| ==Limits==
| |
| The limits of what a character with this power may remember are not yet known. To date, all of the examples shown are based on information the user has read; whether other information can be recalled is unknown. However, Charlie did state that she was able to remember things whether she wanted to or not.
| |
| | |
| ===[[Charlie Andrews]]===
| |
| Charlie was able to remember everything she read since she first manifested this power. She was also able to comprehend and use the knowledge gained almost immediately.
| |
| | |
| Charlie has the ability to remember everything that has happened in her entire life. She can memorize books word for word that she read in elementary school. She even remembers the night her parents died in a car crash when she was only six months old. (''[[Saving Charlie]]'')
| |
| | |
| ===[[Sylar]]===
| |
| Sylar was able to read the owner's manual for a tractor-trailer and immediately use that knowledge to drive the vehicle.
| |
| | |
| ===[[Matt Neuenberg]]===
| |
| According to the testing [[the Company]] has done on him, Matt Neuenberg has the capability of remembering great amounts of information. With the aid of a goggle device, Matt is able to store an entire mainframe computer's worth of data and have his [[brain]] be a makeshift backup drive. (''[[Hana and Drucker's Plot Discovered]]'')

| |
| | |
| | |
| "''Very! Good! Memory!''"
| |
| | |

| ==Notes==
| |
| * In a [[blog (Hiro)|blog]] [http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/11/kitty_pride.php entry], [[Hiro]] described [[Charlie]]'s power as being "like Wikipedia, Google, my own Jeeves," referring to popular search engines and online encyclopedias.
| |
| * [[Sylar]] says to [[Peter]], "I remember you." It is unknown whether Sylar was using his newly [[power theft|acquired]] enhanced memory or if he was simply remembering Peter on his own. (''[[Episode:Parasite|Parasite]]'')
| |
| * In an [[interview:R.D. Hall|interview]], writer [[R.D. Hall]] said, "I'd say [[[Charlie Andrews|Charlie's]] power] is more just her remembering anything--whatever she reads, whatever she sees. [[Matt Neuenberg|Matt's]] is all visual...Matt is more like a card reader. You put in an SD card, he'll read it." However, [[Elle]] states that Matt is also an audible learner (''[[Hana and Drucker's Plot Discovered|Hana and Drucker's Plot Discovered]]'').
