Healing touch

Healing touch
Austin heals Dallas's wound.
Held by:	Austin
Ability to:	Heal the injuries of other people

Healing is the ability to cause other individuals to heal injuries at an increased rate, resulting in complete recovery a matter of seconds.

Characters

Austin is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Austin has demonstrated the ability to completely heal serious injuries including a bullet wound that went all the way through a man's abdomen and a broken jaw. He has also shown the ability to cure some diseases, such as his mother's liver cancer.

It is not currently known if Austin could have healed Dallas' injury if the bullet was still in the wound. It is also not known if he can heal his own injuries.

Austin apparently needs to be in physical contact with the sick or injured person -- touching the wound, if possible -- for at least several seconds to cause healing.

By his own admission, Austin can not "bring back the dead".

Examples

• Austin heals Dallas's bullet wound. (War Buddies, Part 2)
• Austin heals a Vietnamese soldier's broken jaw repeatedly. (War Buddies, Part 3)
• In a flashback, Austin cures his mother's cancer. (War Buddies, Part 3)

Notes

• It is unknown if Austin's healing power has limits similar to those of Claire Bennet's regeneration power.
• Since Austin did not heal any member of the squad except Dallas, he probably cannot revive the dead.
