Personajes
El Haitiano es el único personaje conocido en poseer dicha habilidad.
Límites
EL Haitiano puede interferir haciendo perder sus poderes a otros humanos evolucionados. Este poder parece ser más efectivo contra habilidades que requieren concentración activa (como la telepatía, persuasión, telekinesis, y manipulación del tiempo y el espacio) y menos efectivo contra poderes que son pasivos o se activan invluntariamente (como regeneración espontánea, invisibilidad, y radioactividad inducida). Este poder no requiere una línea de visión y puede que no requiera conciencia del objetivo; el inhibe la telepatía de Matt Parkman en el estacionamiento de Primatech Paper Co. cuando puede que no supiera que Matt estaba allí. La interferencia puede ser incluso un poder pasivo--uno que está constantemente activo sin necesidad de concentración o esfuerzo--aunque el puede, aparentemente, elegir no interferir con ciertos poderes.
La interferencia del Haitiano no es insuperable; mientras que Matt no obtiene otra cosa que "estática" cuando intenta leer la mente del Haitiano, a veces puede obtener una palabra o dos de la mente del Sr. Bennet a pesar de la interferencia del Hatiano. De todas formas, cualquier poder que requiera concentración queda drásticamente limitado dentro de un radio no especificado alrededor del Haitiano.
Otro aspecto del poder del Haitiano es la habilidad de afectar la memoria humana. Puede inducir a una persona a que recuerde un conjunto de memorias relacionadas (It Takes a Village, Part 4). También puede remover memorias selectamente de eventos específicos o períodos de tiempo. Mientras que aparentemente necesita tocar de cierta manera al individuo cuya memoria va a ser alterada, el ha mostrado que puede dañar seriamente las memorias de numerosas personas sin contacto físico (It Takes a Village, Part 2). En La Línea, Noah le explica a Ivan que el Haitiano puede remover recuerdos específicos, insinuando que esta habilidad era previamente desconocida para Ivan.
Borrar memorias tiene efectos secundarios dañinos. Ha sido asociado a dolores de cabeza y desmayos, como en los casos de Matt Parkman, Theodore Sprague, y Sandra Bennet. Los borrados múltiples de memoria parecen ser especialmente dañinos para el individuo. El Haitiano ha borrado porciones de la memoria de Sandra Bennet "muchas veces" (Caída), y Sandra ha desarrollado un hematoma subdural en el área de su cerebro que controla la memoria (Inesperado). Los síntomas incluyen jaquecas, tics faciales, desmayos y amnesia intermitente tan severa que a veces no reconoce a su perro o su hija (¡Corre!).
El Haitiano no puede restaurar una memoria que ha sido borrada (Godsend, It Takes a Village, Part 4), y no ha demostrado ninguna habilidad de crear falsos recuerdos.
De acuerdo al Haitiano, su propio estado mental/emocional afecta el potencial de su poder (It Takes a Village, Part 4).
Mientras que es extremadamente extraño, es teóricamente posible "curarse" del borrado de memoria del Haitiano. Luego de que el Haitiano borrase la memoria de Peter, Adam lo alentó para que use su habilidad de curación para recuperar las memorias afectadas, sugiriendo que el cerebro está dañado. (Cuatro Meses Atras).
Poderes Afectados
The Haitian's ability to block other special abilities does not seem to be equally effective against all other evolved human abilities. Why the power is more effective at blocking some abilities than others is unclear.
Powers known to be significantly affected include:
- Empathic mimicry
- Persuasion
- Space-time manipulation (in a possible future)
- Telepathy
- Bliss and horror
- Telekinesis
- Lightning
Powers that have not been noticeably affected include:

Citas Memorables
"Relax. Nothing's gonna happen to your wife because she's not gonna remember finding anything. There's a boy we discovered in Haiti."
"He can make her forget?"
"He's really something. He's mute. When we asked him to describe his ability, he drew a picture of himself pulling memories like little grub worms out of someone's head. I want to put it on the front of my fridge. When he's done, make sure you thank him for saving Sandra's life."
"Memories, moments, hidden like jewels scattered in a muddy field. But I could find them. I could find them and show them to him, in all of their radiance."
Notes
- Though he is with a detained Nathan Petrelli, the Haitian is unable or unwilling to prevent Nathan from flying away. (Hiros)
- Though he is only feet from Peter Petrelli and Claude Rains, the Haitian does not prevent them from being invisible. (Unexpected)
- He never tries to stop Ted's radiation in Company Man. In the commentary for that episode, Bryan Fuller admits that they have "played fast and loose" with the Haitian's ability and says that they had considered including a line explaining that he cannot suppress Ted's ability.
- Sylar became unconscious when the Haitian grabbed him in Homecoming. It's not clear whether this event was related to his mental manipulation powers or was simply in response to Eden's suggestion to sleep.
- In an interview, writer and co-producer Aron Coleite said in regards to the Haitian's powers, "I think that it’s more of an on-and-off thing. He has very good control of his ability. I think that he’s able to turn it on and off. You’ll find out that the Haitian has been using his ability for a while. He’s adept at using his ability."
- The Haitian's power may have the ability to knock out individuals. After an encounter with the Haitian, Matt, Ted, Sylar, and Nathan were all subdued in some way or another. However, in each case, an alternate explanation was given (for instance, Mr. Bennet told Matt that he was drugged). Ultimately, not enough evidence is available to draw a conclusion as to the full extent of the Haitian's powers.
- Sylar has a flashback of Charlie and the Burnt Toast Diner (Road Kill). Artist Jason Badower theorized, "[The graphic novel] confirms Sylar has Charlie's memory... He was immune to the Haitian's 'Jedi Mind Tricks'."
- In an interview, Joe Kelly discussed the Haitian's first manifestation of his power: "I figured that in his emotionally charged state, the Haitian's powers went 'off the charts' because he knew nothing about control. Since it had such terrible results for him, I think he'd instinctively be much more about control after that discovery."
- It is unclear if the Haitian ever tried to remove Sylar's memories. A preview for Godsend includes a shot of Sylar lying on the floor of his cell with Mr. Bennet saying, "He is to have no memory of Claire," but this line does not appear in any aired episode. Regardless, Sylar does not appear to have lost any memories.
