| Lie detection can only detect lies that a person is intentionally making. If they believe what they say is true, the ability will not be triggered. | None | + If this ability could detect any lie universally, it would have to have some form of access to a 'magical objective truth', which has not been seen in the Heroes universe.
+ BTE has confirmed that the ability works by analyzing the lie being spoken, the voice, the reactions of the person who says the lie.

| Lie detection would be ineffective if used against a telepath. | None | • If lie detection is related to telepathy, then attempts to detect lies told by a telepath could cause the 'feedback' effect experienced by Matt when he tried to read his father's mind.
- • If the users have similar skill levels, they might still be able to get something. Peter and Matt suffered feedback, but were still able to hear each other's thoughts.
