Also Called

 * Inception

Capability
Pushers have the ability to implant memories, thoughts and emotions into the minds of other people in order to manipulate them. The skill level of the Pusher determines how many people the Pusher is able to control at one time, and how vivid the implanted memories are. A powerful Pusher can push a large group of people at the same time, basically creating a personal army. A Pusher is able to make a person do anything the Pusher desires, even commit suicide. In the movie Push, a Pusher's eyes indicate how powerful they are: their pupils will dilate to certain degrees depending on how powerful the push is.
