Limits[]
Rachel Andrews[]
The ability allows Rachel to manipulate human body temperature, in herself as well as in others. She can make herself feel very hot or extremely cold, and can thus enable herself to be resistant to cold or warm weather. It also protects against abilities which affect a person via temperature, such as cryokinesis. She can also use it on others offensively, causing burns or hypothermia. She doesn't always need touch to do so.
Melanie Walker[]
Originally, Melanie was only able to access this ability subconsciously. She was unknowingly using it to optimise her own body temperature, giving herself resistance to coldness and heat, and actually making her unable to perceive temperature changes. She has recently identified the ability and began learning to control it. She is now able to consciously change her own temperature and stop the reflexive use when she chooses. She is also capable of using it on others. She can use it offensively to overheat her victims, and can also give others the same protection against temperature as she gives herself. However, she is not and will never be able to protect fully against the effects of temperature, such as burns; she can only prevent their perception.
Theo Alexander[]
Theo will be able to manipulate his own body temperature and the body temperatures of others. He will need physical contact to do so. Using the ability, he will be able to protect against the effects of extreme temperatures, preventing the perception of heat or coldness and even slowing the development of damage caused by temperature. Additionally, he will be able to alter body temperatures offensively, for example heating the body until the temperature becomes fatal. He will be less aware of temperature changes than other people because of this ability.

Robert has similar limits to Rachel, but has never used the ability.
Peter Petrelli[]
Peter has similar limits to Rachel and Robert. He too is yet to use it.
Jessica Sky Petrelli[]
Jessica has similar limits to Rachel, Robert and Peter.
