| Examples of freezing | |
Cryokinesis is the ability to remove heat from matter, reducing its temperature and possibly causing it to freeze.
Characters
Sylar has acquired this ability from an unknown victim.
Limits
Virtually nothing is known about the limits of this power. In Don't Look Back, James Walker was found frozen solid, mid-bite. In Road Kill, Sylar managed to coat a large stretch of highway with ice in seconds.
Sylar did not have to have physical contact with the roadway in order to freeze it — he merely pointed his hand at the asphalt from a distance of about two meters.
Examples
- Molly's father is found frozen, mid-bite. (Don't Look Back)
- In an unaired scene, a cop guarding Molly at FBI Headquarters is found frozen, his right arm so brittle it has shattered into pieces. (One Giant Leap)
- Sylar freezes part of I-95, causing pursuing police cars to crash. (Road Kill)
Notes
- Jason Badower, creator of the graphic novel Road Kill, said he didn't want Sylar's freezing power to look like Iceman from the X-men.
- "A beam of ice never made any sense to me and wouldn't look right in the Heroes world. I figured that the air around his hands would simply just get really, really cold rather than a beam of ice shoot out of his hands. I figured he could then extend and direct the coldness around his hands towards the road (I couldn't get him leaning out and touching the road -- how would he steer the semi?!). But where does the water come from that forms the ice? Is it the oxygen in the air slowing down? Should I have drawn the ground wet from rain? Given that there was no direction for the latter in the script, I opted for the former. So my comic implies that he could freeze someone from a short distance (3 feet?)."
