| Examples of cyberpathy | |
Electronic communication, or digital communication, is the ability to intercept, generate, and interpret electronic, digital, and radio transmissions with one's mind.
Characters
Confirmed
- Hana Gitelman has the ability of "digital communication".
- Richard Drucker has the ability of "electronic communication".
Unconfirmed
- According to the assignment tracker map, a man in Pakistan or Afghanistan is capable of remotely manipulating electronic data. (Heroes Evolutions)
Limits
Hana appears to be able to "listen" to electronic transmissions with little or no effort. At present, there is no way to tell how strong a signal must be for Hana to detect it. While spying on Dr. Henry Strauss in Tanzania, Hana has to hide just outside his microbiology lab in order to be within range to intercept his wi-fi signals.
Hana can transmit signals to electronic receivers. The range at which she can achieve this feat is limited; however, the device itself can presumably transmit the signal it receives from her normally. For example, she is able to transmit the signals she intercepts in Tanzania across the world to Odessa, TX, but probably uses her satellite phone to do so.
Hana was overwhelmed by the signals she received when she first discovered her ability, but signal overload does not seem to be a problem for her anymore.
Hana can apparently understand electronic messages sent using standard protocols intuitively, but she can not effortlessly decode encrypted messages or penetrate strong information security systems.
Selected Examples
-
At a secret facility in Alaska, Hana perceives an overwhelming flood of signals... -
...and upon waking, Hana is too weak to speak, but she communicates by mentally sending text messages to Mr. Bennet.
(Wireless, Part 2) -

(Wireless, Part 4) -
-
Hana "grabs" the file she needs. War Buddies, Part 1) -
-
Hana's ability is strongest in space, where she electronically communicates with a deadly satellite.
(The Death of Hana Gitelman, Part 2) -
Notes
- Though Hana wanted to have a position in the IDF, she was instead appointed to break codes for the Mossad. She may have unwittingly channeled her untapped powers to aid her in the endeavor. (Wireless, Part 1)
- Hana often uses her power to send messages and update her website.
- Hana hacked into votepetrelli.com, and exposed Nathan as a puppet.
- In their primatechpaper.com tracking files, Hana's ability is listed as "digital communication," whereas Drucker's ability is listed as "electronic communication".
Memorable Quotes
"All the emails, text messages, and satellite transmissions float invisibly around the world. I don't know how it was possible, but I could see, read, sense every one of them. Every FYI memo. Every sappy, 'I love you.' text. Cans and cans of email spam."
- - Hana (Wireless, Part 2)
"I can read and interpret all forms of wireless communication. But I can also send it. Manipulate it."
