===[[Tracy Strauss]]=== |

Tracy is seen at the beginning of Volume 5. Agent Kent Harper, who has been fired from Homeland Security, walks into his apartment. His faucet is on and overflowing. The water on the floor begins to move, and forms into a woman's body. She claims he's "number four" before holding her hand out in his direction, presumably drowning him. |
|||
Later, "Nathan Petrelli" reads about Harper's "mysterious drowning" in the newspaper. (''[[An Invisible Thread]]'') |
|||
So far she has only been shown to mimic water without transporting any items, such as clothes or jewelery. Other water mimics such as Elisa were capable of deforming then reforming with their clothes intact. |
|||
At present, there is no indication that Tracy does not still have access to her freezing ability. It is possible that rather than a complete change in her powers, she is able to control all aspects and states of water. This may be a new ability not seen before, or it is possible that all water mimics have access to this and are not yet aware. |

| Water mimicry | |
|---|---|
 Elisa appears in front of Santiago. | |
| Held by: | "Liquid man", Elisa, Donald Essex |
| Ability to: | Mimic water and control oneself while in a watery state |
| Examples of water mimicry | |
Water mimicry is the ability to mimic water and control oneself while in a watery state.
Characters
- The "liquid man" has this ability.
- Elisa has this ability.
- Donald Essex has this ability.
Limits
The "liquid man" was able to use his ability to turn his body partially into water and direct it to douse the agents assigned to capture him. His body was then able to completely reform after performing this action. However, after regrouping, the agent Maarten, who holds the power of pyrokinesis, was able to use his power to overcome and corner the man in a railway car.
Apparently, the "liquid man" cannot use his ability to its full extent in freezing conditions. After he is locked in the train (the door of which reads "морозилка машина", which translates from Russian as "the freezer car"), Noah says that the man is not going anywhere for awhile.
So far, Elisa has only demonstrated the ability to completely transmute her entire body, her clothing, and small personal items such as a necklace and a syringe into water and back again (Destiny, Part 1). She is also capable of reforming completely after flowing herself through a showerhead (Destiny, Part 3), and even after leaving small drops of herself behind (Destiny, Part 4).
Donald has shown that he is able to transform his chest and arms into water. When he transforms his arms into water, he can generate more water from his arms and fire them at people. After he was subdued by Nathan's agent, his entire body begins dissolving into water, which is eventually dumped into the Mississippi River. According to one of the agents that took him down, Donald transforms himself into saltwater. (Under the Bridge, Part 2)
Examples
-
A man turns into water to avoid being captured by the Company... -
-
Elisa becomes water. -
-
Elisa approaches Santiago.
(Destiny, Part 2) -
Elisa caresses Santiago's chest.
(Destiny, Part 3) -
Elisa leaves a drop of water on Santiago's lips. -
Elisa dematerializes to avoid getting run over.
(Destiny, Part 4) -
-
Donald Essex makes a water geyser with his finger... -
...and turns his arm into water to disarm an agent... -
...but dissolves when a special gas is sprayed in his face.
(Under the Bridge, Part 2)
Notes
- In an interview, writers Adam Armus and Kay Foster said, "Elisa has the power to change her molecular structure. She uses her ability to become liquid. Is it water? Probably not. She's able to transport things the way any liquid transports things--through momentum."
