==Character History==
===[[Episode:Brave New World (HR)|Brave New World]]===
===[[Heroes Reborn]]===
In [[April 2015]], Tommy looks nervous as he and [[Anne Clark|his mother]] arrive at the [[Canada|Canadian]] border. Tommy is worried about the border patrol potentially discovering that he is an [[evo]], and the attitudes of Canadians towards evos in general. Anne tries to reassure him by telling him that Canadians are nice, but Tommy replies that she said the same about the people in [[Denver]]. Tommy's fears are confirmed as they witness an evo woman be swabbed and tazered, causing Anne to violently turn the car around and drive away.
''For an episode-by-episode summary, see '''[[Tommy Clark/Heroes Reborn|Tommy Clark: Heroes Reborn History]]'''.''
 
On the [[June 13th, 2015|one-year anniversary]] of the [[June 13th, 2014|June 13th disaster]], Tommy visits an [[Evos Anonymous|evo support group]] in [[Chicago]], hoping to get advice on how to deal with life as an evo. He is disappointed when its members are generally unhelpful, and has to leave the group early when he receives a text from his mother telling him to come home. In his rush to get on the bus, he accidentally knocks over a [[delivery man]] while [[Caspar Abraham]] looks on. A few minutes later, everyone at the support group is killed by [[Luke]] and [[Joanne]], who decide to go after Tommy before burning the church down. Caspar saves Tommy from getting into trouble with the police by visiting the delivery man he knocked over and [[memory storage|removing the memories]] he has of Tommy.
 
The next day at [[Pinehearst High School|school]], Tommy is punched by [[Brad]] when he catches him staring at his girlfriend, [[Emily]]. Emily takes pity on Tommy and offers him a job at [[Moe's Ice Cream Parlor]]. Tommy accepts, and the two quickly become friends. While there, Tommy notices Luke Collins sitting at a table and recognizes him as a survivor of the church fire the previous night. Tommy approaches Luke and asks him what happened. They are immediately joined by Joanne, who shows Tommy her gun and tells him to step outside. Sensing that something is wrong, Emily follows them and calls out for Tommy. Joanne decides to kill them both, but before she can, Tommy [[space-time manipulation|teleports]] her gun away, then her and her husband. Knowing that Emily now knows he is an evo, Tommy runs away. Emily follows him in her car and tells him that his secret is safe with her.
 
===[[Episode:Odessa|Odessa]]===
Tommy and Emily sit in a gardening shed outside [[Pinehearst High School]] and discuss the workings of [[space-time manipulation|his ability]]. Tommy demonstrates it by teleporting away a flower in Emily's hand, but is seen by [[Brad]]. When Emily leaves, Brad confronts Tommy and tells him that he'll have to do something for him if he wants to keep his power a secret. Tommy agrees, so Brad takes him to [[Brad's home|his home]] and tells him to make [[Don|his stepfather]] disappear. Tommy contemplates doing it but is ultimately unable to, choosing to flee the house instead. [[Caspar Abraham]] watches Tommy flee from inside his car and determines that something is wrong. Caspar walks up to Brad's house, gains the attention of Don, and then begins to [[Memory storage|remove his memories]]. When Brad gets back, he sees that his stepfather is missing and assumes that it was Tommy's doing. Eternally grateful to Tommy, Brad befriends him and leaves.
 
Later, at [[Moe's Ice Cream Parlor]], Emily discovers the flower that Tommy made vanish inside a bucket of ice cream. She deduces that the things Tommy makes disappear go to wherever he is thinking of. She tells him this, and he agrees.
 
===[[Episode:Under the Mask|Under the Mask]]===
Hoping to impress [[Emily]], Tommy does pushups in [[The Clarks' home|his bedroom]], but is caught by [[Anne Clark|his mother]]. Anne jokingly asks him who the girl he is doing pushups for is, but he doesn't tell her. Anne notices that he is getting ready to go out. When she asks where, Tommy replies that he is going to [[Brad]]'s to play videogames. Anne tells Tommy that he is staying inside because he doesn't like that he is lying to her, but Tommy [[space-time manipulation|teleports]] away nonetheless. Tommy spends the next few hours at Brad's party, but decides to leave early because he isn't too keen on beer. Emily follows him out, and Tommy offers to walk her home. Moments later, Tommy and Emily see Anne holding a gun to [[Caspar]]'s neck, who has been watching Tommy from inside his car. Anne demands that Tommy get in her own car, and they both leave. Anne refuses to answer Tommy's questions, instead insisting that they have to leave [[Carbondale]]. They are suddenly hit by another car when Anne turns a corner.
 
===[[Episode:The Needs of the Many|The Needs of the Many]]===
Tommy comes to in the overturned car and checks to see if [[Anne Clark|his mother]] is okay. When he sees that she is injured, he [[space-time manipulation|teleports]] himself out of the car, and then his mother to a [[St. Peter's Hospital|‎hospital]]. Tommy later goes to the hospital himself to see how she is doing, and [[Emily]] and [[Brad]] meet him there. [[Dr. Lopez]] approaches them, and tells Tommy that Anne needs a blood transfusion, but that the hospital is short on blood matching her blood type. Tommy offers to donate his own blood, so Dr. Lopez takes a sample to have it tested to see if it is a match. Unfortunately, it is not, so Tommy has to teleport to a hospital in Indiana to get some. When he returns, Dr. Lopez tells him that his blood sample was entered into a federal database as soon as it was discovered that he is an [[evo]]. Tommy runs with Emily, but their escape is blocked by [[Agent Cutler]], who tells Tommy that if he disappears, Anne will not get the transfusion she needs.
 
===[[The Lion's Den]]===
Tommy is registered into the [[ATF Evo Division]] database and injected with a tracker. He is then questioned by [[Agent Cutler]], who asks him various details about his life, some of which Tommy doesn't even know. When Cutler accidentally reveals that Tommy is adopted, Tommy [[space-time manipulation|teleports]] away to tell [[Emily]] what he has learned. Before Cutler can pursue Tommy, [[Caspar Abraham]] arrives in his office and begins to [[Memory storage|extract Cutler's memories]] of Tommy. When Tommy tells Emily that [[Anne]] lied to him about him really being her son, Emily tells him that he has to give Anne a chance to explain. Following her advice, Tommy teleports to Anne's hospital bed and asks her why she lied to him. Anne tells him that, despite them not being related by blood, Tommy has always been her son and that will never change. [[Caspar Abraham]] arrives in the room, much to Anne's horror, and offers to answer a few of Tommy's questions. Tommy learns that Caspar has been following him for almost a year because he is destined to help save the world. Overwhelmed by this statement, Tommy teleports away.
 
===[[Game Over]]===
Tommy [[space-time manipulation|teleports]] into [[Emily]]'s [[Emily Duval's home|bedroom]]. Emily immediately asks him what he's discovered, but Tommy ignores the question and asks her if she wants to go somewhere instead. She agrees, so he teleports them both to the base of the [[Eiffel Tower]] in [[Paris]]. However, when they try to enter the tower, they find that the armed guards there are scanning for [[evo]]s. Tommy submits himself to the scanning process and tries to reason with the guards that he is not dangerous, but he only aggravates them more when he accidentally threatens them. When one of the guards calls for backup, Tommy teleports Emily onto a nearby boat. Emily berates him for acting so foolishly. To explain his impulsive behavior, Tommy tells her that it is his supposed destiny to save the world. Emily sighs and tells him that she wants to show him something.
 
Emily takes Tommy to a nearby book stand, where she shows him Issue #31 of ''[[9th Wonders!]]'' and encourages him to embrace his destiny, just like his favorite superheroes did. They notice that one of the characters on the cover looks like Tommy. Tommy tells Emily about the rumors that the [[Isaac Mendez|artist]] of ''9th Wonders!'' was an evo and that all of his drawings [[prophecy|eventually came true]]. Tommy tells Emily that he is ready to go back now and he teleports them both back to her room.
 
Back in Emily's room, Emily removes the tracker in Tommy's arm, and Tommy teleports it to [[Antarctica]]. Tommy tells her how he feels when he's around her and they kiss.
 
===[[June 13th, Part One]]===
On [[June 13, 2014]], [[Claire Bennet]] dies giving birth to twins. [[Angela Petrelli]] informs [[Noah Bennet|Noah]] that according to one of [[Angela's dreams|her visions]], one or both of Claire's children will be responsible for saving the world from the coming [[The H.E.L.E.|H.E.L.E.]]. To protect them and to make sure they have their abilities in time, Noah and Angela decide to protect them by having [[Hiro Nakamura]] take the children [[Space-time manipulation|into the past]]. Angela names Claire's son Nathan after [[Nathan Petrelli|his grandfather]] and Noah names Claire's daughter [[Malina]] after his own mother. Hiro takes Angela and the children back to 1999 as they will be fifteen when the time comes, the age Claire got her ability. Noah plans to erase all security footage of their existence to help further protect them and realizes that Nathan and Malina's existence is the reason he had his memory erased: to protect them from [[Erica Kravid]].
 
Shortly after the bombing, Tommy watches a news report on his computer when his mother comes in to tell him she will be back in an hour and celebrates his birthday with him with a cupcake. His mother tells him that its starting and Tommy promises her that he's ready that his father taught him everything he knows. Tommy's mother agrees and hugs him, calling him Nathan and revealing that Tommy is actually Claire's son.

Thomas "Tommy" Clark is an awkward teen who just wants to be normal and win the girl of his dreams, Emily. However, he finds that normalcy is virtually impossible after discovering his ability to teleport. He finds his new power terrifying because he knows it means he'll be persecuted as an evo, and that he is tired of moving from town to town. His friend and crush Emily helps him see his ability from a more positive perspective. Unknown to Tommy, he is the time-displaced son of Claire Bennet and the twin brother of Malina. He is an evolved human with the ability to absorb the powers of other evos. After discovering his teleportation is actually an aspect of his step-father's stolen power, Tommy gained the ability to freeze time and time travel and began searching for his twin sister to fulfill their destiny to save the world from the H.E.L.E. After succeeding with the help of his grandfather, Tommy returned to a normal life with Emily.

This section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

Evolved Human Abilities

Tommy has the power of ability absorption, something he inherited from his great-grandfather. Tommy has possessed this ability since the womb, draining his mother's power and his step-father's ability. However, he can only keep one power at a time.

Using Hiro's ability, Tommy can teleport any person (including himself) or thing to the location he is thinking of just by touching them. He can also send them through time with a touch and concentration. However, while his absorbed version of Hiro's ability can do the same things Hiro could, his version of the power seems to work in a different way with a different effect than Hiro and other people with the power had. (June 13th, Part Two) Without his memories, he believes himself to be a simple teleporter, but even without his knowledge of Hiro's training, he is able to instinctively freeze time to save himself and Emily. (Sundae, Bloody Sundae) He is later able to unfreeze just his mother by touching her and concentrating. It's indicated that there are parts of his power he has yet to discover as Anne tells Tommy that his father was always amazed by Tommy's power and stated he could do much more with it than Hiro ever could. (Company Woman) Tommy later demonstrated the ability to split himself into two distinct Tommy's, both with the same powers and while linked, able to operate separately of each other. (Project Reborn)

As Malina's twin brother, Tommy possesses the ability to boost Malina's power by holding hands with her and share her power. However, without a conduit, Tommy is unable to safely do so or to any useful effect. Unlike when he takes other abilities, Malina does not lose hers to him during this time nor does Tommy lose his previously absorbed ability as he does not take on Malina's power permanently. (Project Reborn)

Acquired Abilities

Notes

  • Due to being raised by Hiro Nakamura, Tommy could speak Japanese fluently before Caspar Abraham erased his memory of this knowledge. After viewing his memories in the Eternal Fortress, Tommy was once again able to speak Japanese to his surprise as he was unaware he could do so.
  • Tommy inherited his great-grandfather's abilities, though he could only keep one power at a time, similar to Peter's second power rather than Arthur's ability to keep all of the powers he stole. He also stole both rapid cell regeneration and space-time manipulation like Arthur though unlike Arthur, Tommy never used regeneration before he lost it.
  • Like his step-father, Tommy discovers his ability to freeze time in a crisis. His mother later indicates he knew how to use that power before he lost his memory as she comments "I was wondering when you were going to figure that out again" after he froze time around her.
  • Tommy is the second person who meant a lot to Hiro to be time-displaced. The first is Hiro's girlfriend Charlie Andrews who was sent back to 1944 by Arnold on Samuel Sullivan's orders to have leverage over Hiro. Like Tommy, she lived her life displaced from her correct time period.
  • When talking to Noah Bennet about how Noah is the key to stopping the H.E.L.E., Tommy tells him that he followed "the tiniest thread, the smallest butterfly" when trying to figure out how to change the future, something he credits Hiro with teaching him. When referring to changing time, Hiro was always afraid of "stepping on too many butterflies." At the Odessa Unity Summit, Hiro tells Noah that they have to find "the smallest thread" to pull, the one that will unravel the least.
  • Tommy, perhaps unintentionally, paraphrases Future Hiro's message when he tells Noah "save you, save the world" when explaining how he discovered Noah was the key to stopping the H.E.L.E. It may have been at least partially intentional though as Tommy's favorite 9th Wonders! character is noted to be Hiro so he presumably is aware of the message.

Trivia

  • Tommy is one of the youngest people ever known to manifest an ability. He stole his mother's ability soon after being conceived. While in utero, Claire became nauseous, something she had never experienced since she developed her powers. (Save the Cheerleader, Destroy the World, Chapter 24)
