The power to remember absolutely everything one thinks, feels, encounters, and experiences. Advanced variation of Enhanced Memory.

Also Called

  • Absolute Memory/Recall/Recollection
  • Hypermnesia/Hyperthymesia
  • Perfect Memory/Recall/Recollection
  • Supernatural Memory/Recall/Recollection
  • Total Memory/Recall/Recollection

Capabilities

The user can remember and recall everything that they have ever experienced, encountered or learned in their lifetime. The user needs only to read, hear or see something once and they will never forget it. They continue to learn for the rest of their lives and their brain will simply compress neural synapses to contain it all, allowing memory of every event, experience or bit of knowledge from birth to the present. Their mind is also entirely immune to Memory Manipulation, unless the ability is first negated or stolen.

Many users who are said to only possess Enhanced Memory actually possess Panmnesia, and many who are said to possess Panmnesia only possess Enhanced Memory (the two are often confused)
