D. L. Hawkins - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

D.L. Hawkins has the ability to phase through solid matter, though it has not been confirmed whether he is able to perform this whilst through liquid or gas matter. When he is phasing through something, its surface will warp slightly, like a liquid in slow-motion. D.L. can phase specific parts of his body, such as phasing his arm through a door to unlock it from the opposite side. D. L. can also phase others as long as they remain in physical contact, though his passengers generally experience discomfort.

As evidenced by his threat to Jessica, D. L. is able to revert his passengers to their corporeal state before successfully moving their bodies out of the solid matter - though whether it would be fatal is unknown. He can also use his power offensively. The most prominent example of this is when he kills Mr. Linderman by phasing his hand into Linderman's head and subsequently unphasing it. D.L. is also able to use his powers defensively, allowing objects such as bullets to simply pass through him, as seen in "Fallout". However, he has not demonstrated an ability to "phase out" objects that are already lodged deep inside of him.

D. L. first displays his powers in episode five's on-line graphic novel, which details his escape. While being questioned by police, D. L. snaps when an arrogant officer makes a crude remark about Niki, unwittingly phasing out of his handcuffs to choke the man. Later, after at least one failed attempt, D. L. manages to phase out of his jail cell.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:

    Dear to us are those who love us, the swift moments we spend with them are a compensation for a great deal of misery; they enlarge our life;Mbut dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life: they build a heaven before us, whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It contributes greatly towards a man’s moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate.
    Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)
