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.
Sylar says to Luke that he knows that he isn't lying, and suggests that Luke only thinks that he knows where to find his father. This suggests that the ability can only detect lies that the liar knows is not true. It is unknown whether the ability works on a physiological level or a mental level.
The range of this ability is unclear; Sylar has been seen to detect lies from a distance of approximately 2 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 also remarks that her ability must be a burden to her, which suggests that Sue had no control over her ability.
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.
Examples
-
-
-
-
Martin Gray says something about Sylar being his son, and Sylar detects a lie. He immediately knows that he is not Martin's son.
