Ability Naming Conventions
The following sources are used for determining evolved human ability names, in order:
1. Canon Sources Episodes
Webisodes,
Graphic Novels,
iStories,
Heroes Evolutions
3. Secondary Sources Episode commentary,
Interviews,
Heroes: Survival
4. Common names for abilities Names from other works
5. Descriptions of abilities Descriptions
6. Possessor's name If no non-speculative
description is possible

Note: The highlighted row represents the level of the source used to determine accelerated probability's name.
Source/Explanation
The Create Your Hero description for Santiago explicitly states that he has the power of accelerated probability.

Accelerated probability?

Is this for the upcoming Destiny webisodes? If so then shouldn't the power be combined with super speed or something (which bugs me; the writers seem to be drifting further and further from the typical "One person, one power" with each new release). -- FlamingTomDude 23:53, 20 November 2008 (EDT)

  • Totally agree. Probability should not mean also being able to run fast. - Rybo5000

One of the most powerful abilities?

Technically couldn't a possessor of this ability find the weakness of anything, solve the unsolveable, etc. He would be a valuable asset to the Company, in finding the successful formula or even the best way of targeting evolved humans?

As we know all abilities devlop, for example, Matt Parkman. Perhaps he can manipulate probability like Domino and Black Cat? If he was, let's say, in conflict with Sylar he could alter the probability of Sylar successfully attacking him with any of his abilities to an extraordinary high probability or if he fell out of a plane - he could alter the probability of him surving to 1(1 is the highest number as far as probability is concerned). --ACDC1989 09:06, 12 November 2008 (EST)

  • The ability doesn't manipulate probability, just predicts it.

My Idea

Hey! I thought of this a while ago.

Mine was slightly different in that time freezes (not literally but for effect) then everything turns green and wireframed. The person then "scans" to find the best possible outcome.

And also coincidentally, my idea also made his ability good as a footballer.
