Electromagnetism
From Heroes Wiki
| Electromagnetism | |
|---|---|
 A DHS agent produces electricity. | |
| Originally held by: | Agent (electromagnetism) |
| Absorbed by: | Peter Petrelli (future) |
| Ability to: | Manipulate and/or generate electromagnetic energy |
Electromagnetism is the ability to create and direct electrical arcs as well as levitate using electromagnetic repulsion.

Characters
- An agent in a possible future has this ability.
- In the possible future, Peter Petrelli absorbs this ability from the agent.
Limits
Users of this power can generate electrical arcs between themselves and other people or objects within a range of at least a few meters. The amount of current that such arcs can carry is not known. Users of the power are not harmed by electrical currents that they create themselves; it is not clear whether this power gives resistance to electrical current from other sources.
Future DHS Agent
The agent who possesses this power can levitate himself at least a few inches above the ground. How high he can levitate and how fast he can propel himself are not known. He can throw electric arcs that incapacitate people they strike.
Future Peter Petrelli
Future Peter mimicked the agent's ability and used it to throw electrical arcs. He did not employ the levitation aspect of the agent's power.
Examples
An agent discharges electrical arcs... |
 ...which he uses to levitate a few inches above the ground.... |
 ...and to attack others. |
 The agent hovers again. |
 Peter mimics the power and uses electrical arcs against Matt Parkman's agents. |
