This article has been nominated for a name change to Ability development. To discuss the proposed name change, see the discussion page. |
|
| Ability development | |
|---|---|
 Matt's telepathy allows him to use precognition. | |
| Ability to: | Unlock further potentials of ones ability. |
Many Evolved Humans have shown that, over time and through experience, their abilities can develop and become more powerful.
Examples of Ability Development
Accelerated probability
Both Edward and Santiago are able to predict probabilities and move at super speeds (Webisode:Destiny, Part 1), but Edward was able to develop his ability over the years to produce a ball of electricity with it. (Webisode:Destiny, Part 4)
Clairsentience
When she first discovered her ability, Bridget Bailey was having trouble controlling it. She would get a memory of any object she touched. After gaining control of her visions, became able to scan the "surface memories" of an object.
Electric manipulation
Both Elle and a Homeland Security agent can generate electrical arcs. (Four Months Ago...) In the Explosion future timeline, the DHS agent has developed his ability and can levitate using it. (Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 1)
Electronic communication
When they were alive, both Richard Drucker and Hana Gitelman were able to manipulate, generate and interpret electronic/digital communications. (Graphic Novel:Wireless, Part 1) After the death of their physical bodies, they then transferred their consciousness' into the digital medium. (Graphic Novel:The Death of Hana Gitelman, Part 2)
Empathic mimicry
When Peter Petrelli first discovered his original ability, he could only mimic the abilities of those in his presence. (Genesis) Later, his ability developed and he was able to recall absorbed abilities outside of the source's presence by remembering how they made him feel. (Distractions) Before his father took his abilities (Dying of the Light), Peter had access to 15 absorbed abilities.
Induced radioactivity
Ted Sprague was initially only able to "burn hot," heating his environment, explosively at times and passively emit radiation. (Nothing to Hide) He was later able to "burn bright" and produce an electro-magnetic pulse with his ability to help escape a Primatech holding facility, apparantly causing no heat damage to the facility or the person near him. (.07%)
Intuitive aptitude
Sylar was first only able to aquire abilities by studying his victim's brain. (Six Months Ago) However, with the aid of Arthur Petrelli, Sylar discovered he could also obtain the ability of another Evolved human by means of an empathic connection with the person (similar to Empathic mimicry but not as passive). (It's Coming)
Poison emission
When she first discovered her ability, Maya needed Alejandro to deactivate her ability for her. (Four Months Ago...) Later, with the help of Sylar, she becomes able to deactivate her ability at will. (Truth & Consequences)
Precognitive dreaming
Both Angela and Peter have shown that this ability is mainly dreaming the future. (Fallout) However, she was able to appear in Sylar's dream to convince him to wake up and escape from Level 5 (Eris Quod Sum) and Peter was able to interact with his dreams - by talking to someone in one (How to Stop an Exploding Man) and obtaining an object from another. (Truth & Consequences)
Pyrokinesis
A normal pyrokinetic is only able to produce an orange flame. (The Fix) However, after working hard to improve his ability, Flint Gordon, Jr was able to increase the intensity of his pyrokinesis. His flames now burn blue. (Graphic Novel:Playing with Fire)
Sound manipulation
At first, Echo DeMille was only able to produce sonic screams with his ability. (Webisode:Going Postal, Part 1) Later he was shown to be able to:
- Mimic song melodies.
- Produce infrasounds.
- Mimic bird calls.
- Convert other forms of energy (eg. electricity) to sound. (Graphic Novel:Going Postal)
Telekinesis
A weak telekinetic, like Brian Davis, is only able to move small things with their mind. (Six Months Ago) Sylar has developed his telekinesis, which grants him:
- Enhanced strength - Sylar is able to pin people onto walls and ceilings, far beyond the capabilities of normal person. (Don't Look Back)
- Near invulnerability - Sylar is able to use his telekinesis to lessen physical impacts; like being shot or falling off a roof. (One Giant Leap)
- Puppet master - Sylar can control a persons actions using his telekinesis. (One Giant Leap)
Telepathy
Matt Parkman was initially only able to read minds. (Don't Look Back) With practice and coaching, his ability developed and he was able to perform more actions.
Well developed telepaths can perform the effects of the following abilities:
- Illusion - Matt is able to implant scenarios into the heads of others and make them believe it is real. His father was the first to show this aspect of telepathy. (Fight or Flight)
- Persuasion - Matt is able to put a thought into a person's head and effectively make them do something. (Fight or Flight) This differs from Eden's ability as she has to voice a command.
- Precognition - By using his telepathy to reach the state of consciousness akin to other precogs, Matt can paint prophetic images. (A Clear and Present Danger)
- Mental manipulation - Arthur Petrelli had used his telepathy to erase some of his wife's memories. (Villains)
Water mimicry
Other water mimics can only turn themselves and whatever they are holding into water. Donald Essex has shown that he is also able to create torrents of water using his ability. (Graphic Novel:Under the Bridge, Part 2)
Notes
- There are 3 main examples of undevelopable abilities - Rapid cell regeneration, Space-time manipulation and Flight.
- Rapid cell regeneration is passive and the possessor has no mental control over its workings.
- Space-time manipulation is already extremely powerful.
- Flight is the only thing the possessor can achieve.
