| Ability to: | Emit radiation |
| Examples of induced radioactivity | |
Induced radioactivity is the ability to emit radiation and/or induce radioactive properties into objects and people.
Characters
Ted Sprague is the only character known to have this ability.
Limits
Ted has limited control over his ability to emit radiation. When agitated, he appears to emit radiation unintentionally. This radiation can be harmful to people in his vicinity. He seems to be able to emit radiation on purpose, but he apparently cannot consistently prevent himself from emitting radiation. Keeping him calm seems to reduce his radioactive emissions.
The type of radiation that Ted emits isn't clear; he may be able to emit a broad spectrum of radiation.
At close range, Ted can produce enough radiation to bring a glass of water to a boil in just a few seconds.
Examples
- Ted's home shows signs of high-intensity radiation exposure. (Nothing to Hide)
- Ted causes radiation burns on a nurse's arm. (Nothing to Hide)
- While at FBI Headquarters, Ted causes a glass of water he was holding to boil. (Seven Minutes to Midnight)
- Ted escapes FBI custody by blowing up a vehicle. (Seven Minutes to Midnight)
