Ability manipulation
Arthur absorbs Peter's abilities.
Originally held by:	Arthur Petrelli (deceased)
Absorbed by:	Peter Petrelli (lost)
Ability to:	Manipulate people's ability

Ability manipulation is the ability to absorb people's ability and implant ability to others through physical contact.

Characters

• Arthur Petrelli had this ability.
• Peter Petrelli had absorbed this ability.

Limits

Arthur's ability can allow him to manipulate people's ability, which mean he can absorb people's ability or implant ability to the others. He only can implant the ability he absorbed (but ability manipulation cannot be implanted), and the target should be evolved human, because most of the normal people's body cannot accept this great change.

Examples

• 
  Arthur grasps Adam's hand...
• 
  ...and drains his ability, causing him to rapidly age...
• 
  ...until he finally decays and is nothing more than a pile of dust.
  (Dying of the Light)
• 
  Arthur can now breathe without the aid of a machine.
  (Dying of the Light)
• 
  Arthur hugs his son, stealing his abilities...
• 
  ...and then taunts him with his newly-acquired lightning.
  (Dying of the Light)
• 
  Arthur takes Maya's ability away from her. (Eris Quod Sum)
• 
  Arthur takes both the catalyst and space-time manipulation from Hiro.
