Mental Manipulation?

It has not been officially stated that Damien possesses Mental Manipulation, but I think it would be logical. He used physical contact to enter Gabriel's mind (much like the Haitian), and, as the name suggests, manipulated Sylar's mind. As we've seen for many abilities (healing touch, space-time manipulation, telepathy, etc), ability development occurs in nearly every power, with the exception of most biological abilities. Mental Manipulation could be used for more than cerebral dampening (the Haitian can search through their memories). I'm not saying that this is definitely the same ability, but it's possible. What do you guys think? --Cerebro 20:49, 20 October 2009 (EDT)Cerebro

• Same problem was with Anna Korolenko's ability: like Haitian, she can erase memories and knock people out, but she hasn't displayed the power negating aspect. Neither has Damien, so his ability shoudn't be MM. Also, the Haitian claims he cannot restore memories. AltesUTC CH

So far, we are shown that he could only bring back forgotten memories and based on what Samuel said to Sylar, "In his hands, your true memories will be returned". Shouldn't a consensus be made for this?--NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 06:28, 21 October 2009 (EDT)

Consensus

Memory Restoration

1. Based on the desctiption--NiveKJ13 (talk2me) 06:33, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
2. Nicely describes the ability. --Radicell 06:37, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
3. Nice and simple. --NuparuMahnika 08:50, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
4. Perfect.--Ratclaws 09:28, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
5. Unless something better comes up. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 10:55, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
6. Agree with the above. (presently). --mc_hammark 12:49, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
7. Sounds fine for now -- Jenx222 · U · T · C 13:09, 21 October 2009 (EDT)
8. Damien restored Sylar's memories, and "returning" sounds like memories were in Damien's possession, and he gave them back. AltesUTC CH

Why when we sturck on naming an ability we put, name's ability, unless we get another 1 with the same ability and if they do have it in a different form and start to debate if it is. Wasn't meant to be rude. User:50000JH/signature
