• The German has this ability.

Future

• In a future where abilities can be induced, a terrorist has this ability.

Unconfirmed

Peter has possibly absorbed this ability from The German.(The Butterfly Effect).

Limits

The German's assignment tracker entry displays a diagram indicating his magnetic ability stretches outwards from his head to feet, much like the dipoles of a magnetic field.

Two split images supplied by evsdropr do not show the German's face, but claim to show his ability at work: one image is of his ability applied to the controls of an elevator and the other example appears to be either on a phone booth or entrance. It is unknown exactly what effect the ability had, but in both demonstrations it did create a ripple-like visual distortion in the air similar to one created when a stone is dropped in a pool of water. In the two examples, the ripple emanates from the palm of his hand; different hands are used for each example.

At a Berlin bank, the German uses his ability to squeeze an employee through the metal bars of a teller window (Berlin, Part 1). Later, the German uses his ability to bend the metal support bars of a bed and use them to clamp Gael Cruz to a wall. He is also able to redirect dozens of bullets, which are commonly made with copper and lead, in mid-air after shooting them from an automatic pistol (Berlin, Part 2).

In a voicemail, Ahlrich Dekker describes the German's power as low-grade electromagnetic pulses, with surges coming about 80 a minute. He says the waves are shaped like heartbeats. Further, Dekker says that the EMP was degrading everything for nine city blocks.
