything he touches, it must require some concentration to use.

Bob can apparently generate substantial quantities of gold over time, because he implies that his power is a significant source of [[the Company|the Company's]] funding (''[[Four Months Later...]]'').

===[[Sylar]]===
Utilizing control nearly equal to [[Bob]]'s, [[Sylar]] was able to turn a gun to pure gold in a matter of seconds, only minutes after acquiring this ability.

==Notes==
* The name "alchemy" comes from [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]], who used the term to describe [[Bob|Bob's]] power in a [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=11591 CBR Q&A] interview.
* Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=11591 originally held] that Bob could transmute materials into substances other than gold. However, this thinking appears to have been changed. The [[assignment tracker map]] later claimed he could only convert things into gold, and Bob's ability has never been depicted as anything other than changing materials into gold. Also, [[Sylar]] turned a gun into gold while telling [[Elle]] that this was what her father could do.
* The password that [[Elle]] enters into [[Bob]]'s computer in ''[[Powerless]]'' is "MIDAS". In Greek mythology, [[wikipedia:Midas|Midas]] was a king whose greed led the god [[wikipedia:Dionysus|Dionysus]] to curse him with the "ability" to turn everything he touched to gold -- including his own daughter.
* [[Peter]] has been in close proximity to Bob, but has not displayed this ability.
