Aura absorption

Aura absorption
Linda's hand glows blue as she uses her power on Ida May Walker.
Held by:	Linda Tavara
Ability to:	Take the lives and abilities of others

Linda's ability is the ability to take the lives of others and the abilities of evolved humans.

Characters

• Linda Tavara is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

It seems Linda must touch her victims with both hands to use her ability. In each use of the power so far, one hand touches the intended victim. The other, which glows blue, moves toward the victim's face. The use of her ability leaves the bodies of her victims withered. If her victim is an evolved human, she also takes their ability.

Examples

• 
  Linda tries to use her ability on Daniel Linderman but fails.
  (War Buddies, Part 7)
• 
  Earlier, she successfully used her ability on Jason Welkes...
• 
  ...and on her informant.
  (Bounty Hunter)

Memorable Quotes

"Just like she said. After I steal his power...no one will be able to stop me."

- Linda Tavara (War Buddies, Part 7)

Notes

• In a forum post, Robert Atkins said, "Linda drains the life force from those she touches when using her powers. somewhat like Rogue in X-Men, when used on normal people it kills them and give her a 'boost'...When draining someone's lifeforce that has power, she would notice when draining the power."
• According to the script for Bounty Hunter, Linda's hands (plural) were supposed to glow blue when touching Jason Welkes.
