'''The Power of Persuasion''' is the [[ability]] to force others to obey one's spoken persuasions. |
|||
==Characters== |
|||
[[Eden]] is the only character known to have this ability. |
|||
==Limits== |
|||
[[Eden]]'s power of persuasion requires speech (so, it would not work if she were gagged), and presumably requires the affected individual to understand the spoken commands and be able to act on them. |
|||
Eden's persuasions do not compel instant obedience. She sometimes has to repeat commands before her victims obey (''[[Six Months Ago]]''), and the exact wording of the command may affect its success ([[Sylar]] appeared to resist Eden's rather complex set of commands at the end of ''[[Fallout]]''). However, when strongly focused, the true limits of the power may extend to outright killing of the victim through pure power of persuasion (''[[Graphic Novel:Life Before Eden|Life Before Eden]]''). |
|||
==Examples== |
|||
* Eden (in a moment of anger) kills her step-mother with a verbal command. (''[[Graphic Novel:Life Before Eden|Life Before Eden]]'') |
|||
* Eden allegedly uses her power to lead a life of crime (including grand theft auto and arson). (''[[Six Months Ago]]'') |
|||
* Eden uses her power of persuasion to force [[Matt Parkman]] to go eat some donuts. (''[[Six Months Ago]]'') |
|||
* Eden attempts to use her power on [[Mr. Bennet]], but is [[mental manipulation|unable]] in [[the Haitian]]'s presence. (''[[Six Months Ago]]'') |
|||
* At [[AWI|Mr. Bennet's command]], Eden convinces [[Isaac_Mendez|Isaac]] to take [[heroin|drugs]] again. (''[[Seven Minutes to Midnight]]'') |
|||
* Eden uses her powers to prevent [[Sylar]] from attacking her, and then tells him to go to sleep. (''[[Media:eden.ogg|listen]]'') (''[[Episode:Homecoming|Homecoming]]'') |
|||
* Eden attempts to use her power to make [[Sylar]] [[suicide|kill himself]], but is unsuccessful. (''[[Fallout]]'') |
