Limits[]
Tracy Strauss[]
Tracy has been shown producing sparks with a small amplitude, which then burn and hurt her victim upon contact. She has also tested the ability on electronic devices and metal, and has found that this will short circuit machinery, cause explosions and melt the metal. A larger amplitude used on a person would cause physical damage, unconsciousness and even death. Tracy can control this ability well by now, and can prevent herself from releasing sparks accidentally, but she still usually needs anger or fear to trigger release of a spark as she cannot yet produce them otherwise.
Cain Rushton[]
Cain's ability would have similar effects at each amplitude as Tracy's does. However, he hasn't displayed any of them yet. His control tends to depend upon his mood at the time.
Sadie Maitland[]
Sadie will be able to project sparks from the tips of her fingers which will burn upon contact. Initially, their amplitude will be affected by her emotions but she will later learn to consciously control this. A small amplitude would only cause physical pain while a larger could knock someone unconscious or even kill. She can also use the ability to melt metal and cause explosions. It will be derived from her mother's ability of electrokinesis.
Robert Max[]
Robert has similar limits to Tracy, but is yet to use the ability.
Peter Petrelli[]
Peter has similar limits to Tracy and Robert.
Jessica Sky Petrelli[]
Jess also has similar limits to Tracy.
