Users of this power can generate electricity between themselves and other people or objects. The potential difference of the electrical arcs is not known. Users of the power are [[ability immunity|not usually harmed]] by electrical currents that they create themselves, although they can shock themselves if they attempt to generate arcs under unfavorable circumstances. |

| ⚫ | |||
===[[Agent (electric manipulation)|Future Agent]]=== |
|||
Elle has demonstrated her ability once, firing electricity at a van, which caused an explosion. (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/How to Stop an Exploding Van|How to Stop an Exploding Van]]'') |
|||
The agent can throw electric arcs that incapacitate people they strike. He can also levitate himself at least a few inches above the ground, though how high he can levitate and how fast he can propel himself are not known. Whether his ability to levitate is a function of his electric manipulation or stems from [[ability|another source]] has yet to be determined. |
|||
[[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Gabriel Bishop|Gabriel Bishop]] also mentioned that Elle electrocuted him from behind when he was about to lose control of his powers. (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Volumes/Volume One#Company Men|Company Men]]'') |
|||
===[[Peter Petrelli (explosion future)|Future Peter Petrelli]]=== |
|||
Future Peter [[empathic mimicry|mimicked]] the agent's ability and used it to throw electrical arcs. He did not employ the levitation aspect from the agent. |
|||
===[[User: |
===[[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Derek Simmonds|Derek Simmonds]]=== |
||
When going to ''Cockney Heroes'', Derek had no control over his ability. Every time he used it, he discharged causing him to release it unintentionally (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Hidden in the Darkness|Hidden in the Darkness]], [[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Nemesis|Nemesis]], [[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/How to Stop an Exploding Van|How to Stop an Exploding Van]], [[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Requiem of a Prison Break|Requiem of a Prison Break]]''). However, in the later episodes he started to gain some control over his ability, in the final episode of Volume One Derek managed to produce lightning without overcharging, and has demonstrated this ability since (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Ambush from an Outside Source|Ambush from an Oustide Source]],[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Veni Vidi Expugnavi|Veni Vidi Expugnavi]]''). Derek has shown to be able to control the amount of voltage he lets out, this has shown to be useful when he used his ability like a defibrilator (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/The Wanderer Returns|The Wanderer Returns]]''). |
|||
Elle had extensive control over her power. She was able to adjust the strength and power of the electricity she generates, such as creating a small spark which causes a minor electric shock, a medium-level bolt which stuns or produces concussive force and a powerful surge which can kill. She did not need to use her hands to use her power, as seen when she zapped Peter with her mouth (''[[Four Months Ago...]]'') or when she used her whole body to generate it (''[[Episode:Cautionary Tales|Cautionary Tales]]''). It has been implied that Elle could manipulate existing sources of electricity, causing a major blackout (''[[Episode:Four Months Ago...|Four Months Ago...]]'') and causing the lights inside the Bennet home to fade in out and out and [[Noah|Noah's]] computer to turn on (''[[Eris Quod Sum]]''). Elle was not immune to the electricity she created, and being wet could turn her power against her. Additionally, Elle did not seem to be able to absorb large amounts of electricity, if any at all (''[[Episode:Cautionary Tales|Cautionary Tales]]''). |
|||
===[[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Gabriel Bishop|Gabriel Bishop]]=== |
|||
She could also create ball lightning. After creating it, Elle could immediately release it, charge it for more powerful bursts, or simply use it to intimidate. Elle could even levitate her ball lightning. Elle was able to fire blasts of sheet lightning and ribbon lightning in battle. She was able to hone her finesse for sharpshooting, firing small, pinpoint but powerful lightning bolts that could shatter glass and cause objects to catch fire. (''[[Cautionary Tales]]'') |
|||
Gabriel has shown to have control over this ability and he uses it quite a lot, but has never shown to do anything excessive with this ability, it is to be mentioned that he uses his right arm to fire electricity (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Hidden in the Darkness|Hidden in the Darkness]]'') |
|||
While being attacked by [[Sylar]], Elle released a massive shock wave of electricity from her entire body, which shorted out the power grid on [[Level 5]] of [[Primatech Research]], effectively freeing all the prisoners. It also knocked Sylar unconscious (''[[The Butterfly Effect]]''). After this incident, Elle's control of her power dropped dramatically. She was still able to use her powers, but she had lost her fine control over it, causing herself severe pain from electric shock when she bathed or stood in the rain. (''[[Sum Quod Sum, Part 1]]'') Additionally, she almost caused a plane to crash after accidentally overcharging the plane. (''[[Eris Quod Sum]]'') |
|||
During a tense encounter with Sylar at [[Pinehearst]], Elle was able to produce enough electricity to disintegrate part of Sylar's clothes and severely injure him. After their talk, Elle regained control of her ability. (''[[It's Coming]]'') |
|||
[[Noah]] states that the [[brain]] is not meant to handle the amount of electricity to which Elle was subjected during testing when she was first brought into the Company (''[[Episode:Cautionary Tales|Cautionary Tales]]''). He implied that this is at least in part why [[Elle]] had some psychological issues. |
|||
===[[Peter Petrelli]]=== |
|||
Peter can fire lightning bolts, but has not demonstrated the same degree of control as Elle. The only levels that he has demonstrated is a powerful concussive blast (''[[Four Months Later...]]''), a stun effect (''[[Lizards]]'') and a bolt of electricity strong enough to char flesh (''[[Out of Time]]''). Peter can also control the lightning by making a sphere (''[[Truth & Consequences]]''), or conduct it through a metal object (''[[Powerless]]''). |
|||
As time progressed, Peter learned to wield this ability more effectively. In ''[[Dying of the Light]],'' Peter fires a constant stream of lightning to electrify Sylar. As he enters Pinehearst, Peter summons a sphere of lightning in each hand and is able to sustain both for a few minutes. |
|||
Aside from [[telekinesis]], lightning is Peter's most commonly observed offensive ability. |
|||
===[[Arthur Petrelli]]=== |
|||
After [[Power absorption|stealing]] [[Peter|Peter's]] powers, Arthur demonstrated his new found power by creating and levitating ball lightning on his first try. |
|||
In ''[[Eris Quod Sum]]'', Arthur was seen to be directing short bursts of lightning from his hands at Peter. He appeared confident in his mastery of the ability as he was able to control the blasts to a level that he believed would not kill Peter, though it should be noted that his confidence could have been misplaced: none of the blasts even ''hit'' Peter. |
|||
===[[Sylar]]=== |
|||
After his talk with Elle, Sylar manifests her ability. Unlike with his other abilities, Sylar doesn't have an immediate mastery over this ability, prompting Elle to coach him, after which he is able to aim and shoot properly (''[[It's Coming]]''). Sylar has demonstrated he can fire a continuous stream of lightning, or unleash short bursts (''[[It's Coming]]''). He can also fire a small spark from his finger to shatter objects (''[[The Eclipse, Part 1]]'') He also has enough reflexive control of the ability to take on several soldiers at once and strike them all down in a matter of seconds. (''[[A Clear and Present Danger]]'') |

* Peter describes the ability as "sparks" from his hand. However, the [[Assignment Tracker]]'s [http://www.primatechpaper.com/AT_2.0/at_map_file.php map] describes it, under [[Elle]]'s entry, as generating electricity. |

| Part 1 and Part 2 of Mary Rose's Origins arc have been released. |
| New: Cockney Heroes has a new blog, for all the details behind the scenes, or any unanswered questions, just look at the Cockney Chronicle now. |
| Electrical Manipulation | |
|---|---|
A man is attacked with bolts of electricity. | |
| Originally held by: | Elle Bishop (deceased), Derek Simmonds |
| Absorbed by: | Gabriel Bishop (deceased) |
| Ability to: | Generate and propel charges of electricity ranging from minor to fatal voltage |
Electric manipulation (also referred to as lightning) is the ability to generate and propel charges of electricity ranging from minor to fatal voltage.
Characters
- Elle Bishop had this ability.
- Derek Simmonds has this ability.
- Gabriel Bishop absorbed this ability from Elle, but lost it after it was drained away by Irony. He later regained it with his new ability, absorbing it from Derek Simmonds. (Ambush from an Outside Source)
Limits
Users of this power can generate electricity between themselves and other people or objects. The potential difference of the electrical arcs is not known. Users of the power are not usually harmed by electrical currents that they create themselves, although they can shock themselves if they attempt to generate arcs under unfavorable circumstances.
Elle Bishop
Elle has demonstrated her ability once, firing electricity at a van, which caused an explosion. (How to Stop an Exploding Van)
Gabriel Bishop also mentioned that Elle electrocuted him from behind when he was about to lose control of his powers. (Company Men)
Derek Simmonds
When going to Cockney Heroes, Derek had no control over his ability. Every time he used it, he discharged causing him to release it unintentionally (Hidden in the Darkness, Nemesis, How to Stop an Exploding Van, Requiem of a Prison Break). However, in the later episodes he started to gain some control over his ability, in the final episode of Volume One Derek managed to produce lightning without overcharging, and has demonstrated this ability since (Ambush from an Oustide Source,Veni Vidi Expugnavi). Derek has shown to be able to control the amount of voltage he lets out, this has shown to be useful when he used his ability like a defibrilator (The Wanderer Returns).
Gabriel Bishop
Gabriel has shown to have control over this ability and he uses it quite a lot, but has never shown to do anything excessive with this ability, it is to be mentioned that he uses his right arm to fire electricity (Hidden in the Darkness)
