Puppet mastery
Eric controls the movements of Claire & Meredith.
Held by:	Eric Doyle
Ability to:	Control the movement of others

Puppet mastery is the ability to take control of other people's bodies and motor functions against their will.

Characters

• Eric Doyle is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Eric appears to have complete control over another person's actions, but not their thoughts. He is able to force people to perform any physical action he desires, even if it would force them harm to themselves or others. Most of the time, he forces the user to mimic his own actions, but he is also able to exercise some control with simple hand movements. He has not yet forced someone to act without some kind of gesture or movement of his own.

Eric can simultaneously immobilize at least three people with this ability. He can also force at least one of them to move while keeping the others paralyzed. Eric does not require a line of sight to his victims to keep them paralyzed, but he has not yet shown that he can force them to move when they are not in his line of sight. While he can maintain control of someone that he cannot see, he has not shown that he can establish such control over someone he can not see. (Dying of the Light)

Eric can force another evolved human to use their ability, as he did with Michael's lasers. (Doyle)

Eric has to concentrate on an individual to control their actions. If he is unaware of their presence or believes there is no longer any reason to maintain control, they are no longer influenced by his power. This is seen in Dying of the Light when he believes Claire to be dead and stops focusing on her, allowing her to surprise him.
