Limits[]
Jeffrey Fallow[]
Jeffrey is able to do anything to save another. He effectively gains any ability necessary to save someone, and then loses it until someone needs saving again. It can range from simple healing to reality manipulation. Salvation doesn't have to mean physically saving someone, it can also be a metaphorical saving. To date, Jeffrey has shown that he is able to manifest a form of tracking to find his girlfriend Anna when she was missing, and a form of access to get past a locked door in rescuing her. He didn't manifest any offensive ability when fighting her captors, but this is likely because the gravity manipulation he possesses naturally was offensive enough in the situation.
Brooke Adams[]
Brooke too can manipulate reality in various ways to save others. She first manifested the ability when she healed her mother from cancer, and originally believed that her ability was healing. Since then, she has also used it unknowingly to prevent a young boy from being run over by a car, and has used it deliberately to save Nick and Daniel Harvard by saving their Atari, Sky Ashford. She also attempted to merely heal the damage of a Guardian bond, but failed. This shows that she must have a plausible method of saving someone, which she merely causes to occur, though she can save a person without any particular method if saving that person would save another.
Nathan Petrelli[]
This ability enables Nathan to find ways of saving others. He cannot use it to save or protect himself. He has displayed the ability when he used it to heal Teagan Niall of the Shanti virus, seemingly eradicating it completely from her body. However, there is a possibility that his actions using this ability could have unforeseen and sometimes negative side-effects or consequences, which could remain dormant for months or even years before they surface. When he saved Teagan, she described the sensation as a thousand little sparks hitting her skin when he used it, but it is unknown if this was just for that particular use. Nathan claimed that he also felt "something" at the time, but didn't describe what. He wasn't initially aware of what he'd done, as he believed it'd been Teagan's doing until she used her truth manipulation to reveal the truth.
