|---|---|
| Held by: | Arthur Petrelli |
| Ability to: | Steal other abilities through physical contact |
Arthur's ability allows Arthur to gain the abilities of other evolved humans through physical means, rendering them powerless.
Limits
Arthur seems to need physical contact with a person to use his ability, as he needs Knox to force Adam to touch his hand for him to steal his ability. However, the contact does not seem to have to be skin to skin, as Arthur's hands are touching Peter's shirt when he steals his powers.
Notes
- It's possible that this ability is simply the ability of Aura absorption, as when Arthur drains Peter's powers, an aura like light is seen leaving him, and he may still be alive simply because Arthur chose not to absorb his life force.
