What is it?

Joseph used his power on Doyle in iStory. It looked a lot like mental manipulation. But he didn't touch Doyle to knock him out. So... Your thoughts? AltesUTC CH 14:24, 15 December 2009 (EST)

• I think it is mental manipulation.-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 14:25, 15 December 2009 (EST)
  • Joseph's ability just now, that way if it is mental manipulation we are not wrong, but if it's not, we're still not wrong. --mc_hammark 14:26, 15 December 2009 (EST)
    • Personally I think it's something like Ability Negation, which would explain that Samuel could never reach his full potential.
      • That was because there were too few evolved humans in the carnival to give Samuel a significant boost. My theory is - it's telepathy. Because in Bloodlines he somehow knows which Eli is the Prime. AltesUTC CH
        • Or Joseph just saw prime Eli breathing, i mean it was cold over there so there would be smoke if you breath.-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 14:42, 15 December 2009 (EST)
          • Hey, you are right! One of Elis is indeed shown breathing. AltesUTC CH 14:48, 15 December 2009 (EST)
