Persuasion

Eden McCain uses her power of persuasion to force Matt Parkman to leave her.
Held by: Eden McCain
Ability to: Compel others with vocal persuasion

Persuasion is the ability to force others to obey one's spoken imperatives.

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.

Often during her focused commands her voice would become distorted. (Six Months Ago)(Fallout)

Eden's suggestions 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 (Life Before Eden).
