| Electrical absorption | |
|---|---|
 A teenage patient releases absorbed electricity. | |
| Held by: | Teenage patient, Benjamin Franklin |
| 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 naturally possesses this ability.
- Benjamin Franklin is the first (chronologically) known to naturally possess 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. (A Lesson in Electricity)
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. Unlike Benjamin, the patient displayed that he does not require touch to transfer electricity, and can absorb and release electrical arcs through the air. (Blackout, Part 1)
Examples
-
In 1752, Benjamin Franklin absorbs lightning during a kite flying experiment... -
-
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. -
