Originally held by:	Sue Landers
Absorbed by:	Sylar
Ability to:	Detect when people are lying

Lie detection is the ability to detect if other people are telling lies.

Characters

• Sue Landers had this ability.
• Sylar has stolen this ability from Sue.

Limits

This ability allows the user to sense when someone speaks a lie. Limits are unknown at this time. This seems to be a passive ability.

It is not clear whether this ability depends on sensing physiological variations in the body of the potential liar or if it works on a metal level.

The distance from where lies can be detected is currently unknown but at at least two meters. It is currently unknown if the ability can be used to detect lies from multiple individuals.

Sue Landers

Sue is able to detect Sylar's lie immediately after she is told he's there to make a delivery.

Sylar

Sylar states the user feels a tingling sensation when told a lie; he found this out shortly after killing Sue, when he asked a man on the elevator if there was any problem, to which the man said no (Sylar was covered in blood at the time). He is also able to detect a lie from Arthur Petrelli, realizing that Arthur was not his father.

Selected Examples

• Sue Landers used this ability to determine that Sylar was not at her office to deliver something. She also senses that when he says he won't hurt her, he's lying (Our Father).
• After killing Sue Landers, Sylar uses the ability on an office worker in the elevator, as well as on Arthur Petrelli. (Our Father).
