Genetic Healing

From The 4400 Wiki, a fan encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

Genetic Healing is a promicin-induced ability that allows its user to repair genetic defects, problems or disorders. The ability is activated by concentration, as it's user can "feel" the damage to the chromosomes and command the broken genes to repair themselves. The ability is also, however, greatly limited, as it can only work on un-born children in utero, and the ability itself is a straight-swap: for every set of chromosomes healed, the user's mutate slightly, which with time causes insomnia, heart disease, spinal irregularities, and ultimately death within a year (if constantly used).

4400 Edwin Mayuya had this ability.
