Knox may also be able to convert fear to enhanced speed.	There is some sort visual change in speed when he attacks The German and Peter	- It seems unlikely that his ability would also have the effect of granting him enhanced speed such as the ability Daphne has. At the most it would probably only grant him some form of enhanced reflexes. Though it was more likely just a visual effect to show the level of strength he was granted from being near so many frightened people.
Knox's ability also allows him improved reflexes.	None.	+ He is able to reach up and break the neck of Daphne's illusion despite her running at super speeds. (Eris Quod Sum) - Matt presumably wanted Knox to believe that both he and Daphne were dead, so his success at "killing" the Daphne illusion is not necessarily an indication of what would really happen.
Knox's ability involves a limited form of telepathy.	None.	+ There are no significant physical changes in the human body when a person is scared. Knox's ability to detect fear must be limited to the mind and not the body. - He seams to smell fear, like a dog can. + Perhaps his ability to smell fear is a result of his fear-detecting telepathy, which would probably be located in the olfactory part of his brain. - On the contrary, there are numerous physical changes in the human body when a person is scared. A change in heartbeat and breathing pattern, sweating, eye movement changes. There are lots of things he could be basing it off. It seems clear he smells fear.
Knox suffers from intense nasal congestion.	None.	+ Knox deeply inhales through his nose, trying to smell things, but he can't. This gives him enhanced strength. • Perhaps he should try Sudafed.
Knox's ability is weaker than Niki's strength.	None.	+ In a one on one fight between them, Niki would have her strength completly and Knox would only have it if she was afraid of him. + Knox isn't that scary. - The more people there are the more stronger he would be. + "In a one on one fight between them, Niki would have her strength completly and Knox would only have it if she was afraid of him." You seem to disregard that. • It would depend on the situation. Niki has proven to be a somewhat timid individual, so Knox would probably make her scared. • Knox has demonstrated incredible strength with only onde scared person near him at the time.
