[[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Patrick Simmonds|Patrick Simmonds]] has used this ability to zap [[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/John Doe|Agent Doe]] and [[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Lloyd Parker|Agent Parker]], causing them both to convulse and fall unconscious. (''[[User:Cockney Heroes/Origins Chapters/Derek Simmonds, Part 3|Derek Simmonds, Part 3]]'') |
|||
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 travel through time, theoretically by exceeding the speed of light. (see [[#Notes|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]]=== |
|||
[[Ando]] injected himself with the [[formula]] and appeared to shoot red sparks from his hand. He soon determined that these sparks could greatly amplify 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 can manifest the red sparks at will (''[[A Clear and Present Danger]]''), but has mostly used them for show. His ability to manifest the red energy is improving with time; when he showed it to Janice Parkman, he was able to form a ball of red energy between his hands instead of just sparks (''[[Cold Snap]]''). |
|||
Ando recently found that he could use his ability as a weapon, generating a lightning-like burst of energy capable of knocking out a man in body armor (''[[Cold Snap]]''). His power has a range of at least a few meters when used in this fashion. The full extent of the damage caused by this effect is not yet known. It is also hazardous to other organic matter (''[[Baby Power]]''). In a possible future, Ando supposedly kills [[Hiro Nakamura (exposed future)|Future Hiro]] with this ability (''[[The Second Coming]]''). |

"''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]]''. |
|||
* [[Einstein]]'s theory of relativity does not actually show this. His second postulate of relativity states that time only moves forward. Time dilation makes the person traveling at speeds close to that of the speed of light experience much less time, therefore dilating time, not contracting it or reversing it. |
