Electromagnetism

A DHS agent produces electricity
Originally held by: Agent
Absorbed by: Peter Petrelli (future)
Ability to: Manipulate and/or generate electromagnetic energy

Electromagnetism is the ability to create and direct electrical arcs as well as levitate using electromagnetic repulsion.

Characters

Limits

Users of this power can generate electrical arcs between themselves and other people or objects within a range of at least a few meters. The amount of current that such arcs can carry is not known. Users of the power are not harmed by electrical currents that they create themselves; it is not clear whether this power gives resistance to electrical current from other sources.

Future DHS Agent

The agent who possesses this power can levitate himself at least a few inches above the ground. How high he can levitate and how fast he can propel himself are not known. He can throw electric arcs that incapacitate people they strike.

Future Peter

Future Peter mimicked the agent's ability and used it to throw electrical arcs. He did not employ the levitation aspect of the agent's power.
