If a water mimic is somehow incapacitated while using their ability, they will die.	In Under the Bridge, Part 2, Donald Essex is knocked unconscious and then dissolves completely into salt water.	+ If a person is knocked out, their body falls to the floor. If someone's body is made of water, then it would theoretically collapse into a puddle if they were somehow rendered unconscious. - Donald Essex was sprayed with something, it could be a chemical that interferes with the working of his ability. • If Danko had access to a spray like that, he would have carried it around at all times and used it frequently. If Sylar had tried to hurt him, Danko would have used it like mace and taken Sylar down. - The spray could be specific to affect water, Danko's team found Donald's DNA in the water on the prison bus. • The amount of money necessary to manufacture a substance would vastly outweigh its benefits. Also, it would probably take a long time to produce it - more time than it took to track Donald down. • Also, the marker they found is the same for all evolved humans, regardless of their ability. For all they knew, he could have had any ability. Several abilities other than water mimicry (impenetrable skin, teleportation, phasing, etc.) could have allowed Donald to escape the bus unscathed. • In addition, if the government had created a substance which could shut down abilities, they would have outfitted every group of soldiers with the stuff.
