Freezing works by cooling the temperature of water to freezing point. | None. | • You do need to freeze water to make ice or frost.
+ In The Hard Part, Sylar turns water into snow.
+ When Sylar uses his freezing power, there is a water source nearby. James Walker in Don't Look Back and his own hands and possibly a thin layer of surrounding air in Five Years Gone; the road (with moist Virginia Beach air) in Road Kill, the water from the sink and Hiro's sword (explained above) in The Hard Part. |
Freezing isn't truly cooling, but the ability to absorb all heat in an object, dropping it to low kelvins. | Tracy froze an entire human being solid in a matter of seconds The manner in which this happened suggested that heat was drained rather than ice being generated. (The Butterfly Effect) | • Scientifically, this is what is logical. If most of the powers are based on logical science, then this is how it would work. Hard to explain. Big question is though, where does the energy go? Law of the Conservation of Energy says it has to go somewhere...
• It is possible that the energy is absorbed into the user and then displaced harmlessly into the surroundings in alternate forms, such as the blue glow we have seen when the ability is used. |
Freezing is not the reduction of temperature in an object, but the actual conversion of the chemical composition of matter to H2O, in its solid form ice. | None. | + When Tracy froze the D.C. reporter, his entire body, including his clothes, were frozen, and shattered. This would not have happened as drastically at it did in The Butterfly Effect by merely reducing the temperature of the body, and it definitely would not have happened for the reporter's clothes, made of different cloths. - Decreasing the temperature of his body would have caused surrounding moisture to condense and freeze, the contraction and expansion that the surrounding moisture would undergo could have easily made his body and clothes fragile, furthermore, when the reporter shattered, his insides were displayed as black, presumably from blood and other bodily fluids that would not be there if he had been transmuted into solid ice. • The body is made of mostly water, and ice crystals can form on anything that is frozen.
- Scientifically speaking, the amount of energy that would be used in order to make this happen would be immense.
|
Freezing is a byproduct of telekinesis. | None. | + Scientifically speaking, freezing comes from stopping the molecules of an object from vibrating. - No one who naturally possesses freezing as an ability has ever moved anything with their mind.
|
Freezing, or at least Tracy's, works by inserting cold water (or ice) into the material to be frozen. | Elisa, as a water mimicker, can leave water behind. Tracy demonstrated water mimicry. | + This would explain how Tracy has both freezing and water mimicry.
