Transducer
Transducer Alphas are human antennas that have the ability to intercept communications and encrypted messages with their minds. They can literally "see" electromagnetic wavelengths but have also been shown to hear noises produced from the frequencies that even Rachels synesthesia can't hear.
Traits
Edit
- Sensitive
- irritable
- Intelligent
Analysis Edit
Transducers can read a wide range of frequencies but can become easily overwhelmed when they are unable to turn these signals off. Using this ability also producses headaches if the person uses it continuously for extended periods of time.

intresting....

who is spike

Where did Spike Uchiha come from?

I think Alpha we saw tracking Danni in the last episode

The nature of this ability makes you wonder as to what other kind of other Transducers exist. With Influencers, there are those who disrupt frontal lobe neuronal connections to enter one in a suggestible state, (Nina), who release pheromones (Matthew), who induce oxytocin production in another (Elkhart), and who plastically change the brain to force commands/ideas (Ghost). For Hyperkinetics, you may have a focus on the physical aspect (Cameron) or the temporospatial aspect (Marcus). With Hyperadrenals, one can probably specialize in speed as Bill does strength.
But what other kinds of information/energy could the brain possibly transduce into electrochemical energy in the brain as Gary does telecommunication wavelengths?

This is a long shot, but I will take a whack at it. First off, since Gary is the only transducer as of yet a lot of the characteristics of a transducer are directed toward him. Thinking out of the box I stripped down the definition to "...have the ability to intercept external data with their minds." Now at this stage pretty much any human would be a transducer since our brain literally processes external data. I was thinking though that maybe an Alpha who could see different spectrums of light. Since Gary could tech. see these radio and microwaves and interact with them I wonder if there are possible transducers who can see UV or IR wavelengths and somehow interact with them. A possibility. I have been wondering if these abilities are unique to each Alpha, much like a fingerprint, or if they are more common mutations, like recessive alleles. Just because no one has a repeating ability yet doesn't mean it won't happen.

@jedward i like your ideas. i was thinking along those lines about transducer extending to visual powers like UV, IR, or Xray visions. i also think mind reading could be transducer type able to intercept brainwaves of others
-
Cool! Transducers are awesome! Although, I wonder if all of them have the ability to block influencers. It had been mentioned in the show that Gary is not affected by Nina's abilities.
-
I also think this may be because he is autistic.
-
@ Jedward: Well, in that case, that makes him cooler then! ^_^
-
This is due to his autism not his ability; Rosen makes a reference to it in the very first episode even though the comment is not directed at Gary himself but at Bill and Nina.
-
Man, I would love to have TRANSDUCTION. Be like a mega-stalker. Watching people via global satellite equipment, listening in on phone conversations, cool.
-
A lot of these traits seem to be more linked to Gary's autism rather than his Alpha abilities. How do we separate the two?
-
You have to look for the subtle hints that seperate the two.
-
perhaps the autism is a result of the ability. Each alpha ability comes at a price mentally; hyperkinetics are emotional and easily thrown out of balance, hyperadrenals are aggressive and angry. Why can't an ability that alters the perception and analysis our brain goes through with electromagnetic waves do the same with our perception and analysis of... well, everything else?
