Character History
Blackout, Part 1
At an unnamed New York City hospital, Mohinder meets a dying man who shows symptoms of the same blood disorder that Shanti and Molly shared. Mohinder tells the man that he can cure him by giving him a blood transfusion. Following the transfusion, it appears to Mohinder that it was unsuccessful, and while he is wondering why it worked for Molly but not this individual, the patient suddenly errupts with electricity.
Powers
This person has the ability to create and direct electrical arcs. Mohinder witnessed him emit electricity from his fingertips and face. He apparently has no control over his power; he simply absorbs energy from nearby electrical systems until he reaches a critical point at which the energy escapes as an electromagnetic pulse combined with electrical arcs to nearby objects. These energy releases are not healthy for him; he was hospitalized and near death from their effects when Mohinder found him. He can avoid absorbing energy and suffering from uncontrolled energy releases by staying away from electrical equipment and power lines.
Notes
- According to a forum post from graphic novel writer Mark Sable, this patient is a teen, while the other patient the doctors and nurses help during the blackout is an adult. Also, he is a different character than the electromagnetic agent introduced in the Walls graphic novels.
