| Clairvoyance | |
|---|---|
 Molly locates people's positions on a map. | |
| Held by: | Molly Walker |
| Ability to: | See and locate distant people |
| Examples of clairvoyance | |
Clairvoyance is the ability to discern people who are not in the observer's presence.
Characters
- Molly Walker is the only character known to have this ability.
Limits
Molly can see visions of people by thinking about them. She can also see glimpses of what that person is doing.
Molly can locate any person upon whom she concentrates. She can then indicate the person's location on a map. She was able to pinpoint Matt's father to a specific room in an apartment building. Molly apparently needs to know what a person looks like before she locates them. However, Noah believed that she could find West without that information, giving only his name (Cautionary Tales).
The manner in which Molly uses her clairvoyant powers in The Kindness of Strangers suggests that she actually has an "out-of-body experience" while using her powers, although she is able to maintain consciousness in two places at once.
Molly was unable to find the late Alejandro, showing that she is unable to detect dead bodies (Powerless). It is unclear if she is unable to locate other non-living objects; she has not yet attempted to do so.
Selected Examples
-
-
...and pinpoints him on a map.
(Landslide) -
Molly closes her eyes, concentrates, and thinks about the boogeyman. She flips through a map book... -
...and she places a pushpin on a map.
(How to Stop an Exploding Man) -
Molly thinks about the "boogeyman" and tells Mohinder that he is already here.
(How to Stop an Exploding Man) -
Molly helps Mr. Bennet find Peter.
(How to Stop an Exploding Man) -
Molly concentrates on Maury Parkman... -
...and sees his apartment.
(The Kindness of Strangers)
Notes
- It is not clear exactly how much Molly needs to know about a person to find that individual. In Powerless, she says that in order to search for Alejandro, she needs a picture of him or something she could use to think about him.
- Chandra Suresh assembled a folder in the Genesis files about this power. He also wrote in his journal about a potentially clairvoyant woman he met in 1978.
