Limits[]
Alanna Petrelli[]
Using this ability, Alanna will be able to produce a shield to protect herself. She will be able to raise the shield consciously and it will also appear reflexively if she feels threatened and has enough time to react. The shield will block all physical projectiles, and can be strengthened to also block abilities but this will tire her. She can only include others in this shield if she touches them.
Leila Maitland[]
Leila will be able to consciously produce a shield in order to protect herself. This shield will be faintly visible and will surround her entire body. It will protect her from the effects of other abilities, projectiles, physical attacks, falls, collisions and even weather. However, she will not be able to protect others using this ability. Even if someone else is touching her at the time, the shield will only protect her.
Kyoko Parkman[]
Kyoko's ability will enable her to produce a protective shield surrounding her body. The shield will be visible and will appear like a transparent bubble. It will block projectiles, physical attacks, the elements and the effects of other abilities. However, she will have to create it deliberately each time. She also won't be able to sustain it from much longer than half an hour without becoming exhausted. If she loses consciousness from this exhaustion, the shield will fail. She won't be able to protect others using this ability, even if she was augmented, and if anyone is near her when the shield is activated then the shield will physically repel them away.
