Mindy (Ted's mother) is awesome. Her ability isn't confirmed but it allows her hands to glow. I don't think its the same as her sons, but she works with Angela Petrelli and im affriad that the graphic novel will reveal how she dies. Hopefully a hero Also Nathan and Ted knew each other as kids.

DID they?!?!

A:nod: They were playing together whilst Angela was talking with Mindy.

It was a great addition

I wonder what her ability is. Hopefully not the same as her sons, but she did work in a power plant.

You think her job somehow affected Ted to give him his ability?

Im not sure. I think her power must be something to do with radiation, as i think she must use it to save the people. Cus she went to the core to try and save people. Her ability maybe a form of raditation thats probably why she worked their and ran to the core as she thought she could save them (plus her hands glow) and ted may have got the same power if not slightly different.

It's not the same as Ted's - they used a different colour to distinguish. But yeah, I'm guessing it'd be similar

Her ability also can't be as dangerous as his, since she was using it with people present and nothing really seemed to have happened

Im hoping its different than Ted's just a different form of it. Maybe she can absorb radiation. Yeah i noticed that it isn't dangerous, maybe its lumminescence or something?

Luminescence wouldn't protect her against radiation though, or affect it in any way.

Yeah, absorption perhaps?

just maybe a reason why she was glowing

im guessing it is absorbtion, but what radiation could she be absorbing when she was in the office? "thinks" she said that the place was unsafe, maybe when her body glowed in the place it showed her that she was absorbing radiation so she knew the place had a problem. Then when she was getting closer to the core she started glowing more.

Yeah, that'd make sense

Im so clever.

I though Absoorbtion as well, it would make a lot of sense. Although Te'ds ability shown in the previous GN's was green but it's not the same

Her ability is Energy Absorption, she took so much heat from the reactor she created a blizzard. Arthur and Maury introduced too.

sort of a cappy introduction though

More shown than introduced
