This couldn't be explained by super strength. • If an object's weight were decreased to be lighter than air, it could be made to float.

None.	+ This would account for why sometimes users of this ability lift heavy objects manually and, other times, make them float on their own. + If an object's gravity were decreased it could be made to float. - The only known gravity altering ability has vastly different effects.
Abu was present at Mohinder's lecture in Cairo.	None.	+ He lives in Egypt.
Abu will appear in Fugitives.	None.	- Introducing a new character when there is barely enough screen time for the current characters would be a poor decision. It would result in sloppy writing and poor plots.
