| File:Ability loss.jpg Examples of four of the ways in which powers can be lost. |
Ability loss renders an evolved human unable to use his/her ability through drugs, illness, theft, or other evolved human abilities.
Causes
- Curare (temporary effect)
- Opium (temporary effect)
- The Haitian's ability (temporary effect)
- The Shanti virus (curable, potentially fatal if untreated)
- Ability negation pills (temporary effect)
- Arthur Petrelli's ability (effects last for an indefinite amount of time)
Drugs
Mohinder gives Sylar some curare intravenously in order to cause "paralysis of the brain." Sylar was unable to use his abilities until he removed the IV drip. (Parasite)
Takezo ties up Hiro and exposes him to opium smoke. During this time, Hiro was unable to use his abilities due to his lack of concentration and sluggishness caused by the opium. (Out of Time)
It is unknown if opium will still cause ability loss for evolved humans that possess abilities that are passive or require little concentration.
After being captured by the Company, Peter is given ability negation pills in order to suppress his powers. The effects of the pills wore off a few days after Peter stopped taking them. (Four Months Ago...)
