Limits[]
Ando Masahashi[]
Ando Masahashi used The Formula to give himself an unknown power, it was discovered by Matt Parkman and Daphne Millbrook that his new power is the amplification of anyone's power. Requiring physical contact, Ando is able to physically amplify any power to great magnitude.
It has also been shown that Ando can attack with these powers, shocking his enemies, similar to Electrokinesis. In addition, Ando shows in one of Hiro's travels into the future as being able to produce a red energy blast he used to attack Hiro. It may also be noted that at this time, Ando is wearing a pin with the Pinehearst logo on it.
Paulette Hawkins[]
Paulette can amplify an evolved human's ability to apparently exponential proportions. She demonstrated this ability on Brendan Lewis, when she augmented his ability (an ability which causes the user to become plant-like) to the point where he became an entire forest. She has claimed that she can kill a person if she uses her ability 100%.
