Electrical absorption

Electrical absorption
A teenage patient releases absorbed electricity.
Held by:	Teenage patient
Ability to:	Absorb and release electrical energy

Electrical absorption is the ability to absorb electrical energy and release it in direct electrical arcs.

Characters

• A dying patient in a New York City hospital has this ability.

Limits

The teenage patient releases uncontrolled electrical arcs and electromagnetic pulses at unpredictable intervals. He appears to absorb energy from nearby electrical systems and release it whenever the charge reaches an unspecified threshold.

Examples

• 
  Mohinder visits a teenage dying patient who exhibits this power...
• 
  ...at a hospital in New York City. (Blackout, Part 1)
• 
  Afterwards, the patient still exudes a bit of electricity...
• 
  ...and he uncontrollably exudes the power, stopping a Primatech agent with ill intentions. (Blackout, Part 2)
• 
  He attempts to end his own life.
