Characters
Confirmed
- Molly Walker is the only character known to have this ability.
Unconfirmed
- According to Chandra's journal, a woman in Connecticut has this ability (Seven Minutes to Midnight).
Limits
Molly can see visions of people by thinking about them. She can also see glimpses of what that person is doing.
Molly can locate any person upon whom she concentrates. She can then indicate the person's location on a map. She was able to pinpoint Matt's father to a specific room in an apartment building. Molly apparently needs to know something about a person before she can locate them. She asked Maya for a picture of Alejandro that she could use to search for him (Powerless), but Noah believed that she could find West given only his name (Cautionary Tales).
The manner in which Molly uses her clairvoyant powers to locate Maury Parkman's apartment suggests that she actually has an "out-of-body experience" while using her powers, although she is able to maintain consciousness in two places at once. (The Kindness of Strangers)
Molly was unable to find the late Alejandro, showing that she is unable to detect dead bodies (Powerless). It is unclear whether she is able to locate other non-living objects; she has not yet attempted to do so.
