Suggestion

Suggestion
Eden McCain uses her power of suggestion to force Matt Parkman to leave her.
Held by:	Eden McCain
Ability to:	Compel others with vocal suggestion

Suggestion is the ability to force others to obey one's spoken suggestions.

Characters

Eden is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Eden's power of suggestion requires speech (so, it will not work if the user is gagged), and presumably requires the affected individual to understand the spoken commands and be able to act on them.

Eden's suggestions do not compel instant obedience. She sometimes has to repeat commands before her victims obey (Six Months Ago), and the exact wording of the command may affect its success (Sylar appeared to resist Eden's rather complex set of commands at the end of Fallout). However, when strongly focused, the true limits of the power may extend to outright killing of the victim through pure power of suggestion (Life Before Eden).

Examples

• Eden may have used her power to convince Mohinder to return from India. (Better Halves, Fallout)
• Eden convinces Isaac to take drugs again. (Seven Minutes to Midnight)
• Eden uses her powers to prevent Sylar from attacking her, and then tells him to go to sleep. (listen) (Homecoming)
• Eden uses her power of suggestion to force Matt Parkman to go eat some donuts. (Six Months Ago)
• Eden attempts to use her power to make Sylar kill himself, but is unsuccessful. (Fallout)
• Eden (in a moment of anger) kills her step-mother with a verbal command. (Graphic Novel:Life Before Eden)
