| Held by: | Benjamin Franklin, 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
- Benjamin Franklin and a dying patient in a New York City hospital have this ability.
Limits
According to Joseph Priestley, Benjamin Franklin told him that during his initial kite experiment, he absorbed enough electricity to kill a normal man from the lightning bolt that struck the kite and traveled down the wet string. He also claimed that afterwards, he released the stored energy by touching his cat.
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... -
-
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.
