Melting
Sylar turns a toaster into a puddle.
Originally held by:	Zane Taylor
Absorbed by:	Sylar
Ability to:	Liquefy solid matter

Liquefaction is the ability to transform solid matter into a liquid state without adding heat.

Characters

• Zane Taylor had this ability.
• Sylar has stolen it.

Limits

Zane Taylor used his power to partially or completely liquefy various objects in his house, including a lamp, a telephone, and a pot. Sylar was able to completely liquefy a toaster.

Liquefaction requires some conscious effort; it does not automatically affect anything the person with the power touches. The maximum amount of mass that can be affected is unknown. Based on known demonstrations, the range of the power is very short.

It is currently unclear whether objects liquefied by this power return to a solid state over time and, if so, how long it takes.

Examples

• 
  The flag on Zane's mailbox has been partially liquefied.
  (Road Kill)
• 
  Zane Taylor's home is also filled with melted objects.
• 
  Zane demonstrates the power to Sylar.
• 
  After taking the power, Sylar demonstrates it to Mohinder by holding his hand over a toaster...
• 
  ...which begins to quiver...
• 
  ...before liquefying into a puddle.
  (Run!)
• 
  At Dale's shop, Sylar demonstrates his stolen power on Dale's "best wrench".
  (Unexpected)

Notes

• While Mohinder, Zane, and Sylar are all careful to step over or around the puddles, shadows and gaps are visible under some of the puddles where they don't meet the tarp, and some of them have thick, rounded edges. It's unclear whether the objects remain liquid, or for how long they do so.
