Sorry if I come off as aggressive. I completely respect and reasonably perceive your observations. I just didn't know the evidence you had just put forth. By "reasonably perceive" I mean that I try to perceive things from the theorist's point of view, and if I had noticed a piece of evidence that could support the theory that I had worked hard to think of. If someone bashed my idea, aggressive or not, I wouldn't upset. I just could understand why someone would be. It has been proven time and time again that even the most calm and collected of people can become miffed if they had thought up something that someone completely bashes and uses a soft-core piece of evidence to support. (If the opposing theory can even be called "supported") You brought forth a solid piece of evidence to support something you had said and I just brought up the fact that it COULD just be simplification. This was inconsiderate on my part, of not only your feelings (potentially. I just picked up a hint of offense on "Fair enough") but extensive research or thought. Again I am sincerely sorry and apologetic if I had come off as aggressive or somehow offended you in some way. I had no intentions of causing you any negative feelings and since my reputation here is already inFAMOUS, I am not only apologising profusely out of sincerity, but redemption. (Recent drama with Jim Logan has blemished my record. This particular incident with him, I take full responsibility for because I had brought up topics that didn't matter or make sense to the topic at hand, Delsin and Abigail's relationship. I was very crude and even used profanity which isn't very abnormal for me, but I hate that it happens. Subjects such as how he lives his life and the wiki being "nothing" are inappropriate and I fully understand the reason for my ban. It was for Intimidating/ Unacceptable behavior, just for the record. I should have respected his point of view and his authority as a administrator. Again I sincerely apologize, Jim Logan) I know how being dismissed in the fashion that I did can feel.
This is an apology from a recent inFAMOUS Wiki Forum that I typed to someone. I guess it applies here too.

Mate I'm not offendend and I don't find you aggresive, you've givin me some good arguments and counter arguments ,which I enjoy, and some new outlooks on the inFAMOUS world with your theorems. Not offended!
Great! Your arguments were really well thought out and eloquently written. Mine contained profanity, weak points and little to no real evidence. I even had the nerve to create whole new laws of the inFAMOUS universe with this evidence and you put forth the best arguments and proof I have ever seen on this wiki. (I really hope I don't type a paragraph or two this time. I have this habit sometimes and I don't want to take up heavy amounts of your time. I can't just be considerate of my time and space for internet exploring.) (Note: I'm glad that you don't find me aggressive because I sincerely don't mean to be. My tone on the internet and grammar errors and modifications can make it sound very mean or rude.) You spent a lot of time writing these and I can tell it distressed you (consciously or subconsciously, if you were knowingly or unknowingly affected by losing all of your words on a former forum post of yours) so it was inconsiderate of me to just come in and use, for the lack of a profound but better word, awful evidence. I'm just glad you liked my points though and saw them as "good". (I have an insecurity problem so they might have actually been good)
I don't know if you would consider this a "paragraph or two" but it took me 5 minutes and I subconsciously brought up points from my initial apology. (This apology was written for this forum this time.)

I know that Cole had the Conduit gene and that Conduits can't be made and the gene can't be "caught". But I like to think deeply into things and I came up with a way to make artificial conduits. Specifically electrokinesis conduits. (This explanation could have some faults. In advance, I'm asking you to point them out to me.)
This is how my fan made inFAMOUS character got his powers: Jason McDonald was standing by a huge lightning rod. He knew he was fucking up but still wanted to do it. He was doing an experiment for his friend that involved absorbing all of the electricity in the city and concentrating it on a certain piece of technology to create a new form of electricity. Jason didn't know or care what this new "super electricity" could be, he just wanted to watch over the experiment. While waiting for the rod to be activated he noticed a bottle of a strange purple liquid next to the rod. A note was beside it and it read "Drink this to break the barriers of human nature and all laws of physics". Jason was getting irritated and he just wanted it to be over already when it happened... all of the electricity was absorbed into the rod. The rod couldn't hold the electricity though and released it. It created a field of white light and Jason was in the middle. He was hit first, and it was agonizing. He was being hit with over 3.5 billion bolts before the bottle of purple liquid busted and it splashed all over him. The field of white light killed everyone in the city but Jason was still alive... just different.
You may not understand so I'll explain. This purple liquid was a, should I say, cell builder. It created plenty of neuro electric pathways around the body. These pathways were connected to most of his vital organs and his hands and feet. These pathways absorb and discharge electricity. They also give the "artificial makeshift conduit" the ability to manipulate the lightning in the atmosphere through a neuro electrical connection.
Unlike conduits (or most conduits) a artificial makeshift conduit practices the use of his powers and must learn new abilities.
These artificial makeshift conduits also have weaknesses: It requires a HUGE amount of electricity for these neuro electric pathways to start functioning. The artificial makeshift conduit must absorb electricity and can't even control the absorption.
They depend on electricity to survive. This electricity keeps their organs working and even heals them. If they absorb electricity they heal faster but if they are running low on electricity, they will heal much slower. They also prefer to stay in areas with great energy usage. This might be instinct because being around electricity can make the artificial makeshift conduit heal moderately fast. If Jason goes without electricity for a month or two he will die. (They can store and discharge electricity. If they go too long without being around electricity they will die it just takes longer if they have full energy tanks.)
Actually, Conduits can be "made" in a sense, the government made their own Conduits in the comics.
I'd have to read the comic, but I'm fairly certain they're refered to as Conduits.
Huh. Also I looked into kinetic energy, and it turns out that using it for powers makes a lot of sense. I originally though that kinetic energy was a pure form of energy that gets stronger the more it moves but it turns out, it's not. It's the energy given off of something when it moves or allows it to move in the first place. Using it to control matter makes sense and the "extra curricular" conduit powers (flight, telekinesis, teleportation, etm.) is definitely using kinetic energy. These three powers are an advanced form of movement which is powered by kinetic energy. Therefore kinetic energy is a big part of the inFAMOUS universe.
Teleportation: By using kinetic energy to disassemble the body's molecular structure into nothingness, the user will travel as a mass of light and there movement will appear to be instant. (Basically separating the atoms that make up the body. Which means that Teleporters ((as I like to call them)) ((Kessler, Reaper Conduits, etm)) can break down particles in objects and living beings, or at least to a certain degree.) The Ray Sphere could have been doing this too. It released a field of kinetic energy that ripped apart molecules of the people to gain neurological electricity.
Flight: Simply by pulling themselves through the air using the energy of movement.
Telekinesis: Concentrating kinetic energy into an object and being able to manipulate the field of energy.
Notice: There could be flaws in this theory or it could be perfectly plausible. It is all a theory and not meant to be taken too seriously. It could be used in an argument or debate of some sort but if there are flaws, I wouldn't recommend using it. Any flaws there are I want to be pointed out to me and I will work to rectify them. I used little to no real evidence to back this theory up but you gotta understsnd, Sucker Punch Productions didn't give much insight on the subject of kinetic energy and no explanation (That I've heard) for the extra curricular conduit powers. Please don't become angry or aggravated and make a on the thread over this theory!

I have got a counter argument for this but I'm going to write it later because I'm doing other stuff on the wiki. However, I will say how kinetic energy powers can go much further than what you've said.
There are 2 major types of energy, kinetic and potential ( but I won't bother talking about potential energy). Most energy types are types of kinetic energy, such as sound, light, radioactive, motion and electrical (to name just a few). Now think, a conduit who's power is to manipulate any form of kinetic energy like Cole does with electricity. That, is a powerful conduit (who may or may not come up when I start my ideal next inFAMOUS discussion).
