| Examples of rapid cell regeneration | |
Rapid cell regeneration is the ability to regenerate cells at an increased rate, resulting in physical injuries healing in a matter seconds or minutes.
Characters
Claire Bennet is the only known character to have this ability.
Limits
This ability does not move displaced parts of the body back into the correct location. After filming the videotape, Claire had to manually re-insert her displaced ribs before the flesh on her ribcage would heal (Genesis), and Peter Petrelli had to manually rotate his broken foot to the correct orientation before it would heal while he was mimicing Claire's power. (Homecoming)
Claire's regeneration will not work correctly if a foreign object obstructs the wound.
This ability is further impeded by foreign objects lodged in the brain. After Brody "killed" Claire, she did not begin to regenerate until the coroner removed the tree branch lodged in her brain. This is presumably due to the importance of the brain in the nature of evolved humans as theorised by Chandra Suresh. (One Giant Leap)
After regenerating, Claire's blood does not return to its place in the body. Instead, she has been seen to be covered with blood; Mr. Muggles even ingested some.
Claire does not seem to experience much pain.
Examples
- Claire recorded a videotape of her seriously injuring herself and recovering from the injuries every time. (Genesis)
- Claire mentions that she has stabbed herself in the chest and shoved a steel rod through her neck. (Genesis)
- Claire had her hand caught and mangled in a garbage disposal only for it to heal completely within a few moments. (Genesis)
- Claire ran into a burning train wreck and returned unscathed. (Genesis)
- Claire is accidentally tackled by a football player, snapping her neck. (Don't Look Back)
- Claire awakened on the autopsy table after a tree branch was removed from her brain, effectively having regenerated back to life. (One Giant Leap)
- Claire survived a head-on collision that hospitalized Brody Mitchum. She walked away without any lasting injuries. (Collision, Hiros)
- Claire did not seem to feel any pain after pulling a tray out of the oven with her bare hands. (Better Halves)
- After Lyle stapled her hand, Claire recovered. (Nothing to Hide)
- Both Claire and Peter completely regenerated from injuries inflicted by Sylar. (Homecoming)
- Claire's hand was accidentally pushed through a plate of glass and healed completely very quickly. (Six Months Ago)
