Space-time manipulation is the ability to alter the space-time continuum, including chronokinesis (slowing down, speeding up, or stopping time), time travel (moving through time), and teleportation (moving instantaneously through space)
Characters
Hiro Nakamura is the only known character to have this ability.
Limits
All of Hiro's space-time manipulation abilities require active concentration.
Hiro can apparently stop time, causing the rest of the world to freeze while he can still move. When time is frozen this way, Hiro can still interact with objects and even people without them being unfrozen or aware of his activities. Exactly how this ability works is unclear: he may simply be making himself move far faster than everything else.
Hiro can teleport himself through space instantaneously. Such teleports can cover at least intercontinental distances.
Hiro can move himself through time into the future or the past. If moving into the past, he can alter history, but he apparently cannot alter history in such a way that he would eliminate his original cause for going into the past.
Examples
- Hiro teleported himself from Tokyo to New York City, arriving five weeks in the future. (Genesis, Don't Look Back)
- Hiro stopped time to rescue a young girl from a traffic accident, to help Ando cheat at cards, and to save D.L. Hawkins and an unnamed passenger from the explosion of a car. (One Giant Leap, Collision, Nothing to Hide)
- Hiro traveled six months into the past to try to save Charlie Andrews (Six Months Ago)
