Examples of flight

Flight is the ability to propel one's self through the air. A full list of examples of the power in action follows.

Examples

• Nathan appears to instinctively fly (for what seems to be the first time) when his car is run off the road by Linderman's men. On this occasion, he exhibits no control over his powers, and cannot descend once he has flown above the car. (Six Months Ago)
• Peter has dreams in which he flies around New York. (Genesis)
• When Peter attempts to fly on his own, Nathan sees his fall and flies up to catch him. Still apparently a novice at the ability, he is unprepared for the extra weight and initially begins to fall out of control. Peter then mimics his power and helps stabilize them both. (Genesis, Don't Look Back)
• On the second occasion that Peter mimics the flight ability, he is seen to literally "walk on air", levitating at a constant height without effort (shown by the fact that he doesn't even realize he is doing it until Nathan points it out). (Don't Look Back)
• Nathan flies into a burning building to save a trapped woman (Trial By Fire)
• When threatened by The Haitian and Mr. Bennet, Nathan shows the strongest example yet of flight. As outlined above, this seems to show true supersonic flight, as a distinctive boom is heard, a suddenly condensed ring of humidity appears around him, and Nathan essentially disappears from view in an instant. (Hiros)
• Peter has a dream in which he is a superhero who can fly. (Super-Heroics)
• When Mr. Bennet and the Haitian attempt to capture Peter and Claude, Peter throws Claude off the roof and dives after him to escape. Seconds later, Peter flies through the air holding Claude. (Unexpected)
• In 2011, Sylar, while still under the guise of Nathan Petrelli flies away from the explosion memorial in order confront Peter Petrelli and prevent Hiro from escaping back to 2006. Like Nathan, he also breaks the sound barrier. (Five Years Gone)
• Nathan flies into Kirby Plaza and then flies Peter into the atmosphere to prevent New York from being destroyed. (How to Stop an Exploding Man)
