Limits[]
Sam Parkman[]
Sam's ability will be passive and he will not be able to control it, though he will eventually learn to hide when he experiences a vision. It will produce a vision whether someone is going to die, usually appearing a few days before the death, and repeating until the death occurs. The visions will usually display the death of a loved one, but sometimes can also show a death which will occur near him, or will otherwise involve him sometime. The visions will never show his own death. A vision doesn't mean that a person is certain of dying, but it does mean that the events which would cause the death will happen - it is still possible to interfere and save them. A vision can also show a past death if time travel will be involved. The clarity of the visions can vary, as sometimes they will show every detail, and sometimes they will only show enough to identify a location, or to identify the victim.
Future Jessica Sky Petrelli[]
Jess gained this ability from Sam, and therefore has similar limits to his. She is known to have experienced visions of her father's death before she travelled to save him, displaying both the capacity for interference and the capacity to see past deaths with time travel involved.
Peter Petrelli[]
Peter is yet to display this ability, but ought to have similar limits to Sam.
Robert Max[]
Robert too should have similar limits to Sam.
Dean Petrelli []
Dean will be able to experience visions of the deaths of others. He will normally experience these visions as soon as the events which will cause the death are set in motion, meaning that he could foresee one death months beforehand but only get a few seconds' warning for another. He will also normally know the person he sees dying. The visions will override his perception of his surroundings, forcing his eyes to close, and the experience will be slightly painful for him. It is unknown if he could alter events to save the victim, or if a visions will mean that the death is then inevitable.
