Examples of telekinesis

Telekinesis is the ability to move objects with the mind.

Characters

• Brian Davis is the first character (chronologically) to demonstrate this ability.
• Sylar acquires telekinetic abilities after murdering Brian.
• Peter Petrelli has absorbed this ability from Sylar and reproduced it.

Limits

Brian Davis

Brian Davis had extremely limited telekinetic ability. With intense concentration, he was able to move a cup slowly across the surface of a table. Brian was afraid of his power, and never tried to develop it.

Sylar

Sylar has demonstrated far more advanced telekinetic abilities than Brian, probably because Sylar has actively developed the power. He can exert enough telekinetic force to flip a truck through the air or tear sheet metal, and he has enough control to cut off the top of a person's skull to expose the brain. He can simultaneously manipulate dozens of objects at once, as when he lifted shards of broken glass, oriented all of them to point away from him, and flung them across a room with deadly force (.07%). Sylar is able to use this power with relatively little concentration.

Sylar did not use his power directly against Peter after he turned invisible (.07%), suggesting that the target of this power must be visible to the user (if not actually in line of sight) or its location must be clearly known.

Peter Petrelli

Peter Petrelli is more powerful than Brian was, but not as adept as Sylar; he was able to stop Claude from striking him with a mop handle and throw Sylar across a room. By pushing a van, he has shown that he can exert large amounts of force, but his fine control does not match Sylar's.

Memorable Quotes

"We've pieced a trail across a dozen states. All people impaled by household objects. Bones broken. All without any traceable sign of physical contact. But only some of them involve any mutilation of the head or neck, so they don't see the connections."

- Audrey (to Matt) (One Giant Leap)

"Brian Davis, you think he's ... telekinetic? Moves things with his mind, or are you just gonna toss him aside too?"

- Sylar (to Chandra) (Six Months Ago)

"You pushed that away with your mind. Which one of your sorry friends has telekinesis?"

"None of 'em do. Oh, right, that guy who was chasing Claire in Texas. He sent some lockers flying at me."

- Claude, Peter (Unexpected)

Notes

• Chandra Suresh referred to Brian Davis's power as "telekinesis". The Mozaic file mentions "psychokinesis". In common usage, the two terms often refer to the same power.
