Uninhibited Muscle Power | |
| Silent Fall / int_a60f912c | comment |
Uninhibited Muscle Power: When pushed far enough, Tim is strong enough to break open a locked door. Dr. Harlinger uses this as evidence that Tim murdered his parents after he had already been dismissed as a suspect for being too weak to inflict that kind of damage. | |

Voice Changeling | |
| Silent Fall / int_e1ba59f3 | comment |
Voice Changeling: Tim's "echolalia" is portrayed bizarrely - not only can he repeat what other people say, he can make his voice sound exactly like theirs. He can even come up with his own sentences using other people's voices. Jake explains that Tim uses other people's voices because he's afraid to be himself, which doesn't explain how he can reshape his vocal cords at will. | |
