'''Terrakinesis''' is the [[ability]] to control geologic materials such as dirt and rocks. |
|||
==Characters== |
|||
* [[Sparrow Redhouse]] is the first character known to possess this ability. (''[[Rebellion, Part 2]]'') |
|||
* [[Samuel Sullivan]] also has this ability. (''[[Orientation]]'') |
|||
==Limits== |
|||
===[[Sparrow Redhouse]]=== |
|||
Sparrow Redhouse has demonstrated proficient control over this ability. She states that she could only use the ability when touching the earth, but after she falls from [[Flight 195]], Sparrow develops the capability of summoning the earth without touching it. She used this to summon the earth to "catch" her from her fall (''[[Rebellion, Part 2]]''). She has also been able to summon rocks from the ground and control them, as well as use the earth to "push" objects into the air (''[[Rebellion, Part 2]]''). Sparrow stated she was not capable of summoning earth in the city before Flight 195 because of asphalt (''[[Rebellion, Part 2]]''). At times, Sparrow's eyes [[Eye alteration|glow]] when using her powers (''[[Rebellion, Part 2]]''). Sparrow has also shown the ability to create stone bridges (''[[Rebellion, Part 4]]''), as well as massive arms made of rock (''[[Rebellion, Part 5]]''). Sparrow can also use the power to travel long distances as she used it to travel from the vicinity of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C. on a massive trail of dirt (''[[Rebellion, Part 7]]''). |
|||
===[[Samuel Sullivan]]=== |
|||
At [[Joseph Sullivan's funeral]], Samuel was able to move dirt to cover [[Joseph Sullivan|his brother's]] grave, moving only a little at a time. He is also able to control a certain type of mineral-based ink, using it to form a tattoo of a hand and choke [[Edgar]] (''[[Orientation]]''). He used his ability over ink three times on [[Lydia]], to find [[Hiro]] and [[Danko]] (''[[Orientation]]''), and then to see [[Claire]], [[Sylar]], and [[Peter]] (''[[Jump, Push, Fall]]''). He also showed Hiro a [[tattoo]] of a [[compass]] that spins wildly. Samuel can absorb the ink into himself in order to transport it. He used that ink to create a compass tattoo on Peter, being able to control it later from a distance and has enough fine control over it to add an identifiable image of himself in one of Peter's newspaper scraps. He was also able to create a massive sinkhole underneath his birth home, destroying it utterly after being brushed off by the current residents (''[[Ink]]''). |

Revision as of 16:07, 24 October 2009
| Terrakinesis | |
|---|---|
 Lyle is a pointless character. | |
| Originally held by: | Lyle, Caitlin, Maya, West... |
| Absorbed by: | Almost everyone in Volume Two. |
| Ability to: | Intensely slow down the plot of any storyline. |
| Examples of terrakinesis | |
Pointlessness is the ability to appear in an episode, graphic novel, scene, volume or cast and serve no defining purpose in the overall plot.
Characters
Confirmed
- Lyle Bennet seems to possess this ability naturally.
- Monica Dawson could have resisted this ability, but she ended up with it anyway.
- Caitlin may have absorped this ability from Peter Petrelli when he lost his memory.
- Maya Herrera's original power was perhaps too powerful to be frequently used in the show, therefore she unfortunately developed this ability until she was written off.
Possible
- Many speculate that Mohinder, at one time, was an adept user of this ability. He probably lost it to the Shanti virus.
- In fact, this was probably Mohinder's ability during Volume Three.
Examples
-
-
This is hopefully where all pointlessness leads. -
Mohinder is ashamed of his pointlessness. -
Good characters that wish to help the pace of the plot and resist pointlessness are rewarded by having a real power.
Notes
- Also known as "Lyle Style."
- Just because a character doesn't have a normal ability, don't assume that they are pointless. Examples of non-pointless characters are Ando and Noah Bennet, who are non-evolved but still drive the plotline.
- Most characters with this ability do not last very long, as they are killed by Sylar (see Alejandro). However, Sylar does not seem to have taken this ability yet.
