Brendan Lewis (Heroes)

Brendan Lewis was a Level 5 prisoner and an evolved human whose power over plants was augmented to the point where he was literally transformed into a forest.

Powers
Plant Manipulation: Brendan has the ability to create vegetation from his own body. They can become separated from him or remain on his own body, and he is able to control protruding roots very accurately, as shown when he attacks members of the Company support team. His ability has apparently "mutated" according to Eric Thompson, Sr., as previously, Brendan's body had shown signs of photosynthesis.

According to Brendan's assignment tracker, his ability has mutated on more than one occasion. Besides using photosynthesis, Brendan could initially use his ability to manipulate plants to grow faster. During the next two years, Brendan's ability developed to the point where he could manipulate medium-sized plants and roots, and tissue samples revealed he also experienced increased healing.

After at least a year later, Brendan's ability unexpectedly accelerated to the point where the Company considered him a Level 5 powered individual. His cellular structure and biological systems became more plant-like than animal, and he exhibited extreme regenerative properties. He absorbed energy from photosynthesis and exhibited complete control over any plant life in his immediate vicinity.

Weaknesses
Schizophrenia: Brendan has been described as exhibiting moderate passive-aggressive tendencies, as well as early indicators for paranoid schizophrenia, the latter possibly exacerbated by his species transition and by the fact that he really is being followed by people who intend to conduct experiments on him.

Herbicide and Fire: As Brendan has a plant-like physiology, he is weakened by herbicides and fires, since plants are also vulnerable to both.
