Arthur Petrelli
Arthur is able to steal the abilities of other evolved humans through physical contact, although it doesn't have to be skin-to-skin contact. Arthur's ability is not subconscious, meaning that he must concentrate when he wishes to steal the power of another and he can choose to not steal another person's ability when touching them.
