inFamous Second Son: How Delsin Got His Powers

● Help me reach 500K! ► bit.ly/subcot
This is how Delsin first discovered his powers he never knew he had on inFamous Second Son. Talk about right place at the right time man.

[@Zay2flyy]

I find it wholesome to see Reggie care about delsin when he was panicking about his powers THATS why your big bros always got you

[@Kokumaru_art]

Delsin isnt a smoke/neon/video/concrete conduit. Delsin is an energy conduit, he absorbs the energy of things around him, including prime conduit powers

[@nathanielvalino3861]

HELLHOUND GAMING that’s what I thought

[@somebody7205]

So does he has his own element? Like some kind if pure energy or something? You know when he used relays he glowed in a color/energy not related to any of the powers obtained in the game

[@nathanielvalino3861]

My best guess is that delsin was born a conduit with the ability to copy other conduit abilities, but he never realised it until he encountered a conduit and copied the ability, the only other symptom that would prove this is how physically gifted he was he shows remarkable speed and strength which is a consistent ability among conduits but that’s just my best guess,

[@PsychothicFlare1]

Nice guess (not trying to be rude btw) but no one is born a conduit but kinda like X-Men there is a conduit gene so u get your powers from absorbing Ray Sphere energy the energy was on Hank along with his powers and Delsin realized he had power copying abilities through skin on skin contact he was actually based on Rouge from X-Men who has the same power

[@markcassar2868]

Or maybe he is one of the many conduits in the game who were effected.. but his power is to copy powers and just that simple lol

[@grimreeper-xe9zy]

@@PsychothicFlare1 if you want to talk bout being born like that your wrong and I my come off rude but think of it this way. If your a guy your born with a thing hanging but if your a girl you don't have one. He was born with the ability to do whatever others can do. He was always around normal people witch means that he never had a chance to change. He was in a loving tribe so he was never bullied to be pushed to hurting others. In reality he was born like that just never knew

[@Tywil714]

The one question i have about his copying abilities is whenever he copies another conduits powers in the begining he is only able to absorb a source of that element is he strictly limited to depending on a blast core to get a new ability of that power or does he have to train his power like with most prime conduits

The whole game could have been avoided if Delsin kept his mouth shut. She thought Delsin was just a coward or scared of the situation like most people would. But him speaking out like that indicates that his scared because he was just lying to her.

[@jamesrichardson5699]

A conduit has the power to control, manipulate, and absorb a single form of matter or energy. Ex: Cole McGrath who was an electric conduit. Had the power to absorb electricity, control it, and manipulate it. This also gave him an extremely high bioelectric current, hence why he can't go into water, and no one can be in water around him. Delsin is not a conduit, but rather a new evolution, or maybe a branch from that genetic line. He is, in terms a compiler not a conduit. He has the power to gather the powers of others, and then use them individually as if they were his own.

[@InfiniteDeckhand]

Interesting line of thought. I feel like there is still a lot more to explore around the conduits in more detail if we should ever get another Infamous game.

[@Fenris2]

Delsin is a parasite he'll probably become the beast

[@jamesrichardson5699]

Eh. Not really. None of the conduits he comes in contact with lose their power nor have their power weakened. Delsin takes nothing from them except a copy of their powers, strengths and weaknesses in tangent with the elements of those powers. The reason why he defeats the people who he touches, is because he's a completely different person than the original. In short he has a different mental fortitude, which is why he can defeat the people who hold those powers with their own powers.

[@arialgamer2593]

How can Cole McGratin take a bath?

[@jamesrichardson5699]

According to the games he's fine with "at worst" waist high water levels, and if the water in question is distilled (pure) water which has absolutely no conductivity what so ever, then he should be fine.

Unpopular opinion: Delsin was born a conduit with the power to copy other conduit abilities but never realized it until he met hank because he never came into contact with another conduit.

[@lonecourierjoeyv2133]

Del has to be the most powerful conduit ever. he may have the lesser powers of the conduits he drained but with time and learning he could essentially be god

[@wethangron9140]

@Pxer there probably is but the thing is if they even know if they are a conduit

[@wethangron9140]

@Pxer the only reason delsin even found out his power was because he accidentally absorpted Hanks power

[@wethangron9140]

@Pxer delsin was like 24 Ish or so and there any so many conduits with a huge variety of powers so it's unlikely that there's a conduit with the same power and has knowledge of its existence

[@wethangron9140]

@Pxer your right about some having a similar power but having the same power is still unlikely and if you search up conduit powers you'll see that there are a huge amount so Yes there might be a similar power it's unlikely that the Exact same power as delsin Edit the list is still huge but I bet that it a extremely small percentage because it's only showing the powers we know of

[@wethangron9140]

@Pxer if there 2 percent of the human population are conduits so much of them don't even know that they are and there a many different types of the same power like pryokinesis for example. A different version of pryokinesis is smoke which is extremely similar they are technically a different power so if there is a conduit with the same power as delsin it probably has a twist on it or they might not even know Delsins power is power abobsaiton there might be a conduit which has force abobsaiton similar but different . I'm not trying to say it's impossible but in my own opinion it's Unlikely there is a conduit with the exact same power as him

The thing that most of you tend to miss is that delson was a conduit before the smoke powers. His power was to absorb other powers. Think about the part where he was escaping to the longhouse when you were using him it felt like he already had powers. Even when he fell there was a sort of smash effect.

[@cyberwolf2383]

I have some theories about how Delsin got his powers and what his original power might be. One theory is that Delsin's conduit genes activated when he grabbed Hank's arm to save Reggie. Another theory is that his conduit genes activated and didn't know until he grabbed Hank's arm. Another theory is that his original power is power absorption, judging from the way he got his powers after he grabbed Hank's arm and how he drained the core relays.

I think it makes perfect sense that he didn't know up until that point because he needs a conduit to use his main actual power copying powers.

[@isbammoi3358]

Maybe it's cause I've watched Heroes too many times, but Delsin's ability immediately came off to me as an Empath. He doesn't just get their ability, he telekinetically gets their story (Hank makes specific not of this), when/how they became a conduit and got the abilities. He connects to them emotionally, which exhausts and basically knocks both parties out. I don't think it works quite the same way as Peter Petrelli, but it always gave me that vibe xD He establishes an emotional connection/psychic link, that's why he has to touch them, and then he can use their powers.

[@whynot2098]

Delsin is like a absorbing conduit he can like absorb other people powers control them and manipulate them its basically like he manipulates their mind to get part of there powers which also makes him gets there memories

[@Dwayne_19K]

I don’t get what’s about it is hard to understand, all conduit’s manipulate and weaponize a unique form of matter or electricity and Delsins unique power is to absorb that energy or matter from any conduit he comes into physical contact with and he can quickly gain some mastery over those new powers with core relays and improve them with blast shards. He’s a power sponge he can pretty much have any power he wants as long as it comes from a prime conduit, which gives him the potential to be the most powerful conduit ever seen
