About
Unexpected
Mr. Bennet and the Haitian use infrared goggles to watch Claude and Peter on Charles Deveaux's rooftop. Mr. Bennet fires a taser at Claude and incapacitates him. The Haitian tries to shoot Peter with one, but Peter manages to stop time right before the shots reach him; the probes suddenly drop to the ground. Claude and Peter escape.
Fight or Flight
Bob hands Mohinder Suresh a taser gun, stating that it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. Bob also mentions the fact that some people with abilities aren't able to control the abilities and they need to be taken care of. After Niki bursts through and chokes Bob, Mohinder fires the taser at Niki to subdue her.

Graphic Novel:Root and Branch, Part 1
Several Company agents use tasers during a big bag and tag mission to collect several rogue duplicates worldwide: Thompson, Jr. uses his taser on a duplicate in a base in Antarctica, Devin brings his taser to capture a duplicate in a bar in Australia, and Sabine tries to tase a duplicate in a shack in Congo.
Notes
- The TASER fires a small dart-like electrodes with attached metal wires that connect to the gun, propelled by small gas charges similar to some air rifle propellants. They can reach about 30 feet and delivers a 50,000 volt charge to temporally incapacitate the body.
- In Unexpected, Mr. Bennet and the Haitian is using the TASER M26. In the future Matt is using the TASER X26 (Five Years Gone), which is also the same model Bob gives Mohinder in Fight or Flight.
Trivia
- TASER is actually an acronym for "Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle"; it is now considered a word as well.
Continuity Errors
- Throughout the series the characters who get tased immediately becomes unconscious, yet when in reality the TASER only affects the central nervous system so that no muscle activity can be controlled, the TASER does not effect people to go unconscious.
