Held by:	Isaac Mendez
Ability to:	Accurately foresee future events
Examples of precognition

Precognition is the ability to accurately foresee future events.

Characters

Isaac Mendez is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Isaac always makes prophecies in the form of paintings or drawings.

When painting a prophetic image, Isaac enters a trance-like state and his eyes become completely white. He is largely unaware of his surroundings in this state. (He did not enter such a trance when making prophetic sketches.)

Isaac has been able to depict the past, the present, and the future. The 9th Wonders! graphic novel that Isaac created (namely, Issue #14) contains events from both the present and future timelines. (See here for more information.)

Isaac has not demonstrated any ability to focus his precognitive abilities: he cannot attempt to predict what will occur at a specific time or to a specific person.

Isaac was initially able to make prophetic images only under the influence of heroin. In Fallout, he overcame this limitation.

It is not known if all the works Isaac creates are prophetic or not.

Examples

Isaac paints and sketches numerous prophetic images.

Notes

• According to NBC.com's interactive map, Byron Bevington also possesses precognition.
