Character History
The Second Coming
In Noah Bennet's house, Sylar, while stalking & hunting Claire throughout the house, finds a collection of evolved human files in one of Noah's boxes, one of which is on Flint. Sylar remarks the files are a "shopping list" of new abilities, and intends to take Flints' ability, as well as the other prisoners.
While in his cell, Flint repeatedly attempts to escape by using flames from his hands against the glass. These attempts failed, and left the inside of his room effectively burnt in some areas.
The Butterfly Effect
When Elle Bishop approaches Noah Bennet's cell to release him, Flint notices Elle walking by and attempts to chat her up, but Elle shirks off his irreverent comments.
Within minutes, Sylar arrives, and battles Noah and Elle. Elle ends the battle by unleashing a massive discharge that blows out Level 5's grid, releasing a dozen prisoners. As Elle lies injured and drifting in and out of consciousness on the ground, Flint is seen being pulled away by Benjamin "Knox" Washington, with Flint protesting he "wanted some fun" with Elle.
Much later, Flint and his fellow escapees arrive at a gas station and, while stealing a car and using it to escape, they effectively massacre all the other tenants there. Flint takes great pleasure burning a woman to the bone, before getting in the vehicle and leaving.
Evolved Human Abilities
Flint has the ability to create and control fire. Unlike Meredith and Maarten, Flint's fire is blue which suggests that the temperature of his flame is exceedingly hot. Using his ability, he has scorched the thick glass in his cell in Level 5 as well as burning a woman alive.
According to his assignment tracker profile, Flint's control index is 80%. His data analysis shows his biological level at 30, cerebral at 15, elemental at 90, and temporal/spatial at 25. It should also be noted that the diagram included in the profile shows Flint's left hand with a positive symbol (+) and a much larger flame, while his right hand has a negative symbol (-) and a smaller flame.
Notes
- According to his assignment tracker profile, Flint is 5'10" and weighs 175 pounds.
