Examples of water mimicry

Water mimicry is the ability to mimic water and control oneself while in a watery state.

Characters

• The "liquid man" has this ability.
• Elisa has this ability.
• Donald Essex has this ability.
• Tracy Strauss has this ability.

Limits

Liquid man

The "liquid man" was able to use his ability to turn his body partially into water and direct it to douse the agents assigned to capture him. His body was then able to completely reform after performing this action. However, after regrouping, the agent Maarten, who holds the power of pyrokinesis, was able to use his power to overcome and corner the man in a railway car.

Apparently, the "liquid man" cannot use his ability to its full extent in freezing conditions. After he is locked in the train (the door of which reads "морозилка машина", which translates from Russian as "the freezer car"), Noah says that the man is not going anywhere for awhile.

Elisa

So far, Elisa has only demonstrated the ability to completely transmute her entire body, her clothing, and small personal items such as a necklace and a syringe into water and back again (Destiny, Part 1). She is also capable of reforming completely after flowing herself through a showerhead (Destiny, Part 3), and even after leaving small drops of herself behind (Destiny, Part 4).

Donald Essex

Donald has shown that he is able to transform his chest and arms into water. When he transforms his arms into water, he can generate more water from his arms and fire them at people. After he was subdued by Nathan's agent, his entire body begins dissolving into water, which is eventually dumped into the Mississippi River. According to one of the agents that took him down, Donald transforms himself into saltwater. (Under the Bridge, Part 2)

Tracy Strauss

Tracy is seen at the beginning of Volume 5. Agent Kent Harper, who has been fired from Homeland Security, walks into his apartment. His faucet is on and overflowing. The water on the floor begins to move, and forms into a woman's body. She claims he's "number four" before holding her hand out in his direction, presumably drowning him.

Later, "Nathan Petrelli" reads about Harper's "mysterious drowning" in the newspaper. (An Invisible Thread)

  ...but dissolves when a special gas is sprayed in his face.
  (Under the Bridge, Part 2)

Notes

• In an interview, writers Adam Armus and Kay Foster said, "Elisa has the power to change her molecular structure. She uses her ability to become liquid. Is it water? Probably not. She's able to transport things the way any liquid transports things--through momentum."
• Tracy Strauss has an ability consistent with water mimicry.
