| Ability byproducts | |
|---|---|
 Though Edward's ability is Accelerated probability, he can discharge Lightning. |
Though rare, some evolved humans can demonstrate more than one ability. These extra abilities are, in fact, byproducts of their users central ability.
Examples
Accelerated probability
Central ability: See the choices in a situation, predict the outcomes, and choose the best path.
Byproduct(s): Santiago and Edward both can move very fast. Edward can also generate a form of lightning.
Plant manipulation
Central ability: Manipulate vegetation.
Byproduct(s): Brendan Lewis can regenerate due to the plant like characteristics of his physiology.
Possible examples
Intuitive aptitude
Central ability: Understand how complex systems work.
Byproduct(s): Sylar can absorb abilities by studying his victim's brains, and through empathy.
Telepathy
Central ability: Read minds and project thoughts.
Byproduct(s): Matt Parkman can not only read minds, but can also create illusions.
Teleportation
Central ability: Move instantly from one location to another.
Byproduct(s): Though Manuel Garcia can only teleport, Hiro Nakamura can both manipulate time and teleport.
Notes
- Every ability may have a byproduct, but is seen as a part of the central ability and vice-versa. The above listed may not be byproducts at all, and are just aspects of the ability.
