[[User:Cockney Heroes/Characters/Gabriel Bishop|Gabriel]] has only demonstrated the teleportation aspect of this ability; he has said that he could only teleport two other people with him at a time. (<i>[[User:Cockney Heroes/Episodes/Pinehearst|Pinehearst]]</i>)
===[[Hiro Nakamura]]===
All of Hiro's space-time manipulation abilities require intense concentration, as shown by the way he typically closes his eyes and furrows his brow when attempting to invoke his power. His control has substantially improved over time, however, and he has far greater command of his abilities now than when he first discovered them.

Hiro can apparently stop time, causing the rest of the world to seem to freeze while he can still move. When time is frozen this way, Hiro can still interact with objects and even people without them being "unfrozen" or aware of his activities. In addition, Hiro can slow time (''[[Godsend]]''), and reverse time (''[[Unexpected]]''). The last is particularly unusual, in that his manipulation caused a gun to actually misfire, as though time reversed for the bullet, but only slowed or stopped for the gun itself. This event suggests that Hiro can cause various objects to move through time selectively.

Hiro can teleport himself and other people through space instantaneously. Such teleports can cover at least intercontinental distances. Each time he has [[power extension|carried "passengers"]], he has been touching the other individual(s). Hiro has shown the ability to teleport himself, a horse, and the horse's rider simultaneously; Hiro placed his hand on the horse's neck.

Hiro can also move himself and another person through time into the future or the past. If moving into the past, he can [[Ray Bradbury|alter history]], but he apparently cannot alter history in such a way that he would [[Paradox|eliminate his original cause for going into the past]]. Both Hiro and [[Hiro (explosion future)|Future Hiro]] (see below) have experienced this limitation. Nonetheless, Hiro's trips into the past create a variety of [[Timeline:Possible Futures|alternate timelines]]. Both Hiro and Future Hiro have mentioned that careless use of time travel could cause a [[rift]].

Hiro had relatively limited power upon returning from his attempt to save [[Charlie]]. He was unable to go back in time to try again to save her, and when attempting to stop time at the [[Museum of Natural History|museum]], he only succeeded in slowing it. Upon obtaining the [[Kensei sword|sword]] of [[Takezo Kensei]], he was immediately able to teleport himself and [[Ando]] through both time and space with relative ease. He has since shown that he can use his power normally without a sword for a focus.

According to an interview (see [[#Notes|notes]] below), Hiro ages normally while using his power. Thus, if "he lived a year in the past and returned to the present, he'd be a year older."

Hiro's ability has been suppressed by dosing him with fumes of [[opium]], which breaks his concentration and thus disables him from stopping time and teleporting. (''[[Out of Time]]'')

A person with this ability is apparently [[ability immunity|immune]] to time-stops caused by others with the same ability. When Hiro froze time to attack [[Adam Monroe]], [[Peter]], an ally of Adam, was unaffected. (''[[Powerless]]'')

Hiro apparently doesn't fully stop time, explaining how [[Daphne Millbrook]] was still able to move at her normal speed when time was apparently stopped. (''[[The Second Coming]]'')

After having his mind forcibly regressed to the age of 10 by [[Arthur Petrelli]], Hiro was still able to slow and stop time, and to teleport himself and another person to a desired location with ease, though Ando had to teach him about his ability. (''[[It's Coming]]'')

Although [[Arthur Petrelli]] [[power absorption|stole]] this ability from Hiro, [[Matt Parkman Jr.]] has [[Matt Parkman Jr.'s ability|restored]] Hiro's ability to stop time. Whether Hiro can regain other aspects of his ability remains to be seen.

===[[Hiro Nakamura (explosion future)|Future Hiro Nakamura]]===
Future Hiro has the same space-time manipulation abilities as his "present" self, but he appears to be able to use them with less effort. He is also much more proficient in differentiating the teleportation aspect of his ability from the time-traveling aspect. He is also able to selectively include others in his time freezing, without maintaining physical contact, albeit with much more concentration. (''[[Hiros]]'', ''[[Five Years Gone]]'').

During the [[Moab Federal Penitentiary]] breakout, one of the [[evolved human]] guards was able to prevent him and [[Peter Petrelli (explosion future)|Peter]] from stopping time. It is unknown which one of them was responsible for this. (''[[Walls, Part 2]]'')

===[[Peter Petrelli]]===
When Peter mimicked this ability, he seemed able to do so without the intense concentration shown by Hiro.

Peter's first demonstration of the power was to slow time when Mr. Bennet and the Haitian tried to subdue him with tasers. He apparently used the power instinctively to slow time. When time resumed its normal flow, the taser darts fell to the ground instead of continuing their flight. It isn't clear whether this was a side-effect of Peter manipulating time (like Hiro's manipulation of the handgun in ''[[Unexpected]]'') or the result of some other power Peter used (like [[telekinesis]]). In ''{{ep|206}}'', Peter teleported and time-traveled with [[Caitlin]] without intense concentration.

In ''[[Truth & Consequences]]'', Peter is able to speak with Hiro despite Hiro stopping time, indicating that he spontaneously used this power to interact with Hiro.

In ''[[I Am Become Death]]'', Peter demonstrates more advanced control of the ability, teleporting from New York to Costa Verde at will, without moving through time. After activating [[intuitive aptitude]] with [[Sylar (exposed future)|Gabriel Gray's]] help, Peter is able to teleport and time travel to the correct destination and timeframe.

===[[Peter Petrelli (explosion future)|Future Peter Petrelli]] or [[Peter Petrelli (exposed future)|Future Peter Petrelli]]===
In the [[explosion future]], [[Peter Petrelli (explosion future)|Peter]] used this power to teleport himself and others as well as to stop time (''[[Five Years Gone]]''). A [[Peter Petrelli (exposed future)|different]] Future Peter has demonstrated teleporting himself and others, stopping time and traveling back in time. He has enough control over his ability that he is able to teleport others without necessarily teleporting himself. (''[[The Second Coming]]'').

===[[Arthur Petrelli]]===
Arthur has used this ability to teleport to Africa, and then to go back to [[Pinehearst]]. (''[[It's Coming]]'')

Arthur was also able to time travel sixteen years in the past, to the [[Charles Deveaux's rooftop]], and was capable of sending Claire through time and space without teleporting himself.

==Hiro's Weakened Power==
Hiro believes [[Takezo Kensei's sword]] and other factors--such as his own [[heroism|heroic intent]] -- are sources of his power. Upon acquisition of the [[Kensei sword|sword]], Hiro was immediately able to use his powers with both greater effect and less effort (''[[Parasite]]''). Prior to obtaining the sword, Hiro is sometimes frustrated by his lack of powers. Instances of him being unable to control space-time include:
* when Ando and he are in the bathroom while [[Jessica]] [[enhanced strength|wreaks havoc]]. (''[[Better Halves]]'')
* when he teleports "too far". (''[[Six Months Ago]]'')
* when he accidentally teleports while kissing Charlie. (''[[Six Months Ago]]'')
* when he is unable to use his power to leave the roof of [[Yamagato Industries]]. (''[[Six Months Ago]]'')
* when he tries to stop time at the [[Museum of Natural History|museum]]; he only slows it. (''[[Godsend]]'')
* at the [[parking garage]], when he stares at the punch clock but is unable to manipulate time. (''[[The Fix]]'')
Following an encounter with his [[Kaito|father]], Hiro has discovered that his control over his ability depends on his self-confidence, not the sword. (''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'')

==Notes==
* When talking about merely slowing down time at the [[Museum of Natural History]] rather than actually stopping it, [[Hiro]] [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2007/01/the_sword.php blogs], "Instead of Stop, I casted Haste."
* In an [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=9817 interview], [[Aron Coleite]] and [[Joe Pokaski]] explain that [[Hiro]] did reverse time with respect to [[Hope]]'s gun in ''[[Unexpected]]''.
* According to an [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/where_to_begin.php entry] in [[Hiro's blog]], Hiro's cell phone's memory isn't affected by time traveling. In another [http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/2006/11/practice_makes_perfect.php entry], Hiro says he can freeze time for one minute pretty comfortably.
* In an [http://newsok.com/article/3109530/1187919929 interview], [[Tim Kring]] noted, "I didn't start off by saying I want a guy who can teleport. I started off by saying I wanted a guy who felt trapped in a life that was not his dream and what could be a power that would be most wish-fulfilling for that character? And that was the ability to teleport out of that life."
* It is unknown if the unconfirmed ability called "[[transportation]]" is related to space-time manipulation.
* Writers [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]] [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18343 explained] that Hiro doesn't actually stop time, he just slows it down very much: "Whatever a nano of a nano second is, that's where they live." This is why he is able to have a "normal time" conversation with [[Daphne]], who moves at [[super speed]]s.
* According to [[Einstein]]'s theory of relativity, an object that travels faster than the speed of light theoretically has the capability to arrive at a moment in time before it has left that spot. Daphne is able to witness herself just seconds before becoming "[[ability supercharging|supercharged]]" by Ando and jumping into the past. This theory is entirely allowed by calculated physics and many scientists believe it to be a theoretical possibility. These speeds are naturally occurring at the edge of black holes. To an onlooker, you would look like you are disappearing as you travel backwards to the past.
* [[Daphne]] was able to travel back and forth in time by having [[super speed|her ability]] [[ability supercharging|supercharged]]. {{epp|313}}
