Melting

Melting
Sylar turns a toaster into a puddle
Originally held by:	Zane Taylor
Absorbed by:	Sylar
Ability to:	Liquify solid matter

Liquefaction is the ability to transform solid matter into a liquid state without adding heat.

Characters

• Zane Taylor had this ability.
• Sylar has stolen it.

Limits

Zane Taylor used his power to partially or completely liquify various objects in his house, including a lamp, a telephone, and a pot. Sylar was able to completely liquify a toaster.

Liquefaction requires some conscious effort; it does not automatically affect anything the person with the power touches. The maximum amount of mass that can be affected is unknown. Based on known demonstrations, the range of the power is very short.

It is currently unclear whether objects liquified by this power return to a solid state over time and, if so, how long it takes.

Examples

• Zane Taylor's home is filled with melted objects. (Run!, Road Kill)
• Zane demonstrates the power to Sylar. (Run!)
• Sylar demonstrates the power to Mohinder by melting a toaster. (Run!)
• Sylar demonstrates the power to Dale by melting her "best wrench". (Unexpected)

Notes

• While Mohinder, Zane, and Sylar are all careful to step over or around the puddles, shadows and gaps are visible under some of the puddles where they don't meet the tarp, and some of them have thick, rounded edges. It's unclear whether the objects remain liquid, or for how long they do so.
