Later on, while Micah was reading a 9th Wonders! comic, Niki visited her son's private school and is given bad news about Micah’s late tuition from his principal. As Niki left, she saw her reflection moving differently than she was. Haunted by what she saw, she yelled at the image to leave her alone, much to the confusion of her son.

Powers[]

  • Technopathy: Micah Sanders is a technopath with the power to control and manipulate any and all technological machines that are powered by electricity. Initially, his power required physical contact with the device that he intended to influence, but after years of practice and training, his power seems to have grown to the point where he can now manipulate electronics through sheer concentration. Nevertheless, Micah still finds it easier to influence technology through physical touch, but can easily bypass this requirement - at least in cases where the target device is controlled by a networked computer - by using a cell phone.
  • Power Activation (Tentative): In the episode "The Kindness of Strangers," almost immediately after Micah tried to "fix" the broken dreams of his cousin, Monica Dawson, by hugging her body with the same manner of tenderness and concentration as he does when manipulating machines, Monica developed the ability to perfectly imitate the physical talents and skills of others through visual memorization. However, it remains unknown as to whether or not Micah actually activated these latent abilities within her, or if this was merely a coincidence.
  • Intelligence: Micah Sanders is highly intelligent, especially in the fields of mathematics, science and technology. Whilst it is possible that his intellectual genius is unrelated to his technopathic abilities, it seems more than likely that there is at least some connection between the two. Micah has demonstrated on numerous occasions a highly intuitive knowledge and understanding of modern technology with minimal exposure or prior education of the device.
