Precognition

Isaac paints in a prophetic trance
Originally held by: Isaac Mendez
Absorbed by: Peter Petrelli
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. Peter Petrelli has copied this ability (Don't Look Back), and was later able to access it outside Isaac's presence. (Distractions)

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

As of Distractions, Isaac is developing the ability to focus his precognitive powers. He made numerous paintings in an effort to locate Peter Petrelli, but he did not realize that all of them were accurate until he realized that Peter was invisible in them.

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

It seems that Isaac can only know what the future is by painting it because he has to look at what he has drawn. Peter seems not to make any mention of what he saw in the future, so painting the future is the only way to "record" what one sees. (Distractions)

Examples

Isaac paints and sketches numerous prophetic images.

Notes

  • According to NBC.com's interactive map, Byron Bevington also possesses precognition.
  • In Distractions, Peter's eyes glazed over like Isaac's do when he enters a prophetic trance, and Peter again had visions of himself exploding. Peter's visions of the explosion may be linked to the precognitive powers he absorbed from Isaac.

Memorable Quotes

"You think you can paint the future? Paint one without me in it."

- Simone Deveaux (to Isaac Mendez) (One Giant Leap)
