Characters

Limits
In a possible future, Ando demonstrated the ability to discharge a powerful point-blank blast which supposedly killed Future Hiro.
Ando injected himself with the Formula and appeared to shoot sparks from his hand, confirming he has obtained the ability. It appears to supercharge others abilities, such as Telepathy and Super speed. When Ando touched Matt, his Telepathy power was increased so much, he could hear every thought in the city. When touching Daphne, she moved so fast she went a few seconds back in time, long enough to witness herself running back in time.
Paulette has the ability to augment other evolved human abilities by touch. She is capable of using her ability to strengthen the abilities of other evolved humans. She activated Lewis's ability against his will, causing him to produce various trees at an astonishing speed (The Kill Squad, Part 3). Whether or not she could alter an ability in other fashions is unknown.
It is unknown whether or not Paulette can augment or affect passive abilities that don't require concentration to be activated, such as omnilingualism or adoptive muscle memory.

Notes
- Future Ando's demonstartion of the ability appears similar in nature to electric manipulation. Whether or not the two abilities are related remains to be seen.
