Examples of cyberpathy

Electronic data transception is the ability to receive, understand, and transmit electronic signals without the appropriate electronic equipment.

Characters

Hana Gitelman is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Hana appears to be able to "listen" to electronic transmissions with little or no effort. At present, there is no way to tell how strong a signal must be for Hana to detect it. While spying on Dr. Henry Strauss in Tanzania, Hana has to hide just outside his microbiology lab in order to be within range to intercept his wi-fi signals.

Hana can transmit signals to electronic receivers. The range at which she can achieve this feat is limited; however, the device itself can presumably transmit the signal it receives from her normally. For example, she is able to transmit the signals she intercepts in Tanzania across the world to Odessa, TX, but probably uses her satellite phone to do so.

Hana was overwhelmed by the signals she received when she first discovered her ability. Whether signal overload will continue to be a problem for her remains to be seen.

Examples

• While training at a secret facility in Alaska, Hana detects a text message sent to Mr. Bennet's cell phone before the cell phone receives it. Immediately afterward, she perceives an overwhelming flood of signals. (Wireless, Part 2)
• Upon waking, Hana is too weak to speak, but she communicates by mentally sending text messages to Mr. Bennet and everyone in his organization. (Wireless, Part 2)
• Outside a microbiology lab, Hana uses her powers to spy on Dr. Henry Strauss by intercepting his wi-fi signal. (Wireless, Part 3)
• Hana configures the sprinklers in the Tanzanian U.S. Embassy to spray water at her will. (Wireless, Part 4)
• Hana remembers decoding a password for Mr. Bennet. (Wireless, Part 4)
• In Missoula, Hana "holds" an email in her hand. (Wireless, Part 4)
• Hana communicates with Ted through instant messages. (How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?, Part 1, Unexpected)
• Hana gets wind of danger for Ted. (How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?, Part 1)
• Hana follows a path of emails and wireless communication to find the AWI. (The Path of the Righteous)
• Hana threatens hundreds of pornography subscribers. (The Path of the Righteous)
• While on Route 66, Hana communicates with Mr. Bennet, who is in an Odessa coffee shop. (Family Man)
• Hana apparently frequently uses her power for the Heroes 360 Experience. (Hana's website)

Notes

• Though Hana wanted to have a position in the IDF, she was instead appointed to break codes for the Mossad. She may have unwittingly channelled her untapped powers to aid her in the endeavor.

Memorable Quotes

"My ability is more suited for the urban jungle than this one. Getting passwords. Stealing data. That sort of thing."
