Examples of electric manipulation

Lightning is the ability to create and direct electrical arcs.

Characters

• Elle has this ability.
• Peter has absorbed this ability from Elle.

Limits

Users of this power can generate electrical arcs between themselves and other people or objects within a range of at least a few meters. The amount of current that such arcs can carry is not known. Users of the power are not harmed by electrical currents that they create themselves; it is not clear whether this power gives resistance to electrical current from other sources.

Elle

Elle has great control over her power. She is able to adjust the strength and power of the electrical arcs she generates, such as creating a small arc to weld and seal a lock, or a massive surge, sufficient to kill.

Peter Petrelli

Peter can throw bolts from his hands capable of knocking people they strike unconscious.
