Quotes
“You know, I can make it a lot worse. I can make it so that you don’t even trust gravity. That you’re so nauseated that you pass out from the confusion. I can induce a migraine. Ever little sound is like a drum beat in your ear. Light, is like looking directly into a flood light. Your vision blurs...I've got all day."
Notes
- Hannah Petrelli mimicked this ability from her father. He later removed all of her dangerous abilities. It is unknown if Hannah retained her vertigo induction or whether it was removed.
