Limits

Syn Anders

Syn has the ability of altering people's emotions by physically touching them. She can control a myriad of sentiments, both positive and negative. So far, it has been reported that she's capable of inducing happiness, joy, sympathy, anger, depression, sadness and fear. Syn can also control the intensity of these emotions: for instance, the positive emotions she creates can range from a simple smile to extreme happiness. The current emotional state of a person does not seem to pose a problem: she can suddenly move to tears someone who was previously experiencing intense joy. It appears that Syn can also affect multiple people at once: for instance, she can cause an angry mob or let the joy she creates spread to others.

So far, Syn cannot manipulate her own emotions.

Additionally, Syn has learned how to use her ability to persuade and manipulate others by altering their emotional state. She can even lead someone to suicide by evoking extreme depression.

Recently, Syn discovered a new aspect of her ability that allows us to feel the emotions contained in objects. She could feel the same emotions of some characters of a painting (Heroes Evolutions). The full extent of this aspect of her ability remains unclear.

Examples

• After seeing some paintings in Habbo, Syn felt the same emotions of the people in the paintings (Heroes Evolutions).

Notes

• Syn's ability to alter someone's emotions shouldn't be confused with Peter's ability to absorb powers through an empathic level or with Guillame's ability to manipulate sensations.
• Morgan Harvey was mentioned several times to have this ability by The Watcher, but has never demonstrated it. According to her Heroes: Survival profile, she requires physical contact to use it.
