Characters

Confirmed

Leonard Cushing is the only character known to have this ability.

Unconfirmed

According to the Assignment Tracker Map, an unknown robber in Brazil has this ability. (Heroes Evolutions)

Limits

Cushing can produce acids that dissolve metal substances and burn skin. According to his assignment tracker profile, he performs "multi-directional transdermal acid secretion". Cushing seemingly requires active concentration to use his ability and can control the levels of acidity he generates.

Although it was originally presumed that he also used his power to kill Jamie Wu, he vehemently denied responsibility for the murder. (Trust Issues, Part 1)

Examples

Jamie Wu appears to have been killed by a corrosive fluid.

Cushing dissolves part of the metal floor, making a quick escape.

Cushing dissolves a metal pipe.

Cushing leaves a burn on Thompson's skin. (Trust Issues, Part 1)

Memorable Quotes

"Cushing generates corrosive fluid. It's like acid reflux. Of the much more useful sort than most people are afflicted with. And much deadlier."

- Thompson, Jr. (Trust Issues, Part 1)

Notes

In an email, Robert Atkins interpreted Cushing's ability as "acid hands".
It is unknown if the unconfirmed ability "corrosion" mentioned by the Assignment Tracker Map refers to this ability.
