Twilight
Summary
While most ofTwilight ’s vampires are pretty potent , the majority of the Cullen family fellow member do n’t have any special superhuman abilities . The lamia seen in theTwilightnovels and their movie adaptations infamously stray from conventional depictions of the mythical creatures . While there is no one right room to portray vampire , Twilight ’s leech take in a lot of criticism at the height of the franchise ’s popularity , since they were n’t offend by sunlight , they did n’t require to fertilise on human blood to go , and they could n’t transform into squash racquet , rats , or other animals . However , these vampires did have a few new abilities to make up for these shortcomings .
Twilight ’s lamia were super solid , superfast , and had heightened senses . This meant that they often functioned like superheroes , sincerewatching theTwilightmoviesproves that the saga ’s vampire characters displayed more varied major power as the serial progressed . The terminal movie in the series , Twilight : Breaking Dawn Part II , even introduced a vampire who could crouch the elements to his will . However , most ofTwilight ’s Cullen family unit member have no special powers . Twilight ’s lamia technically had powers before their transformation , since , if they had a gift in human animation , it was amplified into a superpower as a vampire . These gifts are n’t very coarse , resulting in most of the Cullen family lacking them .
5Esme Cullen
Edward’s adoptive mother couldn’t turn love into a superpower
There are only 40 lamia with power listed in Stephenie Meyers ’ official fellow traveler to theTwilightmythos , which is a small helping of the thousands of vampires bump in the franchise ’s world . As such , it is no surprisal thatmost of the Cullens have no power . Esme Cullen has no powersin theTwilightmovies since she did n’t have a pronounced gift before her transformation at the hand of her succeeding Ilex paraguariensis , Carlisle . Like most of the franchise ’s vampires , Esme does possess super strength and ace stop number . However , if she had a power , it would likely be hyper - empathy or a trait similar to the ability her daughter - in - law Bella Swan boast .
Edward says that his adoptive motherEsme has a strong ability to love turbulently , a input that suggest she is subject of forging rich emotional bonds than most of the dealership ’s vampires . Since Bella and Edward ’s powers involve reading the thoughts of others and masking them , it is clear that special lamia index can be related to emotions and feelings . As such , it would make sentience if Esme ’s power involved aroused handling . However , the nefarious potency of this ability could jar with her caring persona , which may explain why the part was never allot any powers in the serial publication .
Twilight ’s vampires were sparkly but immortal as any other lamia . Here ’s how honest-to-goodness Edward and the rest of the Cullens were when the saga began .
4Carlisle Cullen
Carlisle’s ability to survive on animal blood doesn’t count as a power
Like Esme , Carlisle Cullen has no powersin theTwilightmovies . However , Carlisle was the first know vampire to survive on animal pedigree , instead of feed on humans , in the world of the series . This ability to overrule his basic biological needs for the sake of avoiding harm establish that Carlisle is inordinately resilient , mean he could be unassailable than some of the franchise ’s other vampire . Carlisle does n’t have a specific major power like Edward ’s mind read or Alice ’s foresightedness , but his ability to live without feeding on human beings reshaped life forTwilight ’s lamia and was fairly heroic , if not technically superhuman .
3Emmett Cullen
Emmett’s immense strength was impressive but apparently not superhuman
Edward ’s adopted brother is a puzzling case sinceTwilight ’s prescribed companion land that Emmett Cullen has no superpowers . However , Emmet ’s bizarreTwilightbackstorysaw him become a vampire after he give-up the ghost while wrestling with a bear and was revived by Rosalie . This feat of superhuman strength show that Emmett was both extremely physically potent and incredibly brave during his life , which should theoretically mean that his vampiric super strength would be magnified by his transformation . However , the motion picture disprove this when Bella handily beat Emmett in an arm grappling competition soon after she is transformed into a lamia by Edward .
Admittedly , Twilight ’s lore hold it cleared that vampires are at their strong when they are newborns and ca n’t yet control their power . However , if Emmett were any strong than the rest of the Cullen family , he would still have been able to beat Bella and his power would be listed in the enfranchisement ’s fellow traveler . As such , viewer can be assured that Emmett ’s bear - grappling was not enough to grant him superpowers after he became a vampire . rather , he is no more sinewy than the rest of the Cullens , despite his sizable physical body .
2Rosalie Hale
Rosalie’s beauty didn’t quite qualify as a power despite its benefits
Like her spouse Emmett , Rosalie is a slightly unusual case when it comes toTwilight ’s superpower normal . Twilight ’s Rosalie Hale has no great power , but she is described as angelically beautiful and the entrancing impression of this beauty are sometimes viewed as a power by other characters . This seems like it could be a borderline case , sinceRosalie ’s beauty does allow her to carry sway over other characters , but her world power is not listed in the author ’s official fellow traveler . It is also not as well quantifiable as the mogul of Edward , Jasper , and Alice . As such , Rosalie can be considered a powerless lamia .
1Only 3 Of The Cullen Vampires Have Powers
A minority of the Cullens have Twilight powers that count
Edward , Jasper , and Alice Cullen all have great power . After her transformation , Bella and her girl Renesmee could also count , as Bella wed into the Cullen family , and she and her daughter both have major power . Alice ’s powers grant herto see into the futurity , while Jasper ’s strength is manipulating the behavior of others . Jasper can feel the emotions of others and apply this power to interpolate berth , avoiding fights and defusing stress when convenient . Edward can read the minds of others , which was what sparked his initial interest in Bella ; he was bemused when he realized he could n’t hear her thoughts .
Bella ’s transmutation into a vampire saw her develop this into a power of her own . Bella can screen her intellection and protect othersfrom psychic onslaught via her vampire powers , another guinea pig of a character ’s existing power being exaggerate by their supernatural changes . This think that Bella can stop the Volturi from tracking her and Edward when they strain to conceal their child from the vampire authorities . However , Bella ’s abilities are still limited . Like the quietus of theTwilightfranchise ’s heroes , she needs all of the Cullen family to defeat the villains of the series .
