Illusion

Candace morphs into Simone.
Held by: Candace Willmer
Ability to: Manipulate perceptions of reality
Examples of illusion

The power of illusion is the ability to manipulate how other people perceive reality.

Characters

Candace Willmer is the only known character to have this ability.

Limits

Candace has the ability to disguise herself as another person with a nearly flawless illusion. Her ability can apparently fool all five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. When she was impersonating Sandra Bennet, Mr. Bennet literally held her and kissed her without penetrating the disguise.

Candace does not necessarily have to have met an individual she is impersonating. She was able to impersonate Simone Deveaux, although they apparently never met before Simone's death, and Candace had not seen Simone's dead body until after she appeared in her form. How she was able to accomplish this feat is unknown.

Candace can also create illusions in her vicinity. So far, she has been able to hide the presence of a body from police.

Examples

Notes

  • In the episode commentary for Parasite, Allan Arkush and Christopher Zatta discuss Candace's power. Zatta says he believed it was important that Candace's ability be a mental one -- that is, to appear like other characters rather than to physically become other characters -- to be more in keeping with the other powers in the show.
  • Candace states that she can "show [someone] things that would make him want to tear his eyes out". This may be hyperbole on her part, but it suggests that she can create very frightening illusions. (.07%)
  • In the episode .07%, the special effect used to show Candace's power has changed. Previously, it was shown as a "shimmery" effect that impacted much of the area around her. Now, it is shown as a "morph" effect that affects only her.
