Absorbed by: Sylar
Ability to: Recall facts in memory with great accuracy
Examples of enhanced memory

Enhanced memory is the ability to recall images, sounds, objects, and facts in memory with great accuracy, and in seemingly unlimited volume.

Characters

Limits

Charlie was able to remember everything she read since she first manifested this power. She was also able to comprehend and use the knowledge gained almost immediately.

Sylar was able to read the owner's manual for a tractor-trailer and immediately use that knowledge to drive the vehicle.

The limits of what a character with this power may remember are not yet known. To date, all of the examples shown are based on information the user has read; whether other information can be recalled is unknown. However, Charlie did state that she was able to remember things whether she wanted to or not.

Charlie has the ability to remember everything that has happened in her entire life. She can memorize books word for word that she read in elementary school. She even remembers the night her parents died in a car crash when she was only six months old. (Saving Charlie)

Examples

Memorable Quotes

Notes

  • In a blog entry, Hiro described Charlie's power as being "like Wikipedia, Google, my own Jeeves," referring to popular search engines and online encyclopedias.
  • Sylar says to Peter, "I remember you." It is unknown whether Sylar was using his newly acquired enhanced memory of if he was simply remembering Peter on his own. (Parasite)
