Notes

| D.L.'s power may involve more ways of manipulating the molecules of his body than just phasing. |
None |
+ At the end of the video about Niki and D.L. on the official NBC site, D.L. is called a "shape-shifter".
- - In the same video, they also refer to Niki's power being "Good and Evil", which seems unlikely; Niki Sanders has thus far not revealed any indication that her powers have something to do with the divide between ultimate good and ultimate evil. Therefore, it is possible that the editors simply made an error, since he hasn't displayed any other power than phasing to date.
- + "Good and evil" is a figure of speech, and not literal.
- Mr. Bennet says to Sylar that so far he is the only individual to display more than one power - and in comic books there have only been one or two instances where shape-shifting has also granted the person the power of phasing.
- This show is popular amongst people who do not have previous experiences with super-heroes, so the editors made the choice to put him down as a shape shifter instead of a phaser - seeing as that would be easier for people to understand.
+ Theoretically, D.L.'s phasing should allow him to phase into a liquid and therefore shapeshift because of its liquid properties.
• The video on NBC's site is not canon.

| D.L.'s ability was synthetic. |
Mr. Linderman was experimenting with D.L. and Niki's lives. |
+ It could have been an experiment to see if their child would have abilities.
- Paulette had an ability too, so D.L.'s might not be synthetic.
- • Nathan was born to two evolved humans.
- • Nathan may have had a different ability before he was given flight.
- • Angela said that Arthur was disappointed when Nathan didn't have abilities, but he had the lineage to accept it, so they injected him with the formula.
