Electromagnetism

Electromagnetism
An agent's hand's produce electricity.
Originally held by:	Agent
Absorbed by:	Peter Petrelli
Ability to:	Manipulation and/or generation of electrostatic energy

Electromagnetism is the ability to create and direct electrical arcs as well as levitate using electromagnetic repulsion.

Characters

• An agent in a possible future has this ability.
• In the possible future, Peter Petrelli absorbs this ability from the agent.

Limits

Users of this power can generate electrical arcs between themselves and other people or objects within a range of at least a few meters. The amount of current that such arcs can carry is not known. Users of the power are not harmed by electrical currents that they create themselves; it is not clear whether this power gives resistance to electrical current from other sources.

The agent who possesses this power can levitate himself at least a few inches above the ground. How high he can levitate and how fast he can propel himself are not known.

Examples

• The agent generates an electromagnetic field that allows him to levitate a few inches above the ground. (Walls, Part 1)
• The agent discharges electrical arcs into Peter. He also propels himself off the ground while pursuing Niki. (Walls, Part 2)
• Peter mimics the power and uses electrical arcs against Matt Parkman's agents. (Walls, Part 2)
