Temporal rewind is the ability to rewind time.
Characters
- John Mulligan is the only character known to have this ability. (Heroes: Survival)
Limits
John can rewind time and redo or relive moments that have already passed. This is limited as it requires more and more energy the further back he wishes to go. Subjects whose actions are affected by changes he makes are able to remember both experiences, although only people who know enough to think about it will be able to recognize it as anything other than déjà vu. When John first started using the ability, he would often pass out from the strain. He also discovered that his subconscious can activate his ability while he sleeps.
Examples
- John rewinds an entire day in his sleep when his power first manifests, then relives the day as a kind of "Groundhog Day experience". (Heroes: Survival)
- John uses his ability to outrun and outfight agents of Primatech and Building 26. (Heroes: Survival)
Notes
- Above examples from Heroes: Survival come from a biography entry on John Mulligan's character page in the Heroes: Survival game, which has been confirmed to be maintained by iStory writer Zach Wilson.
