This article has been nominated to be split into multiple articles electromagnetism and electricity manipulation / electrical absorption. To discuss the proposed name change, see the discussion page. |

| Originally held by: | Agent; Teenage patient |
| Absorbed by: | Peter Petrelli (future) |
| 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
- A dying patient in a New York City hospital has this ability.
- 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.
Future DHS Agent
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. He can throw electric arcs that incapacitate people they strike.
Teenage Patient
The teenage patient releases uncontrolled electrical arcs and electromagnetic pulses at unpredictable intervals. He appears to absorb energy from nearby electrical systems and release it whenever the charge reaches an unspecified threshold.
Selected Examples
-
An agent uses an electromagnetic field to levitate a few inches above the ground.... -
...and to discharge electrical arcs. (Walls, Part 1) -
-
Mohinder visits a teenage dying patient who exhibits this power... -
-
Afterwards, the patient still exudes a bit of electricity... -
...and he uncontrollably exudes the power, stopping a Primatech agent with ill intentions. (Blackout, Part 2) -
He attempts to end his life.
Notes
- In a forum post, writer Mark Sable called the power that the dying patient has "electrical energy". It is unclear if the dying patient has any magnetic aspects to his power, but it is clear that the agent with electromagnetism does.
