Characters
- Echo De Mille is the only character known to possess this ability.
Limits
According to NBC.com's character reference: "Echo is a sound manipulator. He can mimic or distort sounds, replicate frequencies, and create sonic blasts of devastating proportions.". When he first discovered his ability, he used it to create and alter music in order to advance in his D.J. career (Going Postal).
Echo's main use of his ability consists in a powerful scream capable of blasting his opponents, stunning or even killing them, specially if the sound waves are concentrated: Localized use of the ability into one of the Constrictor's ears was able to kill him (Going Postal, Part 2). However, he can control the potency of his scream, which allowed him to ward off a dog without harming it (Going Postal, Part 1). He can even direct his sonic scream at specific parts of the body, such as the inner ear labyrinth, which can cause nausea and imbalance on his opponents (Going Postal). Echo seems to be immune against his own attacks, but it is unknown if this resistance also applies against other sound sources.
Echo is also capable of producing infrasounds -- sound waves with a frequency too low for the human ear. His only use of them was the reproduction of the "brown note", which had a laxative effect (Going Postal).
Echo seems to need his voice to manipulate sound -- when silenced, he is unable to do so (Going Postal, Part 3). Not surprisingly, his ability also had little effect against an agent that was immune to sound waves (Going Postal). According to NBC.com, "When his fight or flight reflex is activated, his ability to manipulate sound increases greatly.".
